What is real? what is love?

The artist blurs the boundaries between life and works, and blurs fantasy and reality, so people can't see his real appearance, and must use external objects to understand him. Should an artist be judged by his works or his private life? If you only look at the works, the school that expelled Harry can give him an award, and he is no longer a real person, but has become a label; if you only look at his private life, almost no one around Harry affirms him. But what exactly is real? Even a psychiatrist will have a time when he can't control his emotions; even the influence of the family of origin of the writer who has been criticizing the Jews will accompany him for life; even the playboy who has repeatedly warned others not to fall in love with him will be troubled by love .

Regarding the reason why Harry was unwilling to marry his former lover and good friend, I personally think it was not jealousy or possessiveness or love, but that Harry felt that his lover knew him so well and liked his works, so he should be able to understand him in this life The stupid thing I've been doing all the time: confusing love with marriage. Sexual liberation and freedom cannot be tolerated in marriage, and love fanatics who have been chasing love all their lives should not put on the shackles of marriage.
