I realize that the most accepted view of the young boy on the rocks is Johan’s homosexual desires as a young boy and his struggle with this fact. However I agree with the idea of pedophilia being a motive since I have heard many people not understand the difference between pedophilia and homosexuality. I could easily see viewers in this time period not understanding the difference and believe that not only had he had an affair with another woman but also perhaps a young boy. To me this brings back ideas of the Catholic Church where homosexuality is often seen as the same thing as pedophilia. I think for me to have believed it was his sexuality as a young boy it would have worked better if he had seen two boys doing similar things as he did (this could be too much even for our current time period).Sallie Piscitellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14764765448788567693noreply@blogger.com
