![]() ![]() Soon after, Melanie's boyfriend pays the professor a visit and events begin to snowball. She misses the mid-term the next day and arrives at his house sobbing that night needing a place to stay. She does not resist and asks him to leave after he is finished because her cousin is coming. The very next afternoon Lurie arrives at Melanie's flat, pushes himself in and carries her to the bed. The next class is awkward, and later that night Lurie spies on her while she is rehearsing for a play. Young Melanie is passive throughout the majority of the act but Lurie on the other hand attains sensory overload and falls asleep on top of her. ![]() They return to his house and have sex on the living room floor. Startled at his call, Melanie agrees to have lunch with him. Over the weekend, he travels to campus and uses the University's records to find her address and phone number. Lurie does not stop his pursuits there however. That very same night, Melanie is almost caught in Lurie's web of seduction until he quotes a cliché Shakespeare line, and she quickly leaves. Lurie first notices Melanie in the university gardens and invites her to his home for wine and dinner. After Lurie crosses the line by phoning Soraya at her home, he turns to one of his students to fulfill his desires. He has been twice divorced, has one child, and currently spends ninety minutes of his Thursday afternoons with a prostitute named Soraya. David Lurie is a Communications professor at Cape Town Technical University. ![]()
