Dead Stars

Alfredo was once in love with Esperanza, no doubt, but there comes a time whenlove fades, and the only thing holding you together is the vow you gave your fiancée, thatwhich you cannot take back. Why can't you take it back? Its because you are afraid of whatwill be the reaction of the people around you, specially during the time of the story. What'svisibly wrong about this is that most often than not, men refuse to listen to their ownyearnings and simply submit to further dehumanization.

 

Love here, though perhaps genuine to a point, for Alfredo, is seemingly weak andpurposive. Weak, because it is eventually overcome by propriety, and purposive because itwas merely a tool to justify his desire to go against society; that for once he will not be apuppet, but the master of his own fate. In the story, Alfredo falls drastically in love withJulia even as he is engaged to Esperanza, but in the end forgoes the idea. He kept onholding on to that glimmer of "what could have been" through out the years of his marriageto Esperanza, but upon meeting Julia again, he realize that some people come and go


Dead star is one of the best story I ever read because of the story that gives the readers guess what will happen next. This love story could be the fruit of some love stories today or some new and young authors are inspired by this and created their own.
