Erich Segal Love Story -

Either way, its closing line still hangs in the air, both absurd and achingly sincere:

This mirrors the trajectory of the 1960s itself. By 1970, the raw energy of the early decade’s rebellion was beginning to settle into the "Me Decade" of the 70s, where personal fulfillment often trumped political revolution. Jennifer and Oliver’s relationship is intensely insular. They retreat into a world of private jokes, ice skating, and study, ignoring the Vietnam War and civil rights protests raging in the background. Jennifer, the radical voice of the opening chapters, becomes a housewife who is thrilled by Oliver’s success at a corporate law firm. She does not change the system; she becomes its ideal constituent. The "Town" is successfully annexed by the "Gown." erich segal love story
