8/31/2023 0 Comments Me before you series book 4The reason why this bothered me so much is because Moyes had a golden opportunity to briefly demonstrate that women still have the option to say “no” even in a relationship, even if it’s with your boyfriend. Throughout the whole movie, Patrick was perceived as this sweet, slightly-obsessed-with-exercising-but-still-a-devoted-boyfriend kind of guy, when in reality, he sexually assaulted Louisa as soon as he felt like she was slipping away from his emotional hold. This left-out information was what caused me to connect more with Louisa, made her seem more like a hero.Īnother thing that did not transfer into the movie, was how much of an jerk Patrick really was. In the book, I felt a deep sympathy for a traumatized woman fighting off her demons as she battles to overcome them, while still earning enough to support her family. In the movie, the audience simply saw a woman working hard to support her family. The subplots of her sexual assaults were important in order to understand Louisa better. This was one of the reasons why I understood Louisa’s decision to work at a job she’s not qualified to do for me, her clumsiness towards Will’s care was almost forgivable, since she was trying to overcome the trauma she endured on those castle’s grounds. Knowing this, I felt a strong compassion and sympathy for her. Here’s a woman trying to support her family, since her father is unemployed and her sister’s too selfish to get a better paying job, and she’s strong enough to live every day with the memory of her sexual assault without any outside help. The first time I read this whole passage, I was crying right along with Lou. Will eventually found her, and gently soothed her as he showed her the way out of the maze. As she tried to find her way out, she had a nervous breakdown. In the book, Will was showing Louisa his family’s castle, and encouraged her to go into the maze, not knowing Louisa was traumatized in it. Louisa Clark was sexually assaulted as a child in a maze on the castle’s ground which was not depicted in the movie and that disappointed me because I felt it was essential to understand Louisa as the person she is. The same innocence was portrayed in the movie, but it wasn’t as endearing since four very important details were exclusively bypassed: While I do admit that Louisa, our heroine, drove me crazy with her constant babble and clumsiness in the book, her wit and innocent view of her world caused me to warm up to her. Instead of trying to see the pain embedded in his very existence, Louisa marched off further away, leaving wheelchaired Will to fend for himself.īeing a romance/drama fanatic, I had already read the book written by Jojo Moyes. Her beautiful, tear-stained face looked hopelessly upon Will the sea behind her-its waves rushing onto the beach-as he tells her that “nothing would have changed mind,” but the last few months he had to live were filled with joy … thanks to Louisa. As Louisa Clark (Emilia Clarke) scurries away from William Traynor-played by the yummy Sam Claflin-while accusing him of being selfish as he chooses to die rather than live happily with her, caused me to wonder if she was the one being selfish.
