Spoiler alert!!
Love is that weapon that sometimes destroys our hopes, and perhaps our lives. This is the core of the novel, which revolves around "Stephen's" loyalty to his beloved "Majdolin," who did not hesitate much to sell him for money; she married his friend "Edward," who shared his food and lodging. Circumstances change and fate takes revenge; "Edward" loses his fortune and commits suicide, leaving his wife poor and indebted, while "Stephen" inherits a large fortune. "Majdolin" feels guilty; she goes to her ex-lover, announcing her regret and repentance, but his dignity rises above his love; he rejects her repentance, but helps her overcome her financial crisis. "Majdolin" could not bear life and commits suicide, and "Stephen" realizes that his heart is still beating with love for her, so he bids farewell to life without regret. His last will was to be buried next to his beloved; as if he were saying to fate, if you refused to bring us together in life with our bodies, then here we are, united in our souls.
