p The Passion by Jeanette Winterson

Introduction

True love goes on multiplying , passion diminishes with time

The waiting time in love , makes it sublime

--Love is a bird with colorful wings , in the heart ever caged

It moves with tantalizing speed to make one a bard

--If it were that easy to bear the pangs of love

Thousands of fireflies ' wouldn 't have thrown their lives at the glow of light

If one is able to understand the plight of the hearts of those in love one will understand the

position of Henri and Villanelle . `The Passion by Jeanette Winterson , is not that chilly as her name suggests . It has many profound `summers `ingrained in it . Henri is the dedicated young man and he has devoted his life to the service of Napoleon Bonaparte during years of war . He falls in love with Villanelle , a Venetian woman who can not reciprocate his love , because strangely she has given her heart to a noble woman . This is the typical crossroad of love , wherein some retreat , but the love of these two souls is something special , is not mere passion of the titillating bodies . Winterson probes the hearts of these two lovers in her own profound style . Her poetic language makes the story highly interesting and it touches each and every molecule of the reader 's heart

The pangs love can not be explained , they are to be experienced . Love can happen to any one in situations of war or peace at the most unsuspected moment . The most adverse circumstances between the two lovers still make it happen . Whether it will ultimately fructify in both , joins them together or not , is altogether a different issue true love is such , that it doesn 't expect to be loved back

The life of lovers depicts the craving for common destiny of Henri and Villanelle , but that ends in singular destiny . They are obliged to take different paths in the opposite direction . Will those paths ever meet again ? - this is the philosophical question and the question related to the soul . It has to be understood in the context of the circumstances . To find answers to such questions , one has to cross the mind-barrier . Mind , with its limited capacity has no power to provide solutions to such riddles

Now coming to the question proper , `Henri and Villanelle both imply you have to...
