Changes

'''''Fifty Shades of Grey''''' is the first book in the ''Fifty Shades'' trilogy, all three books written by British author E.L. James. The book is not based off of original characters, and most of the first book is copied verbatim from a [[The Twilight Saga | Twilight]] fanfiction titled ''Masters of the Universe'' that previously existed on FanFiction.net and was removed several months before the publication of ''Fifty Shades of Grey.'' More than 70% of ''Fifty Shades of Grey'' is identical to ''Masters of the Universe,'' with the only differences in the identical portions being "Edward Cullen" and "Bella Swann" being changed to "Christian Grey" and "Anastasia Steele." Smaller, but still significant, portions of the latter two books in the trilogy (''Fifty Shades Darker'' and ''Fifty Shades Freed'') are taken from later parts of ''Masters of the Universe.''

==Relationship Themes==

The ''Fifty Shades'' trilogy shows, on the surface, a relationship that is represented by the characters involved as being healthy and consensual. [[BDSM]] mechanics are involved, though it must be stressed that the trilogy was written by someone with no firsthand knowledge of techniques to do with the fetish and consequently is a distorted misrepresentation of both the power dynamics and activities that commonly take place within a BDSM relationship. What E.L. James outlines is not the "safe, sane, and consensual" power dynamic that exists within a relatively-normal BDSM relationship, but a psychologically and physically abusive relationship with multiple red flags being raised for any attentive reader within the first book. Any doubts as to the unhealthy nature of Christian Grey's obsession ought be dispelled when he threatens to rape Anastasia in the elevator on the way to his penthouse.
