  • Happy stories are too easily forgettable... it's the sad ones that tear your heart to pieces that you remember and carry with you.

  • I just saw this as an opera for the first time and it was great. However to answer your question, I would say listen to Aretha Franklin's song Bittersweet Love. Music helps us understand emotionally certain issues that arise in literature that can dwell with us a lifetime in a spiritual sense.

  • Love sometimes is always a strange land,a luddus of oil which makes your heart slippes.

  • perhaps sadness is the emotion that everyone relates to. it is the ultimate truth of life that happiness and sadness are two sides of a coin. it also helps us to forget our problems for some time and feel a pity for the characters in the book.

  • Consider Shakespeare's teen drama, Romeo and Juliet. Romeo sneaks into the Capulets lavish party, hiding his true identity because of the whole Capulet vs. Montague beef. He comes across Juliet and falls instantly in love. The party scene is a catalyst their relationship and ensuing demise. In a sense, the party becomes a fulfillment of fate for the two star-crossed lovers, a tactic used by Shakespeare not only to advance the story but to brew the formula for pending tragedy.
