Maurice’s spirit has a man-sized impact on his actually own decision that drives his life in chaos. He wants to have the superiority in relationship, especially with women. Maurice waistband â€Å" I had no idea whatsoever or falling in love with her.For whizz amour, she was beautiful, and beautiful women, especially if they are intelligent also, stir nigh seep feeling of inferiority in my […] and I have always found it hard to feel sexual desire without most sand of superiority, mental or physical. ” (17) . Maurice really shows us he is the man of desire, the desire to possess. When we take a saying at a group of gorillas, there is integrity leader. The white-back-mature gorilla is always the leader of the group which he has the right to mate to all the new(prenominal)s females. Maurice feels superior because he knows that if he could own Sarah, that where he feel the designer of the top male.Maurice feels jealous with heat content who sullenicially gets hook up with to Sarah. When a man has something, he wants to completely possess it. And in this case, Sarah, a woman who delivers love, Maurice is thirsty for it. He is supposed to suck all the love from Sarah like a vampire sucks all the blood from its victim. The more he loves Sarah, the more love he requires her to deliver. Henry is the main wall that stops Sarah from delivering him more love that what causes him to think â€Å" his desire was alone for companionship”. Maurice is a jealous man. green-eyed monster, or so I have always believed, exist only with desire” (31). He totally he his right to be jealous, which is natural. eldest Sarah was married to Henry. He is upset because he does non own Sarah. Second, when the Sarah and Maurice make love occasionally precisely Sarah comes back to Henr y afterward. This situation is irony. Finally, Maurice could hate Henry because â€Å"while he still owned her strawman at the table, the sound of her feet on the stairs […] the court on the cheek. ” (32) , he has nothing. Maurice could be a computable novelist but he is just a human, and creation have flaws.Even though love is one of the to the highest degree important things in Maurice’s life but he cannot take what love has given him. Maurice starts e realthing in pride. He says â€Å" I pulsed love by the extend of my jealousy, and by that standard of course she could not love me at all” (43). He thinks his jealousy is the tool, which he can use to measure individual’s dignity. He was wrong, and he regrets afterward. Maurice admitted â€Å" I’ve been a swelled lover, Sarah” (105). However, at some fate it is not wrong to use jealousy to measure ourselves. As we have cognise Maurice is struggle at love.First, he loves Sara h but he cannot have her. Second, he sees that Sarah is stuck with Henry, by their marriage. That could be one of the wall that crush him to love Sarah without doubt and jealousy. Like what mentioned in Sarah’s journal â€Å" he is jealous of the past and the expose and the future”. The situation looks like Maurice had a bad headache that no medicine could fix. Of course he is one of the devil partners in his love affair, he should have the instinct. Maurice feels that it would be going to be somewhat, he said â€Å" I became aware that our love was ill-omened” (25).Moreover, the aspiration to possess seems obsessed him, Maurice said moodily â€Å" I would fan myself into anger and remorse” and he can’t help changing the situation, he feels helpless â€Å" I was pushing, pushing the only thing that I love out of my life”. ruined possession transforms into hatred and anger. Maurice says â€Å" but if love had to die, I wanted it to die quickly. It was as though our love were a small creature caught in a trap and bleeding to death: I had to chuck out my eye and wring its neck” (25) bitterly.We can exact that whatever Maurice has taken look like the heat, which uses to dig water. All the heat in the vase just wants to onset out. Love turns in to hate. Maurice said â€Å" more than anything in the public I wanted to hurt Sarah” (45). And he even acts like an upset kid behaving with his recall dose; he just wants to stop the game. Maurice mockingly told Sarah â€Å" we had in force(p) time unneurotic, we’re adults, we know it had to end some time. Now, you see, we can meet like friends and talk near Henry” (23). That should have hurt Sarah a lot.He simply revenges the person has given him the disoblige and the headache. When taking about(predicate) Maurice, we cannot omit his obsession of love. Sarah’s love seems neer enough for him. The depression grows awfully, he though t â€Å" and I began quite seriously to think of suicide”. In short, Maurice puts his entire mind toward Sarah. He loves her for two reasons, for her dish aerial and for the superiority in their relationship. However, assuming that his inner realness seems struggle. His deeds keep moving around in a circle of loving and receiving love painfully.Maurice seems a hateful person because his head is full of pain and hatred but deep inside that filthy man there is a very frequent man, a lovable man. Being left layabout by Sarah, Maurice keeps thinking about what she could have make with another man. He becomes a true lover, or he admits himself so. Since the desire to possess Sarah, who carries a love soul and beautiful body, so significant Maurice imaged Sarah with other man â€Å" Sarah making love, Sarah with X, doing the same things that we had done together” (59). Maurice is a doubtful man, he trusts no one and that sorrows him.The best moment is his life is when he realizes he was enlightened by Sarah’s unconditional love. He thought when he read Sarah’s journal â€Å" there’s enough left for our two lives, and I thought of that day when she had packed her bagful and I sat here working, not erudite that happiness was to close, I was glad that I hadn’t known and I was glad that I know. I could act now” (101). That moment is a big change in his mind, it goes from totally doubt to doing whatever to love her unconditionally. It is also the moment that he perceives his biggest misidentify ever, doubting ignoring Sarah’s love.He can be forgiven. When state realize their mistakes, they would either fix them or avow them. Bendrix said â€Å" the slowly growing pain in my upper arm where her weight lay was he greatest pleasure I had ever known” (105). He feels relieved because there is no more jealousy, no more doubt or hatred. At this point he forgives himself. He opens his spirit in order to t ouch what Sarah would offer him. Maurice shows us what his world of love looks like; it is filled with courage to preempt forward for the loved one and with passion to never stop loving. His personalities exist in a very special way.If there were an inner world Maurice would be without hesitation showing off his feeling such(prenominal) as interests or boredom to someone and if there were an outer world he would show off desire to love, to hate. Since there is a part in Maurice exists which always asks for more love, he is sort of lost. He is lost because he doesn’t now a great deal love he needs. I have learned what is true love from Maurice. I can see love sometimes needs a boundary, which divides numerous parts. Where will be my limit to ask for love or where will be the limit the loved ones could offer me. Work Cited Greene, Graham. The End of the Affair. U. S: Penguin books, 2004. Print.\r\n'
