Maurice/YMMV


 * Values Resonance: A sympathetic portrayal of gays may seem commonplace today, but the story was originally written in 1913.
 * Doesn't hurt that Forster was himself a closeted homosexual.
 * And let's not forget that he gave Maurice a happy romantic ending that didn't involve him or his love interest dying, something that still isn't quite as common as it should be nowadays.
