In fact, love has nothing to do with war

Is love and war related?
The war just provided an opportunity for the two to meet.
At the right time, at the right place, meeting the right person, so I fell in love.
The doctor's father, Iannis, was the one who knew his daughter best. He never agreed with Pelagia's engagement with Mandros (this fisherman can't even read a word, how can he endure a wife who is stronger than him?) The captain's hint (he said to the captain that Pelagiya's mother had a marriage contract with someone else), it can be said that he was the one who contributed to this relationship and was happy to see it happen.
However, love is not the whole of life after all, in the end, love will be destroyed by war...

Captain Corelli's Mandolin quotes

  • Iannis: [writing to Corelli] Antonio, I do not know if this letter will reach you, or even if you are alive. Perhaps someone else sent your record, and that is why we found no note. I would like to say that Pelagia is happy, but she is full of tears she will not let fall, and of a grief no doctor can mend. She blames herself for the pain we have suffered, and perhaps the same is true for you. You know I am not a religious man, but I believe this: if there is a wound, we must try to heal it. If there is someone whose pain we can cure, we must search till we find them. If the gods have chosen that we should survive, it will be for a reason.

    [the great earthquake strikes]

  • Pelagia: Why did you save him? Why didn't you leave him to die?

    Mandras: I wanted you to love me again.

    [Pulls out 100 letters]

    Mandras: In Albania, I made them read every one of these to me... 'Mandras, I love you,' 'Mandras, I want you,' 'Mandras, when are you coming back?' And then one day, a different letter. 'I don't know how to describe my feelings. It's as if I have been waiting a hundred years to hear from you, waiting a hundred years for you to return. Once, my heart was overflowing with love for you, but now all I feel is emptiness. And I think it was all just a pretense, that I never loved you at all.'
