The result shows that all the three components of love mentioned above are vividly reflected in the novel. Intimacy is depicted through the characters named Ale and Anya, passion is also portrayed through Ale and Anya when they are going to have the first child but it died in the womb, and commitment is also illustrated through the same characters who make up their mind to declare a commitment that they will live together till the end of their life, regardless whatever might happen to them.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Keywords: components of love, intimacy, passion, commitment.</p&gt;}, number={4}, journal={KnE Social Sciences}, author={Munthe, S R}, year={2018}, month={Apr.}, pages={816–824} }
