Overlapping and Suggesting the Mapping of Three Stories

When watching it for the second time, I noticed that the headdresses that Dora & Rory wore when registering their marriage were the same as Celia & the man in the first story, and even the movements were similar. Together with the two people who have been superimposed on the camera before in the kitchen, the scene where the male protagonist hugs the female protagonist from behind. I take it as a hint that the ending of the final story D&R does not have a good ending, at least the honor is lost, the truth is revealed, the condemnation of conscience is redeemed, but the price paid is more painful than before, and it can only be like The man is the same as a quiet life.
Another clue to the story is the connection between words and women. The man said a sentence in the flowerbed: My tragedy was that I loved words more than I loved the woman who inspired me to write them. Compared with R writing, D has no obvious support, but in the publishing of "THE WINDOW TEARS" At the critical moment, R really turned the whole situation around. From this point we go to the last layer of the story, Clayton's feelings for his wife, they are separated but he still wears the ring, Daniella pulls out the picture of his wife C in the book, D rejects C. It can be seen that although there is no obvious trace of C's wife in "THE WORDS", C's life revolves around this woman, and there is no way to let it go. The stories he read are more like his spiritual redemption for his wife, a kind of self-narcotic and consolation.
C said a crucial sentence: you have to choose between life and fiction, the two are very close, but never actually touch.
I don't think the lives of C and D in the story converge, they are two completely different people. Just like what he said.
The three men in the story have three different emotional relationships.
The first layer of men and women is divided into women, and
the second layer of men and women is unknown.
The third time men and women are divided, men seem to live well

, but it is obvious that the three men in the story are more depressed.
Just like this sentence:
YOU TAKE THOSE WORDS, YOU TAKE THE PAIN. In

the end, THINGS ARE JUST THINGS. The end of the story leaves people with a lot of fantasies, no harm, but the scene I remember the most is when the man sees Celia for the last time , After the train started, he waved his hand reflexively, so helpless.

We all make many choices in life, and living with those choices is the hardest lesson in life.
