“I was in love with a whirlwind and I must spin a net big enough to catch it” (Raven). Acclaimed author F. Scott Fitzgerald knew the destruction that love can bring, but also knew the determination it takes to make it work. Rarely found with no tribulations, love tends to be complicated. Through these tribulations, relationships often prove each person’s true character and background. Countless novels continue to show this theme, including the novel Atonement by Ian McEwan. The relationship between Cecilia Tallis and Robbie Turner in Atonement, for example, shows that love is a dangerous game to play. Famous relationships dealt and still deal with this same conflict as well. Ginevra King and F. Scott Fitzgerald’s relationship is an example.
