The Dorcas that reason is better than emotion

I always feel that Dorcas is too sensible, and Timothy is too cowardly emotionally. Both of them are entangled in the past feelings, and no one has the courage to cross the line, just like the two parallel lines in the definition of love in the play, they never meet. when. But because of this kind of bondage, neither of them can start a new love life. Timothy treats his wife like a jerk. Dorcas likes male teachers but is separated by Timothy's jealousy. In the end, there is only one person who has to choose to leave. Feeling that they love each other deeply, but regret that they can not stay together. As for James, I feel that Dorcas has never really loved him, at best he is a good match. And James can be said that the prodigal son turned around and gave up a lot for Dorcas to make a decisive break with the past. But Dorcas's sentence, please give me some time, so that James waited in pain with a glimmer of hope, and finally had to choose to leave: please don't torture me with uncertain possibilities.
Compared to Timothy's indecision, James is very manly and bravely pursues his own happiness, but it is a pity that they met Dorcas, whose reason is greater than emotion.
I like the scene where James rode to Queqi Township standing in a wheat field after being rejected by Dorcas: the golden wheat tumbling in the wind, the lonely and frustrated wanderer.
