Love a surprise box

The option that I chose for my blog is option 2.. let me start by saying that "The Horse dealer's Daughter" was one my favorite of the 4 readings we had for this assignment.

I am going to start with D.H. Lawrence short story which is "The Horse dealer's Daughter," in this story the main characters Mabel Pervin and Dr. Jack Fergusson undergo dramatic experience in which both fall inevitable and in love. This story is also representing the power of love, how it could happen and how these love is able to transform the lives of these two characters. also there is many powerful symbols that actually show how these characters change. THE POND is the most important symbol of these story, this one represents many aspects of Mable life. "[As he walks in the pond]... he could smell the cold, rotten clay."(482). this might represent how isolated, lonely, sad and putrid her life is, This also could depict the feeling she has towards life she sees is senseless and unworthy she has no parents and lost all material possessions.For Mable and the Dr. the water in the pond symbolizes a new life a change, (this might resemble a religious baptism where the water is use to wash the sins of the life) similar to that Mabel is able to wash her old dark life and reborn."She looked up at him with flaring, humble eyes, of transfiguration, triumphant in first possession."( 484) this quote confirm her reborn and new life and how she is able to lose her dark shame. as a final thought in this story, Dr. as the story gets to the end make you believe that he is going to reject her with comment and feelings such as" He was afraid even a little horrified ...and he never intended to love her." (484-485). instead these comments and feeling s depict and express that love is something that no one is able to control and it is a feeling and experience that cannot be planned or foreseen this happen unexpectedly

"The Lady with the dog" by Anton Chekhov is about a man 40 year old man that fall in love with a very young and good looking woman that has a Pomeranian dog. even though this man preaches that women is "the lower race" he actually enjoy their company and feel more identify with women than men. as is explained love is something unplanned it is just like a surprised box it is there when we least expected. in the case of these characters, they had a an affair that actually took both of them to have a transformation, specially Gurov.  he is able to discover that women are not lower than himself, on other hand he  is able to find love.
