We will talk about the happy ending in the novel and the idea of the happy ending, why it was political and correct, and what it came to mean to my generation, I’d argue.
I love Forster and wish he could have lived a more open life. I remember he said this, about Maurice: “A happy ending was imperative. I shouldn't have bothered to write otherwise. I was determined that in fiction anyway two men should fall in love and remain in it for the ever and ever that fiction allows, and in this sense, Maurice and Alec still roam the greenwood.”
