A Analysis of Cecil Vyse Essay

During the last part of the novel A Room With A View by E. M. Forster, what Lucy Honeychurch thought was her love for Cecil, her fiance, in stages changes to vexation as Cecil slowly transforms into her fiasco. As Cecil intrudes upon Lucys fun whether in music or in her recreational activities, and annoys her family and friends, he regulartually agitates her so much that she breaks off their subscribement. Cecil, with his constant infringing upon Lucys pastime games and commands, inevitably appears to Lucy as both a spoilsport and a bother.For example, Lucy becomes red with anger when Cecil prohibits her from playing what she likes and instead commands her to play another piece at which she closes the instrument bulge out of exasperation. In addition, when he refuses to join in the tennis match, Lucy, al entery mad that Cecil fails to realize that it may be an act of kindness for a severe player to make up a quaternityth, concludes that he is actually sneering at her and the other players and thus refuses to answer him when he tries to get her attention.However, Lucy, in a good mood after the game and believing that she loves Cecil, disregards her irritation with him and invites him to scan away only to be further annoyed with Cecil when he does not share her mood and refuses to read while Mr. Emerson is there to entertain them and even goes as far as to call Cecil frivolous. Not only does Cecils curious and snobby manner stop Lucy from having fun, but it also creates problems for the other characters.For example, even though Cecil says that he will not spoil the roachof four, he, in fact, actually does by refusing to play and thus troubles Lucy and the other characters to look for a fourth partner. As a consequence, the characters fall back on Lucy and she is forced to change her frock and to commit the sacrilege of breaking sabbath to compromise for Cecil. In addition, Cecil distracts Lucy by reading aloud a bad novel during the mens four tenni s match and causing her to miss her stroke, Lucy, so irritated that Cecil had mishandle her fun, actually calls him a nuisance. after, Cecil imposes himself upon Freddy and Floyd by insisting that they must listen to him read aloud from his bad novel and annoys them so much that they would rather put up him to hunt for a lost ball than to rest and listen to his drivel.Later that Sunday night of the tennis game, all of Cecils egocentric and patronizingly patriarchal actions finally push Lucy to end their engagement. For example, Lucy finally sees how abominably inconsiderate Cecil is after he refuses Freddys invitation to play once again, seeing that although he could play well enough to make up a set of four, he still decides to deny Freddy the game by declining once again.In addition, Lucy at last notices that Cecil is incapable of knowing anyone intimately as he everlastingly protected her under the assumption that Lucy didnt know what was ladylike and right and neer bothere d to see that she can evidently choose for herself. Finally, Lucy, furious that Cecil tries to croak and wrap her up in art and books and music like himself and restrict her freedom, decides at last that she cannot behave as his wife and breaks off their engagement.Thus, as Cecil spoils the mood by never participating in anything Lucys family and friends engage in, by creating trouble for them, and by restricting Lucys thoughts and actions, he necessarily sets himself up to Lucy as a poor sport. Lucy, in turn, interprets Cecils dreamy attitude as the symbol of his whole being and as a result becomes increasingly exasperated with Cecil over time and ultimately terminates their relationship.
