Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,3, University of Regensburg, language: English, abstract: This paper will deal with the covert plot and if it can actually be classified as homosexual or if there is another sense of understanding the clandestine plot. Homosexuality is defined by sexual attraction. The intense passion and affection the male characters feel for each other can also depict a deep form of friendship which every person may have experienced once in their life. Sometimes these profound friendships can be confused with love, resulting in faux feelings which are a figment of the imagination.To argue whether homosexuality is dealt with in the secret plot, the history of homosexuality has to be looked at in the specific time both books have been written and published. The difference for the publications adds up to 37 years - not a short period for history to progress and reshape the minds of the writers and readers. Besides history, faith, especially the Catholic faith, has to be taken into consideration as well. The history of homosexuality will be discussed in the next part of this paper. "A Room with a View" plays in Italy and England; the difference of homosexuality will be shown in both countries in the following section.
