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

  • Aurora, the novelist: Let me tell you something. Last year I wanted to test my charms on very young boys. The young generation is a complete unknown to me. Incomprehensible. A total mystery. I settled on the number five in one week.

    Jerome: Five!

    Aurora, the novelist: Actually, I had three. Very handsome, all of them.

    Jerome: Did you enjoy it, apart from the glory of conquest?

    Aurora, the novelist: It was very nice. I could have gone on. But since it was a matter of ego, and ego is quickly satisfied, at least, in this area, I prefer to wait. I know how to wait. Waiting is pleasant in and of itself.

  • Aurora, the novelist: She disturbs you? How? Her body?

    Jerome: Yes, the way she looks, since it's all I know about her. We've hardly ever spoken. I find it quite difficult to talk to her.

    Aurora, the novelist: Well, well. She intimidates you.

    Jerome: I feel absolutely powerless around girls like that.
