Executive Summary of Freed

Did You Know? The cover of the book is meant to be paradoxical in a way. The cover artist intentionally put the title, Freed, above the photo of a wedding band because of the contrast it creates. For others, marriage is the opposite of freedom, but for Christian, it’s exactly what defines it in his life.

†††

Freed: Fifty Shades Freed as Told by Christian picks up right after Christian proposes to Ana on the night of his 28th birthday. When they re the rest of his family, Carrick Grey, Christian’s father, pulls him aside to speak to him about his relationship with Elena Lincoln. His wife, Grace, had filled him in on their fallout with Elena and the reason behind it, and he sternly expresses his disappointment in Christian. Carrick orders him to reflect on how he disrespected the sanctity of marriage by having an affair with Elena when he was just fifteen years old, and to cut all ties with her. It’s also his wish that Christian and Ana sign a prenup in the event that they divorce. Christian strongly disagrees with his father, and the growing tension in their relationship triggers his childhood insecurities. It pains him to have disappointed his father, and he falls back on his relationship with Ana to help him cope with the darkness hovering over his person. The paparazzi get wind of Christian’s engagement the very next morning, and this does nothing to help his growing anxieties about the Charlie Tango plane crash that almost killed him. Welch, his security advisor, confirms that the accident was likely a result of sabotage, and someone could be after his life. This forces him to provide Ana with a security detail, which she accepts without a fuss. So far, the only suspects Christian and his team can think of are Jack Hyde,

Ana’s former boss, and a man named “Woods” whom he fired. Whoever is behind the attempt in his life isn’t the only one after him, though. Elena Lincoln won’t stop ing him about his engagement, thus he finally makes the decision to cut her off from his life. He calls up his lawyer, Debra Kingston, and tells him to gift the salon business to Elena. Kingston reminds him that he will lose hundreds of thousands of dollars by doing this, but he doesn't care. This decision already makes him feel liberated from the monster who conditioned him to be a Dominant. While Christian may have taken this major leap for Ana, not everything is going exactly as planned in their relationship either. With just six weeks before their wedding, they find themselves facing significant hurdles. Most of them stem from Ana’s defiance of Christian’s controlling nature, such as her refusal to give up her apartment and move in with him. She also opposes the idea of vowing to obey him, which is something Christian cannot grasp. He tries to make her understand how much he needs her obedience, but Ana won’t budge. In his therapy session with Dr. John Flynn, they discuss his resurfacing feelings of abandonment and insecurity. This makes him think of calling off the wedding because he doesn’t want to risk reliving the pain of Ana leaving him. Dr. Flynn’s assessments of him also makes him think that he may not be master of the universe anymore, and this doesn’t sit well with him. Chrisitan continues to suffer from nightmares about his mother and her pimp. Somewhere along the dream, his mother, Ella, morphs into Ana, and he helplessly watches her corpse on the floor of his childhood home. In one such evening, his nightmares get so bad that Ana wakes him up. He realizes then that he’d rather compromise and take risks if it means being with Ana because he can’t cope with the thought of her gone from his life. To Ana’s surprise, Christian suddenly relents about the vow and accepts that she won’t obey him. Their much-awaited wedding day finally arrives, and Christian gets a message from Elena. She tells him that marrying Ana is a big mistake and that when his marriage falls apart, she’ll be waiting for him. He doesn’t let this ruin the happiest day of his life, though, and he makes Ana his wife once and for all. They go on a honeymoon in Europe, and it upsets him when she goes topless on the beach because the paparazzi are trying to snap photos of her. She urges him

