OLIVE KITTERIDGE FYC (FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION)
Overview:
Olive Kitteridge is a compelling character at the heart of this poignant narrative. She is a middle-school math teacher who has dedicated much of her life to education, shaping the minds of young students with a firm yet caring hand. Olive’s career reflects her disciplined and no-nonsense attitude, paired with a deep, often hidden well of compassion.
The Marriage:
At the center of Olive’s story is her marriage with Henry, a relationship that spans over 25 years. Their long-term marriage represents a complex, deeply human partnership full of both challenges and moments of tenderness. Through their years together, Olive and Henry navigate the ups and downs of life — from the strains that come with raising a family and personal struggles, to the quiet, often understated joys of companionship and enduring love.
Character Dynamics and Themes:
Olive’s story is rich with themes of resilience, aging, and the intricacies of human relationships. Her personality — often described as blunt and direct — contrasts with Henry’s more gentle and easygoing nature, creating a dynamic that explores the balance between strength and vulnerability in a marriage. The narrative delves into the emotional landscapes of both characters, revealing the complexity beneath everyday interactions.
Setting and Atmosphere:
Set in a small coastal town in Maine, the backdrop plays a significant role in shaping the characters’ experiences, reflecting the quiet rhythms of life and the natural cycles of change. The setting provides a contemplative atmosphere that mirrors Olive’s introspective journey and highlights the passage of time.
Additional Details:
Olive’s teaching style is known to be rigorous; she expects much from her students but also supports them with a dedication that leaves a lasting impact.
The marriage highlights realistic depictions of middle-aged relationships — including moments of misunderstanding, reconciliation, and the deep bond formed by shared history.
The story addresses broader social themes such as loneliness, mortality, and personal growth, making it not only a personal story but also a reflection on universal human experiences.
Supporting characters include Olive and Henry’s family and community members, who contribute to the mosaic of small-town life and influence the couple’s journey in subtle, meaningful ways.
Significance:
Olive Kitteridge’s story is celebrated for its nuanced portrayal of an ordinary life lived with extraordinary emotional depth. It invites audiences to reflect on the complexities of love, the inevitability of change, and the power of empathy and understanding in long-term relationships.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
