Through the complex and morally-charged topic of homosexuality, Murdoch was able to examine morality in general, “Murdoch was exploring in her philosophical writings the relationships among the freedom of choice of the individual and public and private moral concerns, making homosexuality a fitting subject in which she could explore in her fiction these larger moral questions” (Grimshaw). Iris Murdoch’s novel The Bell investigates the moral and religious implications of homosexuality. It's worth putting up with the minor sound issues in order to have the pleasure of this incredible read.This post will investigate Iris Murdoch’s exploration of homosexuality in her novel The Bell as a reflection of English society during the 1950s. The rest of the recording has been cleaned up beautifully. There's other rare distortion, but don't let the relatively minor sound quality issues put you off. It's infrequent and while distracting it doesn't last long. Occasionally the sound will be only from one channel and switch between left and right. Apart from minor issues the sound is good quality. She has the right accent and tone to match this classic. Miriam Gargoyles is the perfect choice to narrate this book. If you've enjoyed Austen, the Brontes and Virginia Woolf you will love Iris Murdoch. I would highly recommend her books to everyone who enjoys great writing. Murdoch's writing is beautiful and a pleasure to listen to. Together they manage to remain blind to the worst of their hypocrisies. The story is at times disturbing as we see characters behaving badly and justifying it to themselves and others. When Dora arrives at the community it appears that hers is the only unhealthy relationship, however that's not quite the case. At this point her husband Paul (a very unpleasant man) is living in a community near Imber Abbey. She then returns to him for the same reason. Dora Greenfield leaves her husband because she is afraid of him.
