For Charles and Sebastian it’s about the creation of a new world when they’re together.
#it’s not romance. but it is closer to romance than even a lot of people’s romances#because it does just take the two of them to create a new world to live in#or maybe not even create. but find the door to#the door in the wall#and it’s a way of experiencing the world that is protected from the outside#and in Sebastian’s case in particular protecting him from his family#but there isn’t any way to STAY in that world forever#you only get it for a short amount of time and then you have to learn how to integrate with society#hopefully bringing with you the best of that world#or the best parts of its vision!#it’s interesting because Charles sort of re-enacts the same thing with julia#they too withdraw from the world. and it IS beautiful and also it can’t last#it’s broken long before it’s broken#anyway I am just rambling. and reflecting#it’s amazing how quickly Charles can’t protect or even much help Sebastian from inside the circle#once the extent of Sebastian’s problems is felt#there ISN’t anything he can do#and you feel it!#brideshead revisited#anyway lady marchmain meet me in the pit etc.
