I have read now a few more chapters of “Maurice”. I’m about finishing the novel in fact and I’m asking myself what will happen next and how the story will conclude. This is because I’m totally puzzled by the art of Foster.
One of the things I enjoy more when I’m reading a novel is when the evolution of the story is not predictable but still deeply coherent and believable.
Another thing I appreciate is when by reading a fiction I learn something about the real world.
“Maurice”, in my opinion, shows all this qualities.
I will not reveal anything about the story itself but I can say that this is the story of a boy becoming a mature person. That is, someone who knows who he is, what he wants and, as I suppose, will manage to get it. Maurice is a person who becomes finally able to distinguish himself from the impositions of the society. It’s a novel about individual freedom. He is very European in this way, I shall say…
Till now, I enjoyed the novel very much in spite of language difficulties.
Dear Karmelinda, I agree with you: be the book my friend, the meaning depends only on you. If you don't understand a piece, it doesn't matter, go on !

Hi Chinese Chekkers!
jejeje, finally I enjoyed the book. When I stopped struggling to Forster way of writing I enjoyed it.
I like your way of writing, congratulation !!!
bye
You make me really happy with your appreciation. I remember when I was at the university and I was reading/studying "The Wasteland" by T.S. Eliot. It took me ages to understand what he meant but after the effort I was absolutely proud yet he was an absolutely bumptious and pedantic attitude the one he had. He did not as Forster does in this novel. As you very well say in spite of the difficulties, you learn something from the real world. I bet this exercise was useful for your exam. Well done!!!