to punish her, and they end up having rough sex while she’s cuffed. He also gives her hickies to prevent her from going topless on the beach again. To make it up to her for the bruises on her wrists, he buys her Chanel bracelets that she can use to cover them. Christian and Ana return from their honeymoon to the news that Jack Hyde broke into Grey House, his office building, and started a fire. This triggers Christian’s anxiety once more, and he gives Ana strict instructions to not leave their penthouse at Escala. She disobeys him, though, when she decides to have drinks with her best friend Kate. Fortunately, her absence in Escala prevented Jack from harming her when he breaks in. The news of his tresing forces Christian to fly back to Seattle from New York. His security team tells him that Jack’s van contains tools and ransom notes that prove his intention to kidnap Ana. Chrisitan nevertheless punishes Ana for disobeying him, but his actions during sex become so aggressive that she ends up using her safe word. He finally tells her where his fears stem from, and she clarifies that she and Ella are two different people. Just because he wasn’t able to save his mother doesn’t mean that he won’t be a good husband. Soon after reconciling this matter, they’re faced with another hurdle upon the news of Ana’s pregnancy. He gets mad at her for missing her birth control shots and leaves her crying at the dinner table to confide with Dr. Flynn. His unavailability leads Christian to discuss the matter with Elena. When she tries to touch him, however, he recoils, and this is when it hits him that he has always been afraid of her. Drunk and emotional, Chrisitan returns home to Ana and explains that he’s just jealous of the baby. He’s sure that she’ll love their child more, and he doesn’t want that yet. All is almost well between them until Ana reads Elena’s text message to Christan, which tells her that they were together the night he left. She then threatens to leave him and take care of the baby herself. They don’t talk, and Chrisitan believes her silence is all due to his nighttime rendezvous with Elena. When Chrisitan gets a call from the bank informing him that Ana is attempting to withdraw five million dollars, he thinks she’s actually leaving him. He gives

the bank his approval and resigns himself to the circumstances until Jason Taylor, his most trusted bodyguard, gives him an update on Jack. Apparently, someone posted his bail. They connect the dots and track Ana’s phone. Christian and the Seattle police find her soon after she shoots Jack on the leg for hurting her and her baby. She explains to Christian that she only went along with Jack’s plan because he kidnapped Mia. It’s through this incident that they discover exactly why Jack hates Christian so much. They were in the same orphanage as little boys, and he thought it unfair that the Greys adopted Christian and not him. It’s also confirmed that Jack is the saboteur of the Charlie Tango crash. Eric Lincoln, Elena’s ex-husband, was the one that paid Hyde's bail so that they could both get revenge on Christian. The tables are quickly turned when it’s revealed that Chrisitan has been slowly buying up shares of Eric’s company, Lincoln Timber. Upon acquiring 66% of the shares, he consolidates them, fires the board, and leaves Eric as CEO of his now-defunct company. The book ends with Ana and Christian becoming parents to a son they name Theodore Raymond Grey. Ana is also pregnant with their second child, a girl they name Phoebe Grey.

Fireside Question 1

Carrick Grey was mad at Christian for having an affair with Elena when he was fifteen years old. He believes his son disrespected the sanctity of marriage, and that he may not be fit to be a married man. Do you think it is fair for Carrick to assume this when the affair happened during Christian’s adolescent years? Why or why not?

Fireside Question 2

Christian eventually severed his business ties with Elena. He did this by giving her his share of their salon business even if it meant a considerable financial loss on his end. Why do you think Christian was hesitant to do this?

Fireside Question 3

Ana opposed the idea of vowing to obey Christian on their wedding day. Christian couldn’t grasp this and tried to make her understand how much he needed her to obey him. Why do you think Christian still struggles to give Ana more freedom even at this stage of their relationship?

Fireside Question 4

Ana’s refusal to obey him made him think of calling off the wedding. His increasing lack of control over her and other aspects of his life forced him to rethink his status as the master of the universe. What do you think are the beneficial and detrimental effects of Christian meditating on being the master of the universe?

Fireside Question 5

Christian suffered nightmares about his mother and her pimp. In the middle of his dream, his mother’s corpse always transformed into Ana, and this made him feel helpless. Why do you think Christian was projecting his feelings towards his mother to Ana?

Fireside Question 6

Christian punished Ana through sex for going topless on the beach. The handcuffs they used left bruises on her wrists, so he bought her Chanel bracelets to cover them. Since the bruises weren’t caused intentionally, why do you think Christian wanted Ana to hide them?

