Talk:The End of the Affair

message: The section about Jonathan Franzen's opinion is irrelevant at best and idiotic at worst.  Franzen says he's "overrated but perhaps he think's so because it's writing from across the Atlantic."  I suppose Franzen then also considers Shakespeare, George Bernard Shaw, and a countless other writers overrated and partly unintelligible.  Why anyone cares what this hack thinks of better writers is beyond me.  Surely there is a great deal of more insightful criticism of the novel that could take the place of this bit of drivel.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.250.58.37 (talk) 11:39, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

message: I propose the merge of:
:The End of the Affair (1955 film)
& 
:The End of the Affair (opera)
Into:
:This article.
REASON: Not enough information in the individual articles to sustain them on their own. Propose merge until a point and time when there is enough text to break the articles back out. Also propose merger talk end on November 30th of 2007.

thread_title: Discussion > Article MERGE suggestion (October 2007)

message: Admittedly, I have neither read the book nor seen the films based on it. So, this sentence in the plot summary left me confused:
: "After her sudden death from a lung infection brought to a climax by walking on the Common in the rain, several miraculous events occur, advocating for some kind of meaningfulness to Sarah's faith."
It sounds like Sarah has died but then postulates later action occurring because of her faith which implies that she is living (a dead person doesn't have faith as they are no longer alive). So, if this could be written to be clearer whether events actually did occur after Sarah's death (or if she did not die and "her" refers to someone else) and what other cause might have led to these "miraculous events" (if that is even important, I don't know), that would be great. 69.125.134.86 (talk) 22:32, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

message: Was Greene ever sued for libel by the Boltons for his reference to Lady Bolton, or is there some historical basis for this?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 36.11.225.99 (talk) 06:12, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
