For quite a long time, I have believed every confidence in the power of love, no matter in friends, family members or lovers. We are being told that nothing could defeat love in the world all time. However, not until I read the novel The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter, written by Carson McCullers that have I changed my opinion.
It’s commonly regarded as the first novel by Carson McCullers at the age of 23. It’s hard to believe that such a young lady should have this kind of hopeless loneliness. The novel tells a story about John Singer, a deaf mute, and people he met with in a southern town. Although it was quiet and calm in the small town, everyone emed to be suffering from solitary, confusion, depression and eager for understanding, connection and love. Compared to them, Singer was emingly the most satisfied and happiest man at the very first beginning. Unlikely, after he heard the news that his friend and companion was dead, he couldn’t stand anymore and finally ended up his life with a gun. The whole town fell into t
he endless loneliness then.