Fireside Question 7

When Ana announced her pregnancy, she didn’t expect Christian to take it so badly. He got so angry that he walked out on her and left her crying. Why do you think Christian’s emotions got the better of him during this pregnancy announcement?

Fireside Question 8

Christian told Ana that he got mad because he was jealous of the baby. He was sure that their child would always be first in her heart, and he didn’t want that to happen just yet. How do you think this thought process could affect Christian’s ability to be a good father?

Fireside Question 9

After finding out that Christian had drinks with Elena because of her pregnancy announcement, Ana threatened to leave him. She said that she would take care of their baby herself. Do you think Ana was convinced that Christian would let her leave so simply when it came down to it?

Fireside Question 10

Christian received a call from the bank informing him that Ana was attempting to withdraw five million dollars. He assumed she was preparing to leave him, but his bodyguard refuted the idea by telling him that someone bailed Jack Hyde. Since Christian knew how uncomfortable Ana was with his money, why do you think he was so quick to assume that her huge cash withdrawal meant she was leaving him?

Fireside Question 11

Jack Hyde and Christian were in the same orphanage as little boys. Jack’s resentment of him stemmed from his jealousy over the fact that the Greys didn’t adopt him. Why do you think Jack never managed to get over this in spite of his good career prospects?

Fireside Question 12

Ana and Christian’s firstborn was a boy named Theodore Raymond Grey. By the end of the book, Ana was also six months pregnant with their second child, a girl they named Phoebe Grey. What obstacles do you think they faced in parenting their children, given Christian’s need for control?

The Beginnings of Freed

Did You Know? E. L. James considers writing the Fifty Shades of Grey story from Christian’s perspective to be a labor of love. Until she started writing the fourth book, Christian remained as frustrating and fascinating to her as he was to Anastasia Steele. It delights her to break into his psyche and chart his emotional growth as he commits his life to Ana.

†††

E. L. James got the idea to write Fifty Shades of Grey from Christian’s perspective during the filming of the first movie adaptation. James didn’t get along well with director Sam Taylor-Johnson, and she vented her frustration through writing. The process of diving into Christian’s head and writing the first chapter of Fifty Shades was so cathartic for her, and she knew that was exactly what she needed at that moment. She published this chapter at the back of the trilogy’s final book, Fifty Shades Freed. It was originally meant to be a bonus content for readers, so she was surprised when it gained immense popularity. Fans started asking her to write the entire trilogy from Christian’s perspective, and while she had no intentions to do so at first, she found that it was the perfect way to get over the first film adaptation. The first of the Fifty Shades of Grey companion books titled Grey came out in 2015. Darker, the second book, was published in 2017. It wasn’t until 2021 that James managed to finish the final installment, partly because of her work on another book, and partly because of the pandemic. She updated her readers regularly on her blog, telling them that there were only so many jigsaws she could do to keep herself entertained. Finishing Freed kept her sane throughout

the first year of the pandemic. James considered it an intellectual challenge to tackle the story from Christian’s perspective. It forced her to observe their fictional world from different angles and find ways to insert new elements to escalate the thrill of the narrative. Other than these, retelling the story from the eyes of a man wasn’t as difficult as she expected. She didn’t have to describe things the way she did in the original trilogy, because a woman’s perspective is immensely more complex. James was also not shy about discussing her experience doing this as a postmenopausal woman. The process of writing through the lens of an angry young man was great fun, as it gave her a healthy outlet. No matter the ups and downs of her journey, however, she just wishes that her readers will enjoy this new book in the series.

Fireside Question 13

E. L. James didn’t get along with Sam Taylor-Johnson, the director of Fifty Shades of Grey’s film adaptation. To vent her frustration, she decided to write the first chapter of the book from Christian’s perspective. What about the first movie do you think James was unhappy about?

Fireside Question 14

James found the process of diving into Christian’s head and writing the first chapter of Fifty Shades cathartic. It was exactly what she needed to get over her frustrations at the first film adaptation of her books. Why do you think diving further into her own story relieved her?

