I can't help speculate how tedious her life has been. It's good that they got together in the end but thinking about all the lost opportunities kinda get to me. A life of regret.

But perhaps that what makes it beautiful. We can relate to sorrow and despair more intimately than we can do with happiness.

I like a quote by Kafka a lot that goes here—

"I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound or stab us. If the book we're reading doesn't wake us up with a blow to the head, what are we reading for?"
