| I think that love is not something that you can play with. Marriage is a big step in two peoples lives,that is life changing too. The girl discovers that she has a brain tumor, so she is probably scared beyond belief with mixed emotions in her head. She is probably thinking about her mother, and her boyfriend, and is worried she wont make it through surgery to live. I think that the man did a good thing saying he will marry her, because it will make the girlfriend want to keep her hopes up about the surgery, and only want to be more stronger to stay alive. But i don't think its right for him to still marry her, if he in fact doesn't love her anymore. Even if she is blind, or ugly, and is hunchbacked; it shouldn't matter because love should come from the inside of the heart. Just because she is blind doesnt mean she cant still love like she once had before the surgery. I don't think he should keep his promise, if he doesnt love her anymore. You should never go out with someone, or even marry someone if its just for pity or to make them feel good. Love is not a game to play with the heart. Its too strong to destroy it that easily if it is real. The boyfriend doesnt deserve to recieve someones love if he will not promise to love the person in return. | ||||||
