Man against machine, machine wins, and, tied to the horse stall beaten by her husband and sexually abused by her son, Olga loses her struggle in the barn.
Submitting her will to him for the sake of the masculinity and pride of her husband, Olga sacrificed herself to be physically and emotionally abused. For her husband to feel that he exerted some modicum of control over some portion of his miserable life, she allowed him to beat and whip her naked body nearly to death. Undoubtedly, in the hopes that he didn't kill her and do the same to her daughter next, and in the hopes that he'd get what he needed from beating and whipping her, she allowed her son to sexually abuse her so that the both of them would leave her daughter alone. A kind and loving mother and what any mother would do, she sacrificed herself to protect her daughter.
For the sake and safety of her daughter, Rachel, Olga volunteered to take her place to be sexually molested in the barn. Her unspoken agreement to be chosen to be so battered and so abused was her motherly decision to save her daughter from the same fate. Olga was an unwilling victim in her husband's game of pain, debauchery, and torture. Yet, when there was sexual pleasure given to her by her son, instead of the physical violence delivered her by her husband, she was more than a willing volunteer.
Albeit aroused by the beatings and not as much by the whippings that came after Karl pleasured her and she pleasured him, not that she had any choice in her decision being that she was tied to the horse stall, she needed the beating to get her in the amorous mood to have incestuous sex with her son. For lack of a better word, not as normal for a mother to sexually want her son in the way that a son wanted his mother, the pain she suffered from her husband was what she needed to freely cross that incestuous line. Just as she disliked the violence and the physical abuse given to her by the hand of her husband, in anticipation of getting herself ready to be intimate with her son, she tolerated the pain and the suffering for the sake of the sexual pleasure. She needed the beating to excite her sexually more and to make her feel guilty less. Wicked in her justification of what she needed to make her feel where she needed to be to survive this crazy father and son team, she learned to not only look forward to but also to love the sexual attention given her by the hand, the mouth, and the cock of her son.
Screaming and kicking, allowing him to think that he was in control, if only in control of her, her son, and her daughter, she vehemently begged her husband to stop beating and whipping her. Cooing and fawning, she not so vehemently begged her son to stop stripping her, touching her, feeling her, caressing her, and sexually assaulting her. Even though everything was changing, some things remained the same, especially all of those things that occurred within the barn between this horrible husband, his perverted son, and his wicked wife. The reason why she was in the barn again was because her husband was drunk again, Olga didn't obey again, and her son was horny again. Especially when the incestuous mood heated up in the house between father and daughter and between brother and sister, perhaps if only for the sake of wanting to have sex with her son again and to save Rachel from the same fate, one may wonder if Olga instigated this visit to the barn.
Even during these troubled times of uncertainty and frustration, with women not always readily available for Karl to date when living out on a farm miles from his next neighbor and living even further from the city, some things never do change. Conveniently available to satisfy his every sexual whim were his shapely mother and his sexy sister. Being that he received his father's approval to have sex with his wife, Karl was happy to be the obedient son by obliging not only his father's perversion but also his mother's libido. While his father sat and watched while masturbating himself, Karl pleasured his mother.
"You must be punished Olga," said her red faced husband spitting out his anger as he yelled. "You must learn to respect and obey me."
"Let me go! Please let me go! Don't do this to me, not again," cried Olga. "I beg you. Please stop. Please don't. No! I can't take this anymore. Please stop."
"You must learn to obey your husband," he said again repeating himself in his drunkenness. "Having forgotten all of your lessons, you must relearn them now again. You must learn to respect me," said Hugo.
"Why should I respect you when you don't respect me?" Flooded with tears, she looked up at him with a face of fear while struggling against her ties.
"You're a woman Olga. You don't deserve respect. You don't get respect; you give it," said Hugo with a sneer and a slap.
"Why should I obey you when you're so cruel to me even when I'm obeying and respecting you?"
