The relationship that is created with between Reza and Marjane seems to be a happy one. There are no arguments, nor are there any trust issues. They pass a difficult exam and are ready to plan their future. With all this happening to Marjane, I began to wonder what Marjane is really feeling. Does she actually love him or is she blinded by the presence of someone? Since her previous relationships went down the hill, Marjane seems to be depending on men for support and to feel less lonely. Could it be love? After everything she has gone through, could she be able to love right away after all chaos? Marjane may only need someone to comfort her and be by her side. They are complete opposites, but it does not bother them. Marjane believes he is the one for her.
Love or necessity, Marjane fears rejection. I began to question whether or not Marjane is accustomed to the love life she has confronted. If she is, then she knows she cannot lose one more guy. If she is not, then she is trying something new. Even though this is the author's story she is telling, there are many assumptions that can be brought up because of everything going on. Marjane is a young girl who has lived through suffering and many new experiences. Anything can happen.
I agree with you Michelle; however, I do believe that the love between Marjane and Reza is real. Although it may seem that she is dependent on men, Marjane and Reza has a special relationship. Even after her past relationships and all the chaos, I think that her past relationships helped her realize her true love for Reza. Marjane has seen something special in Reza, which has brought her to find love again. Even by watching the scene where they first saw each other, I could see that they both stood out to one another. Even at the end of the book, I still believe that there will be some sort of love between them no matter the distance. I believe that Marjane loves Reza still, since she put him in the story, and talked about him for awhile. Reza obviously meant a great deal to her since she spent many chapters talking about him.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Michelle. I think that Marji forces love upon herself. In each of her relationships, Marji feels there is something wrong; however, she does not act upon it. She stays in the relationship. I think Marji feels that she needs a man in her life, for her life to have meaning. She does not believe she could live a happy life without a boyfriend or husband. I feel that one of Marji’s main goals in life is to fall in love. By focusing on finding that true love, Marji is not able to live her life fully. In the end, all of Marji’s relationships fail.
