I wrote a review many years ago called "Love loses to desire". It now appears that love is more posture than reality. The more perfect the posture, the more impractical, the purer the love. Desire couldn't be more real.
Milly is a beautiful and perishable illusion, representing love. And Kate is a living woman in the world, knowing what she wants, and seizing every opportunity to get it.
The difference between Kate and Merton is that the former is realization type and the latter is laissez-faire type. You can’t say who doesn’t love enough, it’s just that they do it differently. Kate feels that if you love, you must find a way to be together and find a way to eliminate the embarrassment of poverty and restraint. Although the process is not bright, it is important to achieve results. But Merton is, as long as you love, you can be together, even if you don't have money, you can still be together as long as you want, isn't it? His biggest concession was to cooperate with Kate to approach Milly, the crack caused by his inner disapproval did not need to be confirmed by Milly's death. Two people will never come together.
It is clear to compare it with another example. "The Tragedy on the Nile", the pair of failed murderers, Jacqueline and Simon, is a consistent realization type. The terrible thing is that their opponent is the detective Poirot. Classical dramas always have no mercy on the result.
Putting aside the plot of murder, jumping out of the classical drama, to this day, love without money is just a pale gesture (waiting for the bricks to be photographed). Of course, money does not necessarily have love. Who doesn't want to fall in love with all the consequences when young, squandering youth and libido. Because the older you are, the more careful you are, the more you care about gains and losses, or the more you see, the more indifferent you are.
So now, I don't dare to underestimate a woman like Kate with strong desires. In the play, she loses, but in reality it may not be true.
Who else can win only by love, please tell me.
