[This has been rotting in my drafts since early 2020. Thought I'd publish it for fun] I'm reading Maurice and oh my god, Clive suddenly becoming straight in the middle of the book is the biggest fucking plot twist.
#personal
#maurice
#maurice spoilers
#???
#i cannot believe this
#i saw the movie some time ago and I saw clive's sudden interest in a woman as him just trying to repress his sexuality
#i mean that's clearly what the movie wants me to think right
#between showing ripley's trail and making ada's similarity to maurice the first thing in a woman he's attracted to
#his unwillingness to kiss
#i don't think the movie even mentioned him not being attracted to men anymore
#wow
#forster did to gay man + influenza what mary shelley did to corpse + lightning
#ie combined them for the sake of plot convenience to be able to talk about the themes he actually wants to talk about
#lmao
#the book is still very good!!
#it's just a bit of a surprising plot turn for a modern reader
#and here i had this whole theory about how brideshead revisited is kind of like the story of 'maurice' told from clive's perspective
#while maurice is of course gay lady chatterley's lover
#(I haven't actually read lady chatterley's lover yet but there's a definitive connection there right?)
#(two men one representing intelect but impotency while the other represents bodily pleasures)
#(the latter being a gamekeeper)
#smh
#*trial not trail jesus
