People thought differently then
Many classical novels focus on the theme about social standing and love,disaproved by society.In these books the main characters fight for the right to be loved and to live happily.One such romantic fiction is George Sand's "Consuelo".The story takes place in first in Italy and later on in the occupated Czech Repuclic. The protagonist id a young gypsie girl named Consuelo.She lives miserably in Venice as an orphan after the loss of her mother.The only people who care about the poor heroine are her music teacher and a boy by the name of Andzoleto.The outstanding details of Consuelo's personality are shown by the author in every scene.Despite the life,which for her is extremely troublesome,she is a very nice,kind,gentle and loving person.Even though the young woman isn't as beautiful on the on the outside she has a very big heart and a tender and melodical voice.Consuelo is in love with Andzoleto,a very good friend of hers.When invited to be a singer at the biggest opera in Venice with him she achieves more than he does.Andzoleto breaks her heart and she runs away to The Czech Republic,where she is a music teacher. In the"Giant Castle"Consuelo meets a thirty-year-old aristocrat- Albert. According to the locals the man is insane and dangerous.While living there the young woman rarely sees him.The peculiar person happens to be very intelligent and caring.He shows affection and love towards the shy and extremely noble girl.Albert's family stand their ground against the marriage.Consuelo is afraid and her actions are based on her desire to make everyone happy.She is confused-if she marries Albert they will both be rejected and hated by his family and all the other high-positioned people. After passing many obstacles and suffering the two young people finally live happily together.Nevertheless the opinion others expressed about their relathionship played a major role in their destiny.I beleive that if in those times humans weren't pressured bt their social standing and the society's opinion about them, they would definrtly have lived better. Even disapproved and disliked by some Consuelo and Albert's will to be together gains respect,praise and admiration by all common people.

Oh, I didn't see the other post. In fact, I didn't reread the instructions about "how the attitudes of society affect the relationship between the main characters". (My stomach ache was really bothering me.) I just thought the title didn't match the essay.
