Literary Torment

oh how i wish to just skip to the end of this book. not because it is bad becaus i wish to know the fate of fermina daza and florentino ariza. how i long to skip ahead and see what fate has instore for them. of course you may ask why i am sobadimate about finding out what happens. it is simply the book is a reflection of my own reality. my own struggle of love. it is almost as if my own fate is tied to these two characters. as the scenes play out and i get closer to the end i feel myself becoming more anxious and excited at the same time. i fear a tragic ending where the romance dies and love is lost. and yet too often does that occur to often is the happy ending lost. i want to just flip to the last chapter to see how this love plays out and yet if i skip the minor details i may not understand why the ending is the way it is. a fear of misinterpreting the happy ending or mistaking a sad one for a happy one. ahh love why are you the driving fire of my soul that insists on this torment.
