my main character is in romantic relations with families host student, oliver. i think its a mix of positive and negative growth

my main character, elio has the name of an italian and spanish form of Alieus, meaning "sun". its also the italian form of Helios which is also "sun"

elio is the protagonist in the book. the author uses indirect characterization to contrast elios intellectual maturity with his emotional youthfulness
