I
have just come to an end of my book, Fallen
in Love by Lauren Kate. It is about four Valentine’s Day love stories. They
are unexpected, unrequited, forbidden, and eternal. Each couple has their own
story, some of them end badly and some do not end at all. These four love
stories intersect on the night of Valentine’s Day in medieval England. Four couples
have different kinds of love in this book. I think one theme of this book is
love because it is a strong emotions being shown throughout the book.
The
book starts off with the story of Miles and Shelby. They found love where they
least expected it, within themselves. At first they are looking for Luce, but
then they soon started to get to know each other. Miles and Shelby were good
friends, but they did not know that they would fall in love. Shelby always
thought that Miles was just a guy that always was by himself and have no
friends, but then she found out he was tough and helped others. Miles thought
that Luce was the love of his life, but then she broke his heart by going to
another guy. He thought that Shelby was just a girl that never wanted any commitment,
but soon he found out that it was the opposite. They slowly start to fall in
love on Valentine’s Day. This love is unexpected from Shelby and Miles.
In
the next love story there is heartache. Roland learns a painful lesson of
losing and finding love. In medieval times he had a love of his life that he
lost because she did not love him back. He never forgot about how she broke his
heart. Roland visited Rosaline and found out that she was with another man with
one child on the way and one already born. Rosaline’s husband had to leave for
battle, but Roland stopped him because he did not want Rosaline’s husband to be
the same as him. The love here is unrequited love because Roland did not want
Rosaline to be sad.
The
forbidden love story was the story of Arriane. She pays the price of a love
that is so fierce it burns. She love Tess, but Tess is on the other team. Tess
is on the team of the devil and Arriane is on the team of the angels. They want
to be together, but cannot because if they are, they would never be able to
enjoy themselves. Someone will always be watching over them because it is
forbidden of them to be together. It is really rare to even have a whole day
together. The love in this story has a horrible ending. Tess commits suicide
because she cannot live without Arriane. This is what forbidden love can do to
a person.
In
the last Valentine’s Day story, there is everlasting love. The love is between
Luce and Daniel. They spend a night together like no other they have spent
together. Their love lasts for eternity because of Luce’s curse that makes her
die when she kisses Daniel and then makes her into another living person. In
every life, she finds Daniel and has the same name. Daniel and Luce have a love
that can never die. It is the best love, but every time Luce dies Daniel is
heartbroken because he wants to break the curse. I think that the love in this
story is the worst love because it can be a bad thing if the person you love
dies because of you.
In
conclusion, love is the theme of Fallen
in Love by Lauren Kate. Love can be really complicated or it can be easy.
Love can be unexpected like Miles and Shelby. Or it can be painful and
unrequited like Roland’s story. Love can also be forbidden to some people
because of unexplainable reasons. Last of all love can be eternal, but that cannot
always be a good thing.
