How
to get the reader to reconsider traditional definitions of love (or at least
not dismiss the new idea immediately).
From the fiction Killing Alec, it is
clear that the love showing in this story between Alec and his four girlfriends
is not a love in traditional meaning. To consider the traditional definition of
love, it should be loyal, devoted, kind, and harmless. However, in the story
Alec is dating with four girls at the same time, and the girls therefore plans
to kill him. The story makes this causality quite naturally, which is wired and
makes us doubt the real definition of love. The girls actually quite love Alec,
but they are also very excited when discussing how to kill Alec, and seem enjoy
the process of killing him a lot. And Alec, on the other hand, although is
dating with four girls, but he shows his sincere love to them all. Therefore,
although it is a bit unacceptable to many audiences, there is the possible that
the romantic love between people can be un-single. It may be alike to family
love that we love the one as much as we like another. So maybe the universal
love is not less than the exclusive love, and though it is not well-recognized,
we could not reject it.
