It is time to admit that the forever and ever concept could be rather dangerous. Maybe it would be better not to force the idea of never-ending love. The poor girl does it, because she believes that it is her duty to stick to her husband, even though their married life is insufferable. She tries so hard to keep her love for Kovrin even when he treats her as if she has no feelings, she does everything she can to help him, but the situation becomes even worse. We have been reading these stories all our lives, we see them in the movies and – what is more – the majority of us wants to believe that never-ending love really exists. There are so many stories that glorify never-ending love. The man tries so hard to save the garden from the inevitable end that forces his daughter into marrying a madman, believing that Kovrin will be as much obsessed with the gardens as Yegor Semiónovitch is.

The man doesn’t even notices that he is obsessed, that his garden becomes the only one interest in his life. Yegor Semiónovitch is so afraid of losing it that he sacrifices his freedom readily. However, his love for the garden turns him into a slave. Every tree, every flower, every inch of his estate is special, he treasures this place more than he treasures his daughter. Yegor Semiónovitch loves his gardens, he lays all his life on them and does it gladly.

However, Kovrin forgets that madness is destructive. She is not special and the worst thing that she wants him to be as shallow as she is, the man believes that she wants to rob him. Even his wife, tender, caring, and loving Tanya, starts irking him, bringing out the worst in him. Kovrin doesn’t want his sanity back he doesn’t want to be ordinary, for normal life is mundanity for him.

He lives in distorted reality, enjoys it, adores that unique feeling of being a superhuman. We are thankful for their contributions and encourage you to make your own. These notes were contributed by members of the GradeSaver community.
