The Beginning

            You’ve been friends with her for years. For every groundbreaking achievement and devastating mishaps she been there for you, and you’ve been there for her. Although you haven’t noticed, you’ve gradually fallen in love with her. This excites you, “I’m not surprised that I love her, she’s beautiful, kind, and knows everything about me. Hopefully she will return my love, and we’ll be the happiest couple ever.” Thus you decide to reveal you love to her, but in return you get a “I’m sorry but I think of you more as my best friend than a boyfriend” you’re crushed, your heart is shattered in thousands of peaces and you feel as if you’ll never find someone that loves you. This is the painful scenario of unrequited love and everyone has experienced it.  Unrequited love is love that is not openly shared. No matter how much the beloved is desired.

            I will be reading three books where the main character is plagued by unrequited love. Hopefully I find the answer most unwanted individuals ask “why won’t my beloved return my love” the first book I’ll be reading will be Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte.  Although I have read only three chapters of the book, I am very excited to find out what struggles the main character will face while coping with his love.

            The story begins with the main character Lockwood visiting the landlord of Wuthering Heights, Mr. Heathcliff. Inside Wuthering Heights there are five supporting characters, “[Mr. Heathcliff, Earnshaw, Zillah, Joseph, and, [Ms.Heathcliff]”(58) at first Lockwood thought that Ms. Heathcliff was Mr. Heathcliff’s wife, but it turned out that she is a widow to  Mr. Heathcliff’s dead son. It is obvious to the reader that Lockwood will have some romantic involvement with Ms. Heathcliff.

            I predict that Lockwood will gradually try to gain Ms. Heathcliff’s attention like all unwanted losers. And either Ms.Heathcliff will try to prevent it, or Ms. Heathcliff just doesn’t want it.

Now its time for this week, UNWANTED LOSER!!!!! (Working on better title)

This is the segment where I dedicate a certain character that suffers through unrequited love. And today’s unwanted loser is……

CHARLIE BROWN!!!!

            I chose Charlie brown because he constantly stress to gain the attention of that “little red-haired girl” and ultimately never gain his goal.
