Doubtful. Most people will be at peace if they have experienced love and have loved. This gives meaning and satisfaction to a person’s life – especially when one is on “death’s door.” In the short story, “The Painted Door” by Sinclair Ross, Ann and John possess vastly different perceptions about what will bring them happiness; not addressing this lack of unity creates distance and tension between them, which greatly compromises their happiness. Ann pursues happiness by trying to talk to John about her concerns, busying herself around the house, fantasizing about Steven and social events. She tells John, “It isn’t right to leave me here alone.
In this story a girl named Jesse is used to living alone but one day her uncle and cousins move in but she likes living alone. I choose this theme because even though things are changing in Jesse’s life, she doesn't need to change how she feels about it all. For example in line 43 Rene, Jesse’s cousin, asks Jesse how she feels about everyone moving in. Jesse responds by saying, “Rene, I’ve spent a lot of days, nights, too, wishin’ that things weren’t the way they are. But yeah.
Matt now has a son, a good wife, and an ordinary life; he still has a good family life without going to university. In contrast with Kate, although she has good education and job, she doesn’t have her own family and in fact, she says, “I had never thought I would really love anyone.” (89) From another perspective, she seems to be the one that is going to have a sad life. Similar with Luke, when he rejects Sally it is due to his responsibility as a caregiver. He is happy with his decision since it is for his family. If Matt chooses to go to university instead and leaves Marie, he will most likely lose his happiness and truly be an emotionless “nerd” and suffers like Kate who does not truly knows the meaning of love.

Even though there is a lot of trash-talking going on at the tea party, it is very proper, because even Scout is dressed lady-like. Scout just wants to sit there and be quiet so that she won’t say anything wrong. Then, Maudie says that Atticus’ food doesn’t stick while it’s going down. By that she means that his conscience is clear. “’Maudie, I’m sure I don’t know what you mean,’ said Mrs. Merriweather.
Lucy decides as her friends are reaching puberty that because she will never look like them she will never be loved “in that way” (150). Sadly, Lucy longs for physical beauty because “ When I tried to imagine being beautiful, I could only imagine living without the perpetual fear of being alone, without the great burden of isolation, which is what being ugly felt like,” (177). Beauty will bring her happiness and the confidence to have relationships. Instead of seeing that she could have this through her inner beauty Lucy decides that she can start living once she has fixed her face. Until then, life is on
The birds movement are very limited which is similar to Edna because they are women and society says that it’s unnecessary for them to be running around doing whatever they want when they should be home with the kids. In the novel, they say that the “winged” women are suppose to protect and use it as their shield but never to fly which means to be set loose and be free to go and do whatever they please. The sea is the second major symbol that is represented in this novel. It portrays the freedom and escape that Edna so long desires. Edna is scared to branch out because she doesn’t know if it’s the right thing to do or if it’s the complete opposite.
