In fact, it's not just love. The protagonist is a loyal, meticulous, and conscientious butler. The whole meaning of his life is to serve his master well. The master's status and achievements are also his achievements - his own so-called "dignity" , and he always thought that his master was engaged in the great cause of promoting justice and peace in the world. But the reality is just the opposite. The master has become a traitor who has been spurned by the world. It is conceivable that his so-called "dignity" has long ceased to exist (he dared not mention to others that he was Lord Darlington's housekeeper), His past life has become meaningless, a feeling of disillusionment, and he has also missed father and son love, missed love, a complete tragedy.
In the novel, he always excuses himself and refuses to admit the reality, until finally, after meeting with Miss Kenton, on the bench by the sea, he finally repents of what life is for, but the days are coming to an end. At the end of the year, there is not much time left. He said to Miss Kenton: "For the rest of your life, try to be as happy as you can," as he should.
