Love: A Complex Exploration
Introduction
Love songs are everywhere, but can anyone truly define love, the force people claim makes the world go round? It's easy to recognize when you're in love?"the heart races, and you might act irrationally. However, determining if you truly love someone is much more challenging.Delving into Harry Jenkins' Mind
Enter the world of Harry Jenkins, on the brink of an intimate moment with Natasha. He chuckles at his own thoughts as he slips under the covers. Who would question the joys of passion with logic? Attempting to analyze love and desire seems absurd.Yet, like a fool, I'm drawn to seek a definition. Perhaps it's the lawyer in me. Carl Jung, the Swiss psychiatrist, offers a sobering perspective on love. Each of us has an animus (if female) or anima (if male)?"an idealized image of the person we love. When in love, we project this ideal onto someone who naturally has their own identity. As the honeymoon fades, small cracks in this image appear, explaining perhaps the high divorce rate. When reality clashes with our ideal, what then?
Exploring Love Beyond Romance
These reflections led me to explore diverse perceptions of love in "Final Paradox," the second book in The Osgoode Trilogy. This series features Harry Jenkins, a lawyer entangled in murder and fraud plots. He's captivated by the alluring Natasha. His estranged father, who abandoned him, seeks forgiveness?"a sentiment Harry can't find in himself. Natasha probes him about the nature of love."What do you think love is?" she asks.
He shrugs. "I don’t know. It’s about wanting someone in your life, always with you." Looking into her eyes, he adds, "Why? What do you think?"
"I think it’s about stepping outside yourself and seeing another's life from their perspective. That's a start," Natasha replies.
Harry recalls his father's words: "It’s all about you, isn’t it?" Would he always be just a child in his father's eyes?
Different Perspectives on Love
Norma Dinnick, Harry's elderly client, navigates her way between clarity and confusion, reflecting on her varied emotions for different men. Returning to her hotel, she attempts to understand. Affection and care from her husband Arthur shielded her from emptiness. Yet, love, as David described, eluded her. Emotions provided a sense of power. Lust towards George left her weak and vulnerable.Similarly, Bronwyn, another character, struggles with love. Bitter and married to a gay man, she knew their unspoken bargain: money and security over love. On her honeymoon, she realizes the costly sacrifice.
Harry's Realization
Ultimately, Harry begins to grasp the essence of love. In bed with Natasha, he transcends himself, fueled by a desire to understand her inner world. Her presence inspires him to explore her dreams and mysteries, promising to never leave. The sheer wonder of their intimacy slows his breathing in unison with hers. As his hand tenderly smooths the sheet, he fears waking from a dream. The past weeks' turbulent events now seem to converge into a peaceful clarity?"a silken web of meaning enveloping him.Reprinted from "Final Paradox" by Mary E. Martin with permission.
