Sad Love

Many stories written in other years have sense with today’s events. This is the case of the stories “Happy Endings’ by Margaret Atwood and “The story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin. Both stories are related with the love that the characters have, and how they confront it. The sadness in the couple love was a very interesting theme that this two authors use to write this stories. “Happy Endings” use six different life scenarios plus some concluding remarks that the love ends always in the same way. “The Story of an Hour” is about what goes through a person’s head when informed that a close family member has perished a lost love. Both stories have something in common that are the theme that the authors use, couples in love to explain his thoughts. The attitudes that be carried in a couple always are going to have as a consequence the same end in which one of them are going to have a “sad love” -when in a couple exist lovely problems and even they can‘t match with them.

Basically in Margaret’s story she use many options, demonstrating why the live carries the characters to a same end. Using short tales inside the original story she combine the live of some character named John and Mary, finding a different meaning in each one of these. One example of this story was the scenario A, in which the characters had a happy end. We can imagine the great damage that person can make to another being with her alone only for pleasure and nothing more, so B of the story is an example of this. The author continues showing the bad relations of love and things that the other characters, this because she develops to instruct the readers of the love functions on the live, its finishing happy but not the same with the love. Analyzing one of the couple have to die first or make something badly, so the other are going to have sad love feelings as part of the human life.

Similarly, Kate Chopin use a woman called Mrs. Mallard with one only option about a notice that she receive about his husband. We can see the irony of this history looking the emotions that the woman have , when know this about the “only man” that she had. Why the quotations marks, this because in the story say this ; “And yet she had loved him--sometimes”, an evidence that she don’t love him always. This form as she think can be about other personal problems that they have before the false notice give to she about his dead husband. She dies in the end upon seeing that his husband was alive, by the reason that she think from other point of view, she was free. Now we can analyze that at the end, one of the couple are going to be alone and feeling sad love.

Finally, these two histories have so much in common speaking especially of sad love. The two authors utilize couples that have been influenced by the acts of their life. The characters are distinguished by the desire of have a happy end, but always something broke all of their wishes. Some examples are when the man of the Happy Ending story want to have only sex, and not affection of love to she , and in the second history the woman named Mrs. Mallard was the one that supposedly has failed in the story. The love include Emotions, Ethics and Joys, so we have to be prepared to have this experiences in one moment of our life.
