Love and Marriage in Gallant's The Other Paris

I love other Paris forever. This is full of passion and taboo, the real impulse of the heart. On the other hand, marriage is practical and safe, it is a socio-economic ladder. In "Another Paris", Mavis Gallant was a fictitious couple that interwoven Carroll and Howard 's stories, telling the misleading behavior of men and women in the reality of the 1950' s, the background of the story. Gallant emphasizes the difference between reality and imagination, using stereotypes, ignorance, and completely boring characters, commenting silly about the social love and perception of marriage due to their lack of misfortune and passion.

"Life is a pleasant comedy for the satirical court of Charles II, marriage is the main design, although comedy gentlemen have many love and mistress, he has neither love nor marriage. So, to become a target of laughter. "(British Literature Survey: Volume 2, page 53) So to summarize, the sole purpose of Wycherley 's attempt to draw on his main work is to draw some common behaviors . Our daily life enters the stage of the play, expressing these behaviors through humor, reminding the audience that these mistakes in their actions appear to be correct. Wycherley indirectly teaches moral classes and laughs the audience

Carol is a young American woman working in Paris and plans to marry Howard. She did not fall in love with him, but I thought they had a need for a perfect marriage. During her engagement she tried to find some romantic Paris and her love. Paris is actually dull and uncomfortable, and her experience is not quite romantic. But after a while Carol thought that when she was married and happy he would see it all as imagined. It never existed before.

Isolde is married. I will continue discussing the topic of marriage. In both stories, marriage has quite a symbol. In Romeo and Juliet, they love each other, secretly get married, Juliet is promised to Paris (she has not been promised, but she knows to be her). In Tristan and Isolde, it is more complicated. Isolde should marry Morholt, but he is dead. Then the king played a game, and the winner was able to marry his daughter. Tristan won it on behalf of Marche (I do not know if the girl he liked was), then Marche and Isolde got married. Tristan and Isolde are in love with each other, and there is a secret incident behind the husband. As you can see, even if the parables are very different from each other, they are still very similar. They are a love story with taboo and tragic love, but eventually the conflict between family and the country has ended. Both authors explain the story extremely enough that it can be solved.
