Quite the opposite in fact, he’s reveling in being alive. Is he considering suicide? Absolutely not. He’s sad, depressed, and he’s getting ready to kill himself only in the end he doesn’t, but dies of a heart attack instead. In the movie the primary focus of the main character George is grieving his deceased partner, Jim. The movie twists the book in a way that’s stereotypical and gross and plays into the “queer tragedies” trope to highest degree. However, now that I have read the book I’m left feeling very bitter and angry about the movie, in a much larger way than they typical “the book was better than the movie” way. I’d watched the movie sometime ago and I greatly enjoyed it despite how sad it was and thought it was high time I read the book. This is my new number one favorite queer book.
