- On Chesil Beach
- The Era and its effects on the relationship
- 1962-just before the sexual revolution
- Florence- very traditional yet more reserved than that of the norm- sex after marriage
- Edward- before his time concerning sex, traditional yet is not reserved as Florence is
- Novella- used to present the lack of honesty
- Omnipresent narrator- can see both sides of Florence and Edwards relationship
- Dramatic irony- we know of their feelings yet they do not
- Lack of communication- Family Love
- Lack of Communication
- Link to Family Love
- Edward- Mother- pretending everything is normal even though she is damaged
- Florence- Father- Implied abuse, embarrassment and self hatred, secretive
- Could be suggested they are using each other to replace the love they did not receive
- They are letting their happiness be 'tarnished' due to their secrets- dramatic irony with omnipresent narrator
- Link to Family Love
- The Symbolic setting
- Phallic imagery surrounding them, they cannot escape
- Pure and untarnished sheets- links to the virginity
- Pathetic fallacy- thunder and waves- insinuating the nature of their relationship
- The Era and its effects on the relationship