Fireside Question 15

She published the first chapter that she wrote in Christian’s perspective at the back of the trilogy’s final book, Fifty Shades Freed. She intended it to be just bonus content, but the readers demanded more of it. Why do you think the idea of reading the entire trilogy again from Christian’s perspective appealed so much to her readers?

Fireside Question 16

James itted that she had no intention of retelling the entire story from Christian’s perspective. She changed her mind because her fans were so invested in the idea and the process of writing it made her happy. What do you think were the challenges she faced in pursuing this project?

Fireside Question 17

James updated her readers regularly on her blog about the progress of the companion books. It took a while for her to finish writing Freed, and she found that it was the ideal way to stay sane during the pandemic. Why do you think it took James longer to write and publish Freed than she did the two previous books?

Fireside Question 18

James itted that tackling the story from Christian’s perspective was an intellectual challenge. Doing so forced her to observe their fictional world from different angles and look for new avenues to amplify the thrill of the narrative. In what ways does Freed manage to improve the original narrative?

Fireside Question 19

James said that it wasn’t challenging to write from a man’s perspective, in general. She didn’t feel the need to describe everything the way she did when writing the original trilogy. What are the major differences between novels written from a man’s perspective and those written in a woman’s perspective?

Fireside Question 20

James had fun writing Freed as a post-menopausal woman. Telling the story from the lens of an angry young man gave her a healthy outlet. How do you think her personal struggles influenced Freed’s narrative?

Getting to Meet E.L. James Did You Know? E. L. James shared the first chapter of Freed on her blog on June 18, 2020. She hadn’t finished writing the first draft at that time and itted that the pandemic was affecting her. Still, she wanted to do this in honor of Christian Grey’s birthday.

†††

Erika Leonard née Mitchell is the real name of bestselling author, E. L. James. She was born on March 7, 1963, in Willesden, Middlesex, and is half-Scottish, half-Chilean. James grew up in Buckinghamshire and received her education at Pipers Corner School. She later went to Wycombe High School at High Wycombe, and later studied history at the University of Kent. Upon completing her education, James worked at the National Film and Television School as a studio manager’s assistant. This was how she met her husband, Niall Leonard, who was an aspiring screenwriter at the time. Following their marriage in 1987, James took on a job at a television production company called Shooting Stars, where she worked as a manager, and later transferred to the British Broadcasting Corporation to become a production executive. James has always loved to read romance novels, and although she wrote some stories, they never amounted to anything much. Watching the film adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s vampire-themed romance book, Twilight, however, was a game-changer for her. The appeal of Twilight’s characters, primarily the two love interests, Edward and Bella, compelled her to write fan fiction and publish them online in 2009. Whereas other fan fiction writers remained faithful to the fictional world of Twilight, James decided to take Edward and Bella’s characters into an alternate universe with no vampires or other mystical elements. She gave her fan fiction the title, Master of the Universe, and published them under the pseudonym

Snowqueens Icedragon. James released her story in installments, with her husband serving as her primary editor. Master of the Universe and Master of the Universe II amassed a huge following, primarily because of its racy nature. This drastic contrast to Twilight’s wholesome romance made it stand out from other fan fiction, and soon, James had thousands of readers ing her work. Two years after she initially published Master of the Universe, James decided to transform it from fan fiction to original fiction. She exchanged the name Edward Cullen for Christian Grey, Bella Swan for Anastasia Steele, and gave the story the new title Fifty Shades of Grey. The main narrative of this original fiction, however, remained largely the same as the fan fiction. In 2011, an Australian publisher signed James on and released Fifty Shades of Grey digitally and in print. Fifty Shades Darker, the second book, was published in September of the same year, and in January 2012, the final book of the trilogy, Fifty Shades Freed, was also released. James’ growing fan base catapulted her further into success. A month after the trilogy’s completion, international publisher Knopf Doubleday offered her a contract. Through them, Fifty Shades of Grey became Amazon Kindle e-reader’s top-selling book of all time. The demand for it was so extensive among female readers globally that it was translated into over 12 languages. This includes Japanese, Hebrew, French, Romanian, and Korean. The first Fifty Shades of Grey adaptation came out in 2015 starring Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan. This was followed by two more films released in 2017 and 2018, respectively. James acted as a producer for all three films. She said she didn’t want the film adaptations to be about profit only. Her readership mattered to her, which was why she worked hard to translate the books into scripts with screenwriter Kelly Marcel. While the process was tedious, she was glad that she took part in it. The red room scenes worried her most, as she wanted them to come off as both tasteful and erotic on screen. Fortunately, the final results were just as she wanted them. Although both the books and the movies received considerable success in of profit, they were all subjected to a lot of criticism. One of the main concern readers had with it was its depiction of BDSM, which they claimed was

