QUESTION TWELVE
12. How did Flynn view women in general? Be sure to be accurate in your answer.
being a hedonist, one who seeks to maximize pleasure, errol flynn seems to find pleasure in women as well. not necessarily in sexual relationship, but more in beauty. in every single one of his encounter with a woman in my wicked, wicked ways, errol flynn always makes reference to beauty, such as: "pretty," "slender," "lovely picture, arms outspread, lovely full breasts," "there is nothing hard or cold about the flesh of the heathen chinee," "the most spectacular sight," and many other.
despite his admiration toward female beauty, flynn makes a strong remark that love between man and woman is not something that comes out from communication. his relationship with tuperselai, in which he hardly talks to her because he has problem talking in tuperselai's language, went smoothly, and the moment they made love, he described it as "a beautiful thing," and "one of [his] most precious poetic moment." (flynn 105) flynn's conclusion from such a beautiful love without much communication is that "a man and a woman should never speak the same language." (flynn 106)
flynn reveals his view on women clearly in page 248 after his troublesome relationship with his first wife, lili damita. flynn considers that "women try to make the man a personal prize," while from the way he sees it, "if you love someone, you will love him enough to want to see him free and unfettered." flyn also ridicules the concept of monogamy; he claims that "it is no man's natural state to be monogamous. neither is it woman's." more strongly, he argues that monogamy is "nothing more than a travesty on human nature."
