"I attended Southeastern's production of The Imaginary Invalid and watched the play.”

At first when I walked in, (a couple minutes late) I didn’t really know what was going on, but mainly because there was so much stuff grabbing my attention on the stage that all I was trying to do was look at everything. I believe the maid and the elder man were having a conversation when I walked in and eventually I figured out what was going on… his daughter wanted to marry someone but he had arranged another man for her to marry. During the play there was a part where the man who she wanted to marry was singing a poem, and in this poem he describes a situation exactly like the situation concerning the girl, him, and the others as well. After the poem, things get heated up between the father and the daughter who is pledged to be married, and she mentions that if the man who she is pledged to be married to was a real man he would not marry someone who is forced to marry him. I don’t remember her exact words but they went something like that.
It caught my attention because I thought there was a lot of truth behind that statement. If a man truly loves a woman, I don’t believe he would be involved in anything that forces that woman to do something that she does not want to do. In this situation it was her marring him, but in our world we can apply it to so many things. Among the greatest, of course, I would think would be sex. Middle school and high school girls are every day told that they are loved, and that all they want in life will be given to them if only he could have what he wants. Of course by telling them that, they are not forced, but it is an implantation that will go to continue as: “well if you love me you will do this” which then can turn into “well if you want my love, you will have to do this.” Not all women would stick around long after the first hint, of course, but at young ages girls can be so vulnerable.
However don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of things someone might make you do if they love you like: “eat your green beans!” or “put your seatbelt on!” But if a guy loves a girl he should never force anything or even consider something that would harm her or put her in a situation she knows she should not be in.
