I know people tend to blame Francis for George's tragic ending, but their love goes both ways - the physical infidelity can be seen in both of them, it doesn't matter; The essential difference cannot be approached and hurt each other. My understanding is that their relationship that started with rough trade ended up with neither of them escaping, maybe it's the quote in the movie "once a stone is polished, you can't get it rough again. That's why whores are afraid of cut flowers. That means they are going to die soon.”
