Part 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:
For me, love always has a great power, great for many people.

No one can doubt, love is a strength and ability that the Creator gives people to help them
overcome difficulties and hardships in life. I completely agree with this opinion, and it


aligns with the profound themes explored in the stories O. Henry's "The Wizard's Gift"
and Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Scarlet Letter."
About the masterpiece "The Gift of the Magi" with the two main characters, Jim and
Della, have expressed the meaning of love through their act of sacrifice. In this story,
neither Jim nor Della is materially rich, yet they also make selfless choices to show their
love for each other. How much Della treasures her hair. But she is willing to sell her most
precious possession, her hair, to buy a necklace for Jim's dainty pocket watch, while Jim
sacrifices his precious watch to buy combs. for Della's long hair. The story embodies the
idea that love transcends material possessions and stems from acts of sacrifice
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 describe love as a force that motivates people to overcome obstacles
and find ways to face difficulties. The strength of love is found in mutual understanding,
sharing, and sacrifice. It significantly contributes to overcome challenges in life.
In conclusion, I strongly believe that love can empower people to live meaningful lives
even in difficulties, which has been demonstrated in two stories “The Gift of the Magi”
and “The Scarlet Letter” of two well-known authors. People should power of love
because it will help us find the exact ways to face adversities.
