Title: "What We Talk When We Talk About Love"
The story connects the essential value of "true love" by showing all kinds of it through spiritual, sensual, idealistic, possessive, brutal, obsessive, and even having unreturn love. The concept of romantic love is greatly felt in the story as a powerful feeling that provides a deep ecstasy and a deep suffering when frustrated. In the story, Mel and Terri connected love with time as has occurred in our modern culture. The two couples in the story tells love as the contemporary world they live in which is a world of continuous relationship where you first feel love and next thing you know is that your relation will eventually lead to courtroom adversary. In addition, romantic love is deceiving for Mel's monologue while he was drunk in the story. However, I do believe that romantic love does not deceive consistently in our everyday existence in this world. It is a matter of how people must treat romantic love to be able to have a successful marriage. Romantic love should be treated as a sacred treasure of all that whatever effort or risk you put into it, will eventually be well rewarded.
The theme of the story "What We Talk When We Talk About Love" expresses bewilderment about a whimsical and battered condition of romantic love in the modern world that we live in. In the story, Mel and Terri has a different view on what is a real love by basing it from their past relationship. In this case, their insights somehow differ.
The story moved me and made me think of what romantic love is. Somehow the characters in the story does have a point about love. Love is not perfect for any people in a relationship and people does have different views with regards to love. In addition, Mel in the story does show a different perspective on what is love for him. In this case, we can only know what romantic love is if we know how to treat it correctly and that is why we should treat romantic love as a sacred treasure of all so that it will lead to a rewarding relationship.
