"The novel ends on the Lido beach where von Aschenbach is watching Tadzio play with his friends. The boy wanders out to sea but turns and finally shares eye contact with the old man, and von Aschenbach dies." -- In Visconti's film the two have plenty of eye contact! I'd note this directly in the article itself but I've not read the story and so might have an entirely wrong perspective, not having read background to the film either. If anyone with more background would like to note this?

This finally is really misleading, as this is really not the first eye-contact throughout the book.—84.179.35.29 19:27, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Novels Split

Rather than trip over each other as appears to be the case with the plot summary, can I propose we have a separate "Novels" article. This would then me primarily about the film, with some minor references to the way it differs from the original novel. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 11:25, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

If there is a split, this article should be about the novella (not a novel), which came first, and Death in Venice (film) should be split off. Pais 19:31, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Okay, now that the film has its own article, we have to work on separating out the novella from the film in this article. Right now they're discussed pretty much together. Pais 23:58, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
