#8 What's love got to do with it?

Song of solomon is all about love. what makes love so complex?

In the book of Song of Solomon, love is very complex and hard to find. A prime example is macon's wife Rose. Eventhough she's treated unfair and not treated the way she's suppose to be treated, she still stays because she feels that no one would want her because she's too old. In this situation, love is complicated because she can't leave the ungrateful,selfish man she's married to. Even if she does leave him she would have no one. Pilate on the other hand, seeks love and won't allow it to happpen. Pilate is still stuck in between childhood and reality which is growing up. She feels that if she dates anyone her dad will find out and she would be judged or treated unfair, so she tries to avoid i. Love is complicated int his situation because she wants someone to love but can't have it because she doesnt want anyone to know. In this book, love defines, haterd, darkness, and betrayal. Love is very complex in this story because its hard to seek and hard to get through the tough times.
