In many works of literature, love for another person takes a major role in what the main character does. They will do anything for their lover or not do something because they said so. Love is the one thing that is color blind, crosses through social statuses and doesn't care if your parents say you can be with a certain person or not. It will consume you whether you expect it and want it or not. Love makes you do crazy things, like make you go worry crazy about a person even though, in your mind, you know they are okay or break the social norm or even break the law, in some cases. Love is a very powerful emotion that can do anything it wants to do.
