One temptation, two longings for love

Kurt 2022-11-11 16:50:52

Most of adults' experience of love is on the edge of temptation and wandering, so they are more cautious and suspicious. The girl/teenager's understanding of love is more direct and simple. The writer Aurora uses a friend of the opposite sex she meets by chance to test a girl. This is an immoral game in itself. The writer's professional ethics lies in observation and questioning, rather than direct intervention in reality. "Guinea Pig" Jerome is about to get married, and a trip to France is almost the last assumption of love before marriage. The girl Laura follows her own feelings, accepts Jerome's temptation, and at the same time changes her mind while observing. The young girl, Klaa, became Jerome's desire guide by showing her knees inadvertently. The touch in the cabin in the rain is an island of desire, because in the end Jerome explained to Aurora, "I think that It was an expression of desire, but she regarded it as an act of comfort. ' A girl's lust is to talk and listen, while an adult man's lust is more stroking than kissing. Thus, Rohmer's island of love/desire gradually formed. However, in the end, even Rohmer had to end the game. This is the understanding of love/eroticism at different stages of life.

Claire's Knee quotes

  • Laura: I was born to be unhappy. But no, I won't be unhappy. I'm very happy. I only think of positive things. People are unhappy because they want to be. When I feel down, I think about how there are happy times and that crying does no good anyway. I think about how marvelous it is to be here and how much fun I'm going to have.

    Jerome: What do you call having fun?

    Laura: Having fun is being alive. For instance, today I'm very happy. Tomorrow I may be sad. So then I make myself think of something else. I concentrate on one specific thing and how fantastic it is, and I'm happy for the rest of the day.

  • Aurora, the novelist: I find all men attractive. That's why I can't pick one. Why one and not another? I need a reason to choose one specific man. Since I can't have them all, I prefer to do without any.
