monster that doesn’t know that it’s a monster because it’s never seen its own reflection, doesn’t understand why it’s feared. lonely creature only trying to love and be loved but it’s clumsy and doesn’t realize its power, doesn’t know it’s different. why don’t you love me. why are you scared of me. i’m just like you

Watching the cricket scene in Maurice but you’re gay, not British, just bad at sports or any combination of the above (with a healthy dose of cyberbullying Clive). Based on @weepingwolfswood ‘s comment

AIGHT! i know no one’s gonna read this but i’m gonna explain the cricket + significance cos watching this somehow made me miss playing cricket?

1)

that was good! Alec is good at cricket! i think he hit a ‘boundary’, which means he hit it far enough he doesn’t have to run and gets a certain number of runs (points).

2)

that’s the umpire! basically a referee who just determined it’s a boundary and keeps score

3)

in cricket, you score points by running between the stumps after you hit the ball until the fielders get the ball back to the stumps

4)

they did well!! they got runs!! also this screenshot is adorable

5)

they did!!

6)

i think that’s another ‘boundary’? so they don’t have to run

7)

basically Clive is not a good cricket player or team mate because he overestimated his hit and started running, causing Maurice to also start running, but Clive is too much of a wimp to follow through and has to turn back because he doesn’t wanna get out, so Maurice has to too. you are correct, he is a sissy

8)

Maurice now has to get back to his stumps before the fielders get the ball there and get him out

9)

Maurice got out cos Clive is incompetent. bad boy.

right! now the significance of the cricket! in cricket, at any time you have two batters against the whole fielding team, which represents Maurice and Alec against the rest of the world. the batters have to trust each other and rely on each other, which Maurice and Alec do, to their success, which shows that theirs is a healthy, mutually beneficial relationship. although they are of different classes, they are equals on the cricket field and are able to leave the rest of the world behind. Clive, however, is unable to do this as he dismisses Alec and wipes the bat which shows he still holds his prejudices on the field. while Maurice trusts him, he betrays his trust, looking out only for himself and letting Maurice suffer because of it. Maurice and Clive cannot communicate effectively, therefore cannot rely on each other, meaning they fail on the cricket field, as they did in their relationship.

sorry for the word vomit, i hope that helped @satans-classics and @weepingwolfswood !
