#but merely that his own fears got in his way and between Maurice and him
Text
maturing is realising Clive Durham is not a villain in Maurice's story but merely his own
#what I mean is that in the long run he knew Maurice and he wouldn't fit together#that him 'turning straight' was not something he did out of disgust or boredom with Maurice#or some sudden miracle change of mentality as he puts it himself#but merely that his own fears got in his way and between Maurice and him#and that Maurice had to be set free from that even though he also got good things out of his relationship with Clive#if anything Clive is the biggest victim in this story because the happy ending he has to settle with is convincing himself he's 'normal'#while he knows he could have had real love#(also another victim especially in the movie is Lord Risley omg. give that man a happy ending too please!!!!!!)#Maurice and Clive could and should have been endgame if Clive had been able to overcome fear but he couldn't#so just like any other relationship Maurice got a chance to move on and did#and found someone that fit and felt better with him#Clive remains (for as far as we know) stuck in the situation he chose and created for himself and I feel sorry for him#maurice em forster#clive durham#literature#maurice hall#lord risley
