Apologia and Degradation of Intimacy in the Novel and the Movie I Served the King of England

  • ABSTRACT

    This essay examines the varieties of intimacy depicted in the novel and the film “I Served the King of England” and shows how totalitarianism prioritized love to the Party and the Party Leader over the intimate love between men and women and how the Nazi idea of the pure race transformed human sexuality into animalistic copulation.
