Week 1 Question 1

In the story “What we talk about when we talk about love,” American author Raymond Carver portrait the life of two couples that discuss the topic of “real love.” Both couples discuss about the different kinds of love experienced in their life. We can barely see romantic love in this reading. In fact, Mel who is one of the main personages believes that “real love was nothing less than spiritual love.” This text suggests that romantic love may not be the goal for a solid marriage. Instead, communication and security between couples is the key for a successful and happy marriage. Laura and Nick did not show any romantic love signs but they were happy and together until the end of the reading.
