Being Maurice

Clive should not be blamed. The rules and responsibilities of this world imprison our dreams. I think it is not that Clive is unwilling to pursue his own happiness, but that he cannot.
He compromised his life, but not his heart, so he still left himself a spiritual pure land to mourn his Maurice. Just still have to face the bleak life outside the window.
From another perspective, it's his choice. If you are not brave enough, how can you be worthy of your dreams, so you can only leave such a hidden hatred.
I have left you, and I will spend the rest of my life half asleep.

Maurice on the contrary has a brave heart.
He is confused, struggling and suffering, but he is getting to know himself more and more. He is uncompromising. In his persistent exploration, he is loyal to his heart and becomes his true self. How precious, but it is like an incredible fairy tale.
However, when you understand that the author is EM Foster, and that this novel is his heart song, you will understand.
It was as ideal as fiction, because it was his ideal, and he worked so hard for it.
That alone is admirable.
I guess till the end of his day, he shall say with peace, I live my whole life awake being who I am.
