love vs duty, freedom and restraint. Etiquette is the barrier, class conventions of society and expected behavior

the view is living a life that is unrestrained from the conventions of society. Forster is encouraging readers to break away from the norm.

people act as a barrier written in the 16th century, Thomas Wyatt embodies the courtly lover. loving an unattainable woman, male perspective, powerless male.

Shakespeare is saying there is no barrier to love, if love is true then it can get over any barrier. woman did not have any choice over who they married.

chapter 1- when Charlotte is against Lucy speaking to the Emerson's, they are of a lower class, and its etiquette for a young woman to not be associated with them.

chapter 6- Georges kiss with Lucy, challenging etiquette with natural imagery, Charlotte acts as a barrier.

chapter 4- George crosses a boundary (fountain) when the murder happens. Lucy is her own barrier when she reacts to George, she tries to run away from him and follow whats expected of her.

5- the driver and his lover are separated by Mr Eager. he acts as a barrier to love.

chapters- structure of the novel, setting- Italy or England,characters- Cecil, Lucy to herself, Charlotte, Mrs honey church, Mr Beebe, Mr eager, narrative structure - omniscient narrator, third person limited

structure of poem, extended metaphor of hunt, metaphor of net, personal feel from the first person, octave and sestet.

metaphors- key images, show love is enduring, structure makes same point 3 times then concludes.

Victorian mindset- Forster associates them as restrictive, Edwardian- radical, challenges victorian

novel is seen as modernist, Lucy is crossing boundaries and having control over her own life.

influenced by courtly love, renaissance, Ann Boleyn is his lover.

women had no choice over marriage, pure love can be seen as luxury.

pursuit of the unattainable woman, to George Lucy is unattainable, he is a lower class, pain and suffering of a courtly lover link speaker pain to George suffering after he gets rejected. compare how George gets Lucy and the speaker doesn't get the deer.

contrast Shakespeare women to Lucy, she has choice, Shakespeare makes true love seem a luxury, link with Mr Emerson and Lucy convo Shakespeare form is typical but ideas are radical

collar symbolises wealth and she is a possession- courtly love
