Week 11: redemptive love: rom-co(cid:373) for(cid:373)ula a(cid:374)d (cid:862)true lo(cid:448)e(cid:863) The romantic comedy aims to give us what we want to (cid:449)at(cid:272)h t(cid:449)o people, (cid:449)ho do(cid:374)(cid:859)t k(cid:374)o(cid:449) they fit together, fall deeply, madly in love with one another. What you"ve got mail accomplishes is that is balances the formula we expect from the genre with portraying a rather (cid:858)realisti(cid:272)(cid:863) (cid:448)isio(cid:374) of lo(cid:448)e, at least fro(cid:373) va(cid:272)ek(cid:859)s perspe(cid:272)ti(cid:448)e. Criteria of love: both kathlee(cid:374) a(cid:374)d joe are good people (cid:449)he(cid:374) (cid:862)(cid:374)ot(cid:863) together, (cid:271)ut ha(cid:448)e pote(cid:374)tial to (cid:271)e(cid:272)o(cid:373)e greater if a(cid:374)d (cid:449)he(cid:374) the(cid:455) are u(cid:374)ited . Uthey do make one another better by giving each other their strengths: He also gi(cid:448)es her the (cid:272)ourage to (cid:862)i(cid:373)agi(cid:374)e a (cid:271)etter life(cid:863) He also allo(cid:449)s her to see that she does(cid:374)(cid:859)t (cid:374)eed to settle for a pedestria(cid:374) relatio(cid:374)ship (cid:449)ith so(cid:373)eo(cid:374)e (cid:449)ho does(cid:374)(cid:859)t (cid:373)ake her a(cid:272)hie(cid:448)e her full potential. Kathleen life is valuable but small- she is missing something- being brave.
