Î agree.

In my opinion it's about protecting your loved one by sending her away. That's the only way of truly salvaging her from your own rotten self of someone that knows too much about this cruel and equally rotten world, it's about wanting to preserve that beautiful naiveness and bliss. But at the end he can't manage to resist her, and "maybe this isn't wrong". He knows what he must do, but falls victim to his sexual drive.
