Document Summary
As soon as mary realizes that her longing for ducane is immortal, regardless of whether she expresses her emotions or not, i came to realize that she understood the power of love and could actively engage in loving. Her truthfulness and patience are what make her loving believable, unlike the puerile sentiments between pierce and barbara, dishonesty between. La vie en rose is the perfect slogan for kate, as she void of honesty, and in turn full of childish delusions (one where everyone is frolicking about, with pretty pink bows and glasses of rum). It is kate who reflects that being good is a matter of temperament , which is ironic, because her goodness lies in being nice, which is not true goodness (122). Love is a feeling of great response, great measures, and questions, one where virtue and goodness may be far away as one becomes subject to the whims of pathos.
