>and dies at her master's request
huh? when did that happen?

I did not read a book but saw that movie sometime in my childhood but it was not that arousing even then.

The most memorable thing was how all that submission works (not only in BDSM but for women on general). as "I am your master and you obey all what I say but you decide if you want to be by slave or not." what means that the real master in the relationship is the slave because if master will screw up somewhere he won't be a master anymore :)
So during all that movie master was serving slave rather than slave serving master and she was pretty pleased.


Considering similar stories probably much better stuff is available on ASSTR as there was nothing special happening in that movie.
