Todd Haynes' 2015 film Carol is adapts an iconic work of queer literature. But how much of Patricia Highsmith's novel does the movie faithfully adapt?
Based on the 1952 literary classic The Price of Salt by Patricia Highsmith, Todd Haynes’ 2015 romantic drama Carol was a critical darling, even if it made some changes to the source material. With Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara leading the cast, Carol revolved around a forbidden love affair between Therese Belivet , an aspiring photographer, and Carol Aird , an older woman trapped in a troubled marriage.
In the early chapters, Therese tries her best to stray away from conversations about her past. As she tells Carol in the novel, “What could be duller than past history! Maybe futures that won’t have any history." Carol also quizzes Therese about her mother’s physical appearance. Therese adds that she used to have dark hair, a stark contrast from Carol’s blonde hair.
5 Therese Is Sexually Active With Richard In The Book Therese admits that she hasn’t “gone all the way” with Richard, implying that she probably had no sexual relations with any man at all. In The Price of Salt, Therese and Richard have been sexually active three times even though she hardly harbors any pleasure towards him. Highsmith’s inclusion of this detail is significant in establishing Therese’s sexual repulsion from Richard .
