TRUE LOVE

While reading "Federigo's Falcon,"some of our fellow classmates got upset because they did not agree with the fact that Federigo gave up everything he had for this one lady who did not even show any type of affection towards him. Some thought he was stupid. I don't think he was stupid, I just think he was blind. Our classmates said they would have never done what Federigo did for the lady, but have you ever been in love? When you are in love, you are blind and living in this fantasy in which only you and your lover exist. When you are deeply in love like Federigo was, the well being of your lover comes first. You would do anything for that person because you are madly in love. Love is a powerful feeling that can make you do stupid things at times. Federigo's character gives you a taste of how a person is when he or she is in love. I would have probably done the same if I was madly in love, I wouldn't have given up my falcon though. Would you have done the same? Do you understand why Federigo acted that way? Do you believe in true love?

    Federigo reminds me so much of Pip in Great Expectations. Just like Pip loved Estella, Federigo loved Mona and both women crushed their hearts at some point. I think true love is real, but that doesn't mean you should start acting stupid and naïve because of it. I understand that Federigo was crazy for Mona, but he was not being realistic with himself and his relationship with Mona.

    I do believe that love is powerful enough to make you do things that are not explainable to others because I myself have done ridiculous things for love. However, I feel as if you can love someone but you also have choice because love can not overpower you. For example, when you have a abusive relationship do you stay because you love the person? No, you leave and disappear even if your heart bleeds for that other someone because that's an unhealthy situation and you deserve better.

      When Mona never once showed gratitude for his advances despite thinking to herself it was honorable, I think he should've left and dealt with the temporary heartbreak. Yes, you can't control who love and how hard you love them but you can control what is right and just in you own life.
