          Response to Why the Marriage Plot Need Never Get Old

With the feminism developing, marriage is not the most important part for women any more. However, it seems a disaster for the novels which are related to the main characters’ marriage, and there is an instance in the article that Anna Karenina kills herself because she left her husband which also ruin her life, but now the heroine in contemporary novel will be busy with the custody battle and remarry. In the former novels, the social repression for the main characters demonstrates the power of love, which attracts the readers most. Nowadays women have the right to divorce for themselves, however, from my perspective, the marriage plot will not be out of style because of it.

On a hand, marriage plays an important role in everyone’s life, and the person you choose is who you want to live with her/ him for the rest of your life or at least a part of your life, so marriage will not be separate with love, although divorce is legal, it is not a reason to use marriage as a tool to get money. On the other hand, in brief, the conflict comes from the social life and human nature which means the conflict won’t be influenced by outsides situation, for example Madmen Bovary does not a successful is because the her character, divorce cannot solve her problem.

 In a conclusion, the plots which are related to emotions and play important role in people’s life such as marriage will not get old.
