Marianne going from doing whatever she could to make Connell happy to encouraging Connell to go to New York but refusing to go with him for her own happiness.
Coming-of-age story is never only about from being a kid to an adult. It’s about what we find in ourselves in relation to the external world, and we keep looking for the inner peace at different stages of our life.
I need Normal People fanfics already for self-indulgence but S1 itself is a complete existence for both Connell and Marianne.
