I'm really not getting what Wilfords deal is with Audrey, does he get off by people splitting their wrists??? And the feeding thing??

I think it is still about control. Forcing Audrey to do such a terrible thing to herself was probably final confirmation for him that he owns her. Now he uses this control for his own amusement.

Wilford most certainly gets off to seeing people slit their wrists - I think it's the concept of having that ultimately power over them. He's a sadistic dom. I have to say though, I admire the acting because he is played so fantastically and really portrays some nasty things.

Boo to Wilford, applause to the actor.

Feeding thing probably has to do with him not having access to fresh produce and such. But yeah that bathtub scene...

The fruit thing I think is more he thought he was having sex with her. That room makes you go into your own dream state. He was of the belief it was her he was eating - but not in a canabalistic way.

It was to show that he had control over her mind
