* InspirationNod: On the beach, Marie reads ''Le Lys dans la vallée'' by Creator/HonoreDeBalzac. In this novel, there is a LoveTriangle between a young guy (Félix de Vandenesse) and two ladies (Madame de Mortsauf and Lady Dudley). Vandenesse has had a platonic relationship with Mortsauf for years, then he goes to Paris, where he meets Dudley and has sex with her. Finally, he breaks up with Dudley for the sake of his platonic love with Mortsauf, who is dying. This mirrors the love triangle between Marie, Jean and Vincent. Like Vandenesse in the novel, Marie favours a platonic relationship (with the image of her late husband) over a carnal one (with Vincent).
