 I side with Bates character.  He was a lying scumbag.  Deserved his fate. 
 He lied to her or in general you mean? 
 I do agree that she’s more likeable (even though she’s nuts). At least she’s true to herself 
 She just hates liars. You’d walk away fine if you’re an honest person. She’s a version of God I subscribe to. 
 That’s not 100% true. With her you walk away fine if you do exactly what she asks. A disagreement and you get her wrath 
 She knew he lied from the beginning. 
 His whole existence was a lie. But he definitely lied to her. 
 He’s definitely douchey. 
 Lying to an insane person who holds you captive though…
People would say anything to survive in a situation like this 
 Define insane 
 You don’t know what insane means?

 Define sane then. 
 Let’s go back to your first question for a minute. Let’s entertain the idea for a second. For starters, someone who holds you captive against your will, burns your book because it doesnt satisfy her fantasies, drugs you, uses violence to make you do what she wants 
 Repeatedly says she loves you right before using said violence. Doesnt sound sane to me 
 Saylor is Paul Sheldon. 
 Deserved his ultimate fate. His version of hell for the life he led. 
 What is it that he did that was so wrong again, during his life? Writing books? 
 What does he write? Letters & such? https://image.nostr.build/20dfadad0a8bbbe4aa500202bbf2f5f9ac482fe8ae9692647ba8e6178821059f.jpg  
 Ah so you’re saying all fiction writers are liars. I mean that’s true to an extent. If you wanna call fiction lies sure.  But she loves his lies. Eats them up. And puts him on a pedestal. Loves him even
