A Service Of Love 

Question -01 : Discuss how O Henry employs the theme of sacrifice and love throughout the story 'A Service of Love'.

☞︎︎︎ 𝐴𝑛𝑠 : 

 

    There Two Theme in A service of love. 

          1. Love 

          2. Sacrifice 

1. Love : 

                       The core theme of the story, “A service of love” is Love. Joe and Delia loved each other unconditionally. Their love is what made them consider quitting their lessons in order to provide for their partner. They chose to secretly perform other jobs other than their artwork, from where they could earn some money. They both wanted each other to keep on learning from their art lessons. The last dialogue of Delia in the story, “just ‘When one loves'”, clearly supports this theme.

2. Sacrifice : 

                They both valued their relationship more than their passions. They had not spent much of their lives together, but when their savings ended, they both were ready to sacrifice their goals for their partner. In the time of need, they both were willing to back each other selflessly. In case they would not have been working at the same place coincidentally, they might have kept it a secret for a longer time.

         We grow up hearing the phrase ''Love conquers all. '' O. Henry's short story ''A Service of Love'' is a great example of how love drives two people to sacrifice their ambitions for the sake of each other. It's not a typical fairy tale, but it could make a good one.
