hotgirlmickey:The encounter with Alec evokes the Dionysian spirit in Maurice and subverts all the values Maurice has hitherto lived by. If the episodes with Clive have not served to question any fundamental assumptions of society or even of their own lives, the affair with Alec goes far deeper. Their love defies the constraints of heterosexism and shows that love between same sex and different class is possible if not in Cambridge or Penge but in ‘Sherwood,’ which represents the future, the dreams and the ferment of every homosexual in love. Maurice tells us the story of two lovers which shows the possibility of a world where homosexuals could build a new world order, a classless society where men will be bound by personal relations and not social or economic relations.Maisnam Arnapal: The Politics of Sexuality in E.M.
