Chapter 1 Later
At the beginning of the reading, I was concerned about the reading experience for the unusual theme of the book. However, as keeping on reading, I’m glad that apart from few radical plots described the inner feeling of Eliot, I didn’t feel anything uncomfortable about the uncommon relationship between two men.
As the naturally emotion exuding from the Eliot, I haven’t contradicted the unabashed narration, and gradually understand such a relationship. Eliot was so engaged by Oliver that he even had some fierce exaggerating feelings which could be easily distorted as abnormal. However, when I read the parts that Eliot tried so hard to identify the feeling he had, concealing the feeling as a sweet pain secret, and noticed all the meticulous actions he took are just to yield to the requirements of the Oliver, I could virtually understand the selfishness minds of him. Like the relationships between men and women in love, the relationship between Eliot and Oliver is nothing short of the most natural thing in the world. I genuinely accept the banner that “there is virtually no differences between heterosexual and homosexual”.
All the details in the novel could easily seized the heart and lead you to a more immersive experience. “Later” is not only the name of the chapter, but also hints that all the emotions will fade in our eyes and all the connotations they author wants to deliver will reach just later on.
