Beth is conflicted because she loves both Gabriel and Frank (p. 132). Do you think she does, in fact, love each of them equally? Is it possible to love two people at the same time?
I believe she does love both of them. Gabriel was her first love, her true love. Frank was the man who rescued her. She and Frank had a good life. She was content being his wife but then Gabriel returned. I do think it is possible to love two me, each one for a different reason.
Yes, I think she loved both men, in different ways. Frank was steady, serious, and the two of them honestly loved each other. Gabriel was the man she loved as a young woman, one who she never really got over, and so she took the chance to love him again.
Yes I think she loves them both equally but for different reasons. She connected with Gabriel and he was her first love. Frank rescued her and he was a solid rock for her. Different emotions in her love for each of them.
