At the end of the novel, Lucy decides to break off her engagement with Cecil. Nevertheless, it takes her quite some time before she admits to herself that she is in love with George Emerson, thus leads them eloping. If I am Lucy, I do not think I have the courage to leave my family and marry someone like George because I need my parents and sisters’ approval before getting married. It is already hard enough to date someone my parents disapprove; therefore, marriage is out of the question. I pity Lucy because when passion burns out and problems start to arise between George and her, she has no one to lean on or console her. In situations like this where passion controls the characters’ lives, it makes me recall the tragic death of Romeo and Juliet, where passionate love does not lead to a happy ever after life.
