Both The Notebook and Splendor In the Glass tell the passionate tale of young, intense love. In both films, the lovers face the obstacle of class conflict. In The Notebook, Allie faces the extreme difference between her rich, southern lifestyle and Noah’s destitute life at the lumberyard. Similarly, Bud faces the difference between the esteemed lifestyle his father has built and is determined to maintain and the lifestyle Bud wants for himself and Deanie.
