so i'm sure im not the only one but does anyone else think that maurice would like meet his family before moving into the greenwood w alec?
like post-boathouse honeymoon gone to his house and packed the stuff he needed and like sat his mother and sisters down and told them that he was going away to start a new life and that he was happy, and leaving all his money behind for them so they'd be comfortable
Now that I've been thinking about this for a while, he might do that, yes. Or, at least, contact them after some time to set things straight, because Maurice is that kind of person. I believe he doesn't like to leave loose strings nor things unsolved.

‘What a solid young citizen he looked - quiet, honourable, prosperous without vulgarity. On such does England rely. Was it conceivable that on Sunday last he had nearly assaulted a boy?’
(…)
He had been brooding in an ill-conditioned way…
( ‘Maurice’, by E. M. Forster)
The bitter irony and sadness of these lines always hit me hard when I listen to Peter Firth’s adaptation of the novel…
These words refer to the ‘Dickie incident’, which was eventually excluded from the film (though of course we can see it in the deleted scenes). Nevertheless, the above picture of James seems an adequate illustration of Maurice’s state of mind at that time.
