Day Twenty-Two

I think I want my theme to be like "True love conquers all." I really want my theme to have something to do with love. The moral is kinda like good things come to those who wait, so I was thinking about love. Love isn't something that can be forced, it only comes in time. You can learn to love someone, but that takes time. So, in my pastiche the prince princess learns to love the prince even if he was a bird.

The events that I think can help my theme are as followed.

1. When the samurai first meets the princess, and all he could think of was the princess.
   
   
2. Even when the step-mother locked her away, he was still persistent and wanting to be with her.
   
   
3. When the samurai is turned into a bird, he still visits the princess every night and not let her grow lonely.
   
   
4. Even if the samurai didn't look human, the princess learned to love the samurai in a form of a bird.
   
   
5. It was the princess's love for the samurai that led her to find him and tell him of the misunderstanding.
   
   
6. From the very beginning the step-sister never really liked the princess because of her beauty, but because of love, the princess loves her step-sister as if she was a real sister. So this was how the step-sister learned to love the princess back.
   
   
7. This all leads to the end, when the samurai and the princess gets to live happily ever after together.
   

These are mainly the highlight events or scenes that support the theme of the story, that true love really can conquer all. That true love to me isn't just in a form of romance, but I believe that true love comes in all form of love. The three forms of love: Eros love, which is most commonly known as the romance between man and woman, the Philos love, which is mostly between friends. Lastly Agape love, which is the most unconditional love there is. At the end of the story, the princess shows agape love to her sister.

Also, these events lead to the point that the princess was the one to eventually get the reward at the end. After all these years of having to follow in the shadow of the spoiled step-sister, she was patient and waited. She waited, and so her reward at the end was the love of another, which is worth more than any object on earth.
