Quote #10
I grabbed her shoulders and pulled her to me hard. I smelled her fever, and the scent of blood and sex and urine. I came again. (4.50.90)
When Marion finally loses his virginity, it is to Genet, but not in the jungle-fantasy honeymoon suite he'd dreamed about. Instead, it's after she's been sick and in jail, and the sex is painful for her. She asks him to stop, and he ignores her. There doesn't seem to be any responsibility for what amounts to sexual assault here, but Marion certainly grows to hate Genet when he contracts her illness.
