e.m. forster, on maurice: “a happy ending was imperative”

me and maurice really went through that breakup together cause sometimes i remember how clive opened maurice's fucking world to love and then abandoned him and i get so upset but then i look at this picture of him and alec from the movie and all is well in the world

and THIS moment, when he comes across her and is so concerned, and he caresses her arm

One of my favorite things about Pride and Prejudice is the Bennet family’s complete cluelessness about Darcy and Elizabeth. Like, if this were a tv show about the Bennets, Darcy and Elizabeth are like, the D storyline. The whole family is trying to get Jane and Bingley together, the regiment is stationed in Meryton, Mr. Collins is taking the house, Lydia and Wickham are obviously the climax, these people have a lot going on. And then, once the regiment has left and Jane and Lydia and Mr. Collins are married and everything seems resolved: plot twist! They’ve got random nobility at the door in the middle of the night telling the know-it-all sister who has been home on and off through the year not to marry the rando rich guy they all hate simply because they’re family and loyal to each other damnit and he called the know-it-all sister ugly once.