inaccurate and was used as a means to cover up Christian and Ana’s abusive relationship. The BDSM techniques shown in the book were also incorrect, and this misinformation could be dangerous to readers who attempt to recreate them. Still, there was no stopping James’ momentum as she ventured into writing the trilogy from Christian’s perspective. She did this due to popular demand after publishing one chapter of the first book in this style. The readers demanded more, which resulted in the three companion books to the original trilogy aptly titled Grey, Darker, and Freed. Regardless of how her books are received, there’s no denying the impact that she has made on the romance genre and in the lives of her readers. James feels humbled by the fan letters and emails she gets about how her books turned them into avid readers. This propels her to continue entertaining people and give them an avenue to escape their daily lives.

Fireside Question 21

While James loved reading romance novels and writing some stories, she didn’t take the craft seriously until she saw the film adaptation of Twilight. What attribute of Twilight do you think had the biggest impact on James? Of all the possible ways she could have expressed her adoration of the story, why do you think she chose to write her own version?

Fireside Question 22

James found Edward Cullen and Bella Swan to be immensely compelling characters. This led her to write fan fiction about them, which she published online. Why do you think so many people feel the need to read and write fan fiction?

Fireside Question 23

A lot of people wrote Twilight fan fiction, but most of them remained faithful to the fictional world Stephanie Meyer created. James, however, decided to remove the vampire elements and create new identities for Edward and Bella. Why do you think she opted to create an alternate universe for these characters?

Fireside Question 24

James published Master of the Universe under the pseudonym Snowqueens Icedragon. Her husband served as her editor. How do you think James came up with her fan fiction pseudonym?

Fireside Question 25

Master of the Universe’s contrast to Twilight’s wholesome romance appealed to many fan fiction readers. Over the course of two years, James managed to amass thousands of readers to her fan fiction. Do you think the readers’ reception of James’ fan fiction is a direct result of their dissatisfaction with Edward and Bella’s romance story? Why or why not?

Fireside Question 26

After concluding her fan fiction, James decided to turn it into an original fiction. She did this primarily by changing the title and renaming all the characters. What do you think compelled James to turn it into an original fiction?

Fireside Question 27

While James altered the names in her story, she didn’t change much of the plot. Fifty Shades of Grey’s main narrative still largely resembled her fan fiction. Why do you think James didn’t change the narrative in a way that distinguished it from her fan fiction?

Fireside Question 28

Fifty Shades of Grey became Amazon Kindle e-reader’s top-selling book of all time following its release by a major publisher. Her growing number of female readers all over the world led to its translation to several languages. Why do you think her books have such a huge female fan base?

Fireside Question 29

James was a producer for all three film adaptations of her books. She knew that it would be a lot of work, but that she was willing to commit to it to make her readers happy. Do you think all authors are cut out to be effective film producers?

Fireside Question 30

James worried the most about how the film was going to depict the red room scenes in her books. She wanted them to be both erotic and tasteful. Why do you think it’s critical for these particular scenes to come off as tasteful to moviegoers?

Fireside Question 31

Many readers claimed that James’ depiction of BDSM was inaccurate. They even believe that it was simply used to cover up the abusive relationship between Christian and Ana. In what ways was the depiction of BDSM inaccurate? Why is it important that she portrayed it correctly?

