Part 2. Choose one of these questions which are given in the task and
answer it in a 300-words essay
2. Love is full of sacrifice and helps people live meaningful life even in
difficulties. Do you agree with that opinion? Why or why not? Can you also
prove by your understanding of the story “The Gift of the Magi” by O. Henry
and “The Scarlet Letter” by Nathaniel Hawthorne?
Answer:
Love, undoubtedly, has the power to inspire selflessness and drive
individuals to make sacrifices for the betterment of others. It can indeed help

people find meaning and purpose even in the face of difficulties. I agree with
this opinion as it resonates with the profound themes explored in the stories
"The Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry and "The Scarlet Letter" by Nathaniel
Hawthorne.
In "The Gift of the Magi," the protagonists, Jim and Della, demonstrate
the true essence of love through their sacrificial acts. Despite their limited
financial means, both Jim and Della make selfless choices in an attempt to
express their love for each other. Della sells her most prized possession, her
beautiful hair, to buy a chain for Jim's beloved pocket watch, while Jim
sacrifices his treasured watch to buy ornamental combs for Della's long hair.
The story beautifully portrays the idea that love transcends material possessions
and is rooted in acts of sacrifice. Although their gifts seem impractical in the
end, their actions symbolize the depth of their love and the significance of selfsacrifice.
Similarly, in "The Scarlet Letter," the character of Hester Prynne
exemplifies love's ability to help individuals live a meaningful life amidst
adversity. Hester's unwavering love for her daughter, Pearl, drives her to endure
the public humiliation and social ostracism inflicted upon her as a result of her
affair. Despite the harsh judgment and condemnation she faces, Hester remains


devoted to Pearl's well-being, sacrificing her own reputation for the sake of her
child. Her love becomes a source of strength and purpose, enabling her to find
redemption and establish a new moral identity.
Both of these stories depict love as a force that motivates individuals to
overcome challenges and find significance in the face of difficulties. Love's
power lies in its ability to inspire selflessness, compassion, and sacrifice. It
prompts individuals to place the well-being and happiness of others above their
own, leading to a more fulfilling and meaningful existence.
In conclusion, I firmly believe that love, with its capacity for sacrifice,
can empower people to live meaningful lives even in the midst of difficulties.

The stories of "The Gift of the Magi" and "The Scarlet Letter" highlight the
transformative nature of love, demonstrating how it can transcend materialism,
societal norms, and personal struggles. By understanding and embracing the
profound nature of love, individuals can find purpose, fulfillment, and resilience
in the face of adversity.
