My Years of Confusion and "On Chesil Beach"

A college classmate of mine went through a ten-year love marathon with his childhood sweetheart. When they graduated, they quickly got their licenses, and then quickly changed their licenses.

Later, the brother gave up all job fairs and interviews and opened a small shop selling music CDs near the school.

I went there a few times at first. We get together occasionally. However, because they each embarked on a different life path, it has been another ten years, and the former friends are now just contacts across the circle of friends.

In the past ten years, his disc shop has been tossed and turned several times, but it has always been in business.

Most of the classmates left the company they graduated from, or changed their careers for unknown times.

Only he has always managed the business of selling discs.

All along, I have had a lot of speculation about his obsession with the disc shop.

It may be a love of music, or contentment in a familiar corner.

After watching "On Chesil Beach", my years of confusion have been answered.

It turns out that men who have been hurt by love are more likely to choose to sell CDs.

On Chesil Beach quotes

  • Florence Ponting: You know I love you.

    Edward Mayhew: Still!

    Florence Ponting: I want to spend my life with you. And you feel the same. We love each other and we can set each other free. Edward, it must be obvious to you by now that I'm...

    Edward Mayhew: Florence, what is it?

    Florence Ponting: That I'm pretty hopeless. No, I'm absolutely hopeless at sex. I'm no good at it. I don't seem to need it like other people, like you do. I might change, but I can't imagine it. If I don't say this now, we'll always be struggling with it. It's going to cause you a lot of unhappiness and me too.

  • Florence Ponting: We can live by our own rules too, Edward. I can say this because I know you love me. We don't have to be like everyone else. We could live together and... and so... and no one would know what we did or didn't do. We'd be together and if you wanted, really wanted, that's to say, whenever it happened, and of course, it would happen, I'd understand. More than that, I'd want it because I want you to be happy, and free. I'd never be jealous as long as I knew that you loved me.
