Craft Demands Conflict

There’s a reason the author is so pessimistic about love: The men he writes about are too capricious and unkind with the hearts of women who love them, the women are the same with their men, and the rarefied pair of star crossed lovers has aligned against them a jealous god, a cruel and contemptuous world, or a universe bent upon their destruction.