"What you call obedience, I call disobedience and what you call respect, I call disrespect. I see the looks that you give me. I hear you whispering behind my back to my son and to my daughter," he said pointing a finger of contempt at her. "You don't respect me, you disrespect me."
When once she looked at him with love, she now looked at him with fear. When once he looked at her with love, he now looked at her with hatred.
"Dear God in Heaven, haven't I suffered enough?" As if God was there ready to swoop down to save her, Olga looked up to the rafters of the barn before refocusing her attention to her husband. "How can I respect the man that beats and whips his wife? I can't take this anymore Hugo." Olga stopped her screaming to start crying while trying to plead some sense to her husband. "As a weak woman, as your loving wife, and as the caring mother of your children, I have some rights to--"
"Rights! Rights? What rights? Do you mean women's rights? Your insistent delusion of women's rights is why you're here in the barn again Olga," he said looking at her as if she had lost her mind. "Women have no rights," yelled Hugo in German as if she was a captured prisoner of the German revolution instead of his wife and the mother of his children. "Unlike me, a man, the owner of this house and this land, you're a nobody and a no one. Unable to even vote, even in the eyes of Germany, you don't even exist."
"Surely, Hugo, as the woman you love, I have the right to--"
"You have no rights," he said again, this time louder. As if his finger was a gun and he was about to shoot her dead, he made his lambasting more personal by pointing his index finger at her face and only inches away from her nose. "My animals are not only more valuable to me than you are but also have more rights than you do," he said with a laugh. "They have the right to go to market to fetch me a fair price and they have the right to be slaughtered and to be eaten to feed me. If you have any rights at all, you have the right to respect me and obey me."
But for her ties holding her in place, her binds stopped her from moving not much more than a few inches in either direction, side to side or up and down. Appearing woozy after being violently awakened from her sleep and dragged down a flight of stairs from her bed, she was dizzy against the onslaught of his physical, emotional, and verbal abuse. No doubt exhausted from being so brutally beaten after working all day to maintain her house and serve her husband and her son, as if she was a dying swan in the last scene of a ballet, she crumbled against the weight of herself and the unsteadiness of her legs. She would have collapsed to the ground were it not for her binds that tightened against her wrists and held her in place to prevent her from falling further. Weak kneed from being beaten and exhausted from lack of sleep, the weight of her slim, shapely body that pulled against the leather straps hurt her wrists enough to make them bleed.
"Karl," she said to her son looking at him with love. "Help Mommy. Untie me. Please, I beg you. My wrists hurt and are bleeding. You're big and you're strong, you can stop this abuse. Don't let your father do this to me."
Obviously torn by his blind dogged allegiance to his father and his incestuous lustful love for his mother, Karl looked from his mother to his father and back to his mother again with eyes that begged her forgiveness for not untying her and for not stopping the physical abuse. Intent on arousing his sexual lust for his mother by touching her and feeling her in the way that his father was determined to soothe his rage by beating, whipping, and controlling his wife, no doubt wanting this incest to continue, Karl didn't intercede on his mother's behalf. Undoubtedly, if his father's abuse of his mother worsened, he'd step in with a heavy hand to stop his father from really hurting and/or killing his mother. Instead of untying her, instead of setting her free, and instead of protecting her from further harm from his demonic father, on the pretense of helping her to stand and to take the pressure off of the leather straps rubbing against her skin, he took pleasure in touching, feeling, and caressing his mother everywhere through her nightgown.
What son would touch, feel, and caress his mother's body in such an incestuous, sexual way? Albeit being that she was tied to the horse stall and was unable to stop the sexual abuse, what mother would allow her son to touch, feel, and caress her body in such an incestuous, sexual way? Nothing new to this family, this incestuous sideshow had been happening since Karl's 18th birthday, a son having his perverted way with his mother and his mother obviously enjoying the sexual attention that her husband was unwilling and/or unable to give her. Only and unfortunately, the incest escalated since Rachel had turned 18-years-old.
