James Mcnaughton I think the author does not want to create a great love and then destroys it. The author uses the love to speak about other. On Chesil Beach is about actual problems and it is not only connected to sixties. The most important problem of the novel is not communication. There is not speech between Florence and her mother, that means in communication between parents and sons, because you are not able to understand the other. Also in communication with friends, because they are not able to advise you. Besides there is not speech between Florence and Edward and it is connected to sex. Edward is a common young that wants to have a sexual approach with his girlfriend. While Florence is shocked by the rape and she feels disgusting about sex. Although she loves him she is not able to have a dialogue about sex and she is not able to have sex. In addition I think their relation ship is not common, because when you love someone partner is not only lover, but also friend, so you want to communicate about yourself. Probably their love is not strong as would be. Besides I am agree with their not accord to save their marriage. Cause because Edward is not able to understand Florence’s refuse. That is because Edward is focused on his sexual satisfaction and on himself.
Another problem is the rape: fear to have sex after a sexual violence is perfectly realistic and normal. These women are afraid and feel ashamed and they do not tell the violence.
Finally I think a young guy should read the novel. |

even if we don't identify ourselves with the two main characters, some aspects and behaviours are common in us.
FLorence's problem with her mother is a real problem of our age, the incomunicabilty with our parent's is common in many guys.
Edward's unabitity to express his feelings is also an actual problem.
even if the characters live in the past, they are not so distant from our problems and we should understand this, reading the novel. |

Characters's problems suit with our problems and behaviours although we dont identify in Edward and Florence.
FLorence's problem with her mother is a real modern problem, incomunicabilty with parents is common in many guys.
Edward's unabitity to express his feelings is also an actual problem.
Although characters live in the past, they are not so far from our problems and we should understand this, reading the novel. |
