In the passage of the legend of Melusiana where love is something to be earned is the running theme of this passage. it critiques to many relationships people have today. “Raymond’s cousin had excited him to jealousy and to secret concealment, by malicious suggestions of the purport of the countess”. The interpretation from this quote is that love is something that people get all the time but others try to take that love away from them and take advantage of it. In the passage Raymond received love from Melusina and got married. I see this type of things happen in real life whenever it’s at school home or just any where in fact. being single and seeing relationships in. person and online seem either pleasant on the outside but possible hideous on the inside. People chase after things that they don’t have and pursue it even if it’s the wrong thing to do. “Melusina former anxiety was now verified, and the evil that lain so long in ambush and now fearfully sprung on him and her”. It seems that evil caught up with both of them and had a horrible fate which resulted in their death. Having too much of one thing can lead to most losses. It shows in our lives money can solve lots of problems but has a flaw in itself and when other human moral values are needed most it rises in situations that tend to be when inequality is seen in the public eye and causing problems.
