Week 6 - My Revolutions


My Revolutions shows the main character Anna Addision and her ‘experiments’ designed to manipulate society. Anna comes from a strict Quacker religious.background. Her father raised her to recite Quacker catechism which later shows in her dedication and his support of her beliefs. Sex for anna is always an assault and she believe in the ideology that free love is a battling rim set out to destroy monogamy. Her desire for sexual power and abuse demonstrates her self rejection issues and childhood guilt. 
In the time of Anna's’ revolt sexuality was much more repressed and hidden in society. She uses this as a tool for her experiments which relates back to her dads upbringing in a sacrificial religion background. Anna Addision fetishizes sexual freedom as an object of desire for others to create a revolution and control her group of followers. Anna portrays revolution as a faith and demonstrates her religious teachings that if society is doing an unjust thing you have to put your body on the line, literally.
