She deliberately follows through with her marriage to Edgar Linton, despite her open proclamations of love for Heathcliff, with whom she grows up and loves irrevocably, only to unceremoniously abandon because of his insufficient societal rank. She knows that Heathcliff feels devastated, yet does not believe that she has been disloyal to him. She is too blind to see past her own momentary desires. As a result of her betrayal, Edgar and Heathcliff are tossed into a downward spiral of competition, jealousy, and heartbreak. Edgar loves Catherine unconditionally, but knows he has been rendered second-best to a man for whom she holds deeper affections.

Firstly, when someone is totally devoted to their love interest it may be hard to turn a conscious eye to their imperfections and faults. She will be under the desired illusion that he is loyal, that he love her and would dismiss slightest suspicion of cheating. Idolizing their partner in their minds for long time would lead to a major breakdown when the veil of deception is lifted thus thought of being cheated on is too heavy and the reduction of self-esteem will cause the woman to be in large circle of uncertainty about her own personage. Furthermore, by returning to her abusive partner she is trying to prove to herself that she is able to keep them and resurrect their old bond, but mostly trying to resurrect her own self-assurance that she is still worthy. Forgiveness can also be a reason to stay, some people have big hearts and are easy to forgive due to kindness but that does not mean they will necessarily forget, the old bond will never be the seem and asking about the partners whereabouts will no longer be a matter of manners only but to assure herself.
Byelinkov is not the type of person to take praise very well while Varinka is willing to give him all he needs.

Beauvoir’s analysis of love is ultimately the comparison of the two genders. Within the differences of the genders authentic and in inauthentic love. De Beauvoir labels her theories on two forms of love. Inauthentic love, she believes that love is used as a liberator, where the woman takes pride in her matters over the one she loves (2010). Her love is inauthentic in the way she loves, due to viewing her lover, being godlike, this is inauthentic in the sense that no man is godlike.
He shows this disrespect when he says “you’ll have to get used to that” This highlights that he doesn’t give her choice/freedom which shows he has authority over Sheila. In contrast with this, he does appear to have genuine feelings for her, “I insist upon being one of the family now. I’ve been trying for long enough” The words ‘family’ and ‘trying’ suggest Gerald has been in a relationship with Sheila for a while now and clearly wants to marry her. Gerald also shows true love towards Sheila as he says, “…and I hope I can make you as happy as you deserve to be’ Gerald obviously wants to make up for his affair with Eva (even though the audience do not yet know about this affair) He seems to treat Sheila with a lot of
Elements of Romantic Comedies Romantic comedies have grown from everyday comedies to include very specific elements that distinguish them from the normal. One of the main elements of romantic comedies is that the idea of love and its shift from the thought that women should love their husbands more than men love their wives, as well as the belief that sex is something that the man should obtain whenever he asks for it because men are the bread-winners of the home. Instead, romantic comedies are based on heroic love, or love that is not focused on servitude. In this type of love, a man falls in love with a woman and serves her in the hopes that he can obtain sex from her. Although sex is still a factor in this situation, the men have to earn it which in the long run makes the man a better more understanding person.
This triangle and the emotions that the male characters feel towards Phuong begins to characterize the way they feel about the country of Vietnam itself. When Fowler states,“I can’t say what made me fall in love with Vietnam,” it brings more conflict into the story because it seems as though he does not know what love he is fighting for. Is he fighting for the love of Phoung? Or is he fighting for the love of Vietnam in which Phuong symbolizes? The romantic love triangle between the three characters arose more conflict when Fowler states,“I should have realised how saving a country and saving a woman would be the same thing to Pyle,” because it shows that Phuong was just like a country in need to Pyle but all she wanted was some security.