Fireside Question 32

Fifty Shades of Grey received a lot of criticism for the BDSM techniques shown in the books. People feared that this misinformation could harm readers who want to recreate them. How do you think James could’ve improved her depiction of BDSM? Was there anything she could’ve done to discourage her readers from attempting what they read?

What’s Next for Freed?

Did You Know? Zachary Webber narrated the audiobook of Freed. He also narrated the two books prior, Grey and Darker, alongside more than twenty other books for Penguin Random House. Webber received generally good from the Fifty Shades fan due to his great delivery.

†††

Freed was a highly anticipated book in the publishing world. A lot of the series’ loyal fans expressed eagerness to read the final book and relive the experience. Still, there were other fans who thought its publication was overdue, and no longer had any interest in reading the story from Christian’s perspective. Another issue rose among its readership when people started giving it one-star ratings on book review sites like Goodreads even before its publication. When Freed was finally released on June 1, 2021, it received mixed reviews from fans and critics alike. There were those who thought the book was excellently written, and that Chrisitan’s perspective gave them a fresh view of his relationship with Ana. Some readers who voiced their interest in the book believed it was too long. The story didn’t justify the length, and they opted to not finish the book since they already knew the conclusion anyway. Its major critics were a mix of big publications and disappointed fans. They complained that there were too many subplots that did nothing to improve the story. E. L. James’ writing style also received heavy criticism, partly because of her overall delivery of the story, and partly because of her continuous personification of Chrisitan’s private parts. Many readers felt that the book could’ve been edited some more to streamline the plot and reduce the word count.

Just like other authors who published books during the pandemic, James had to launch and market hers virtually. She appeared on numerous TV shows to discuss Freed and the overall success of the Fifty Shades trilogy. She said it still bothered her that society was still scornful of women expressing their sexual fantasies. Fortunately, her husband and sons are proud of her and ive of what she does. She its to getting embarrassed at the idea of men reading her books, though, but hopes that they’d indulge in Freed as well. As for a fourth book, James has confirmed that she already has the plot figured out. She said that she wanted to leave Christian and Ana in a good place, but that she would never say never to another book featuring her favorite couple.

Fireside Question 33

Freed was a highly anticipated book. Many of the original trilogy’s fans were eager to get their hands on the final installment of the companion books. Why do you think Christian and Ana’s story still appeals to the fans years after they were first introduced?

Fireside Question 34

There were fans who thought Freed’s publication was overdue. They didn’t have any interest in reading it anymore, even if Christian’s perspective gave away new details to the story. Do you think James and her publisher could’ve planned its release better to secure her readers’ interest?

Fireside Question 35

While the fans who read the book liked it, they thought it was too long. The story could’ve been shorter since they knew how it would play out anyway. What parts of Freed do you think could’ve been cut off to compress the narrative?

Fireside Question 36

Freed has a considerable amount of disappointed fans. They complained that James added a lot of subplots that didn’t really improve the story or their experience of it. What subplot did you like least and why?

Fireside Question 37

A lot of critics ridiculed James’ writing style. A part of it was due to her general style, and the other was her personification of Christian’s private parts. What do you think could be improved in James’ writing style? Why do you think the personification of private parts is off-putting to many?

Fireside Question 38

James is well versed in the controversies that surround her books. She said that it was normal for society to scorn women for expressing their sexual fantasies. Why do you think women aren’t encouraged to indulge in their sexual fantasies the same way men do? In what ways does the Fifty Shades trilogy break the social norm regarding this matter?

Fireside Question 39

James considered herself lucky that her husband and sons are proud of her. Even so, she gets embarrassed by the idea of men reading her works. Why do you think this makes her embarrassed? Do you think male readers enjoy her books as much as female readers do?

Fireside Question 40

James already has a plot for the fourth book of her Fifty Shades series. She hasn’t confirmed her plans to write it yet, but she is open to the possibility of it. Do you think a fourth book will be received well by the original trilogy’s fans?
