Broken-hearted: your opinions please...


Gilbert and Helen

Gilbert has now finished reading Helen's journal, and, if possible, he now loves her even more than he did before. She, too, loves him with a passion and depth she can hardly control. They can think of little else, and can barely keep their hands off each other!

So why do they agree never to meet again?

I would be very interested to read all your comments on this question. Read Chapters 45 and 46 carefully, and see if you can figure out why they both agree to this enormous sacrifice. What would you have done in their situation? Do you think they have made the right decision? Do you think they will manage to stick to it? How convinced are you by the arguments and reasons they find to support their decision?

Lots of comments on this one please...

And, this week, I would like you to read Chapters 47-50. After that, we've only got one week left before we finish the book! :)

Maybe they're scared of getting hurt again or maybe Helen thinks she doesnt deserve a second chance to be happpy
