    numbers and language like "weight" help him not only calm himself down‚ but convince the readers that he’s in control of his own situation. On the other hand‚ Joe seems to go off into panicked monologues such as the one at the top of page 47. Here‚ McEwan uses short sentences‚ but the meaning and effect created is completely different. They create a sense of panic and turbulence. The sentences increase the pace of the reading‚ and seem to be erratic and uncorrelated‚ representing Joe’s thoughts.

This is evident when we read Briony’s alternate ending where Cecilia and Robbie live happily ever after versus the alternative ending in which Cecilia and Robbie never get to fulfill their true love and spend the rest of their lives together. When you expect a story to end one way and it ends another it really brings you to think about why things happen the way they do‚ consider the events that ultimately led to the final outcomes. The ending

I remember being around 5 years old and would love to run through the living room through what seemed to be the longest hallway with wood floors to the front door. Usually the door would be open and the

Ian McEwen wrote ‘Enduring Love’ in the late 1990’s‚ based mainly on a couple that are deeply in love‚ Joe and Clarissa. Joe and Clarissa have been
