| 1 | * FailedFutureForecast: When Forster first completed Maurice it had a Epilogue which shows Alec and Maurice still together happily living their lives, however this draft was finished in 1913 before The Great War would destroy the world Forster had created for his characters, so for that reason the Epilogue was deleted from the final version. |
| 2 | * RetroactiveRecognition: Pippa Durham is played by Creator/CatherineRabett, who would later be best known for playing Cissy Meldrum in ''Series/YouRangMLord''. |
| 3 | * ValuesResonance: A sympathetic portrayal of gays may seem commonplace today, but the story was originally written in 1913. |
| 4 | ** Doesn't hurt that Forster was himself a closeted homosexual. |
| 5 | ** And let's not forget that he gave Maurice a ''happy'' romantic ending that didn't involve [[BuryYourGays him or his love interest dying]], something that still isn't quite as common as it should be nowadays. |
| 6 | ** The fact that Maurice thinks of sex as "sharing" is surprisingly modern as well, given that even today sex is viewed as some sort of commodity transaction (particularly with regard to the whole virginity concept) rather than a shared experience. |
