Mary Renault: Difference between revisions

* [[Translator Buddy]]: Laurie for Charlot in ''The Charioteer''.

* [[Transparent Closet]]: ''The Charioteer'''s hero Laurie realises his beloved Andrew is gay. Andrew, nineteen, Christian and rigidly principled, doesn't.

* [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]]: In ''The Charioteer'', Laurie is in love with Andrew, who is in love with him back, but doesn't realise it. Lots of UST. There is plenty between Ralph and Laurie as well.

* [[Virgin Power]]: Hippolytos in ''The Bull from the Sea''. Renault's Alexander also feels that "virtue has gone out of him" when he has sex. Alexias and Lysis in ''The Last of the Wine'' have sex with women on the side, but they feel that their relationship is purer and more spiritual and virtuous if they refrain from having sex with one another.
