Passion and Desire: About Ada and George's "Deranged Love"

At first glance, the romance between the heroine Ada and the farmer Baines is indeed a bit of a "deformed love". Ada did give up her body. To put it vulgarly, it is to sell one's body for some "ulterior motive" (in exchange for a piano). But Ada is not a prostitute. For prostitutes, the two ends of the scale are flesh and money, and the flesh is loaded with all dignity. For Ada, the two ends of the scale are the body and the piano, the body is only the body, and only the piano is inviolable. A prostitute sells her body (dignity) for money, but Ada sells her body for her dignity. There is no one more saintly than her. When she voluntarily fell down before the farmer, she was giving herself solemnly and devoutly to her faith. She didn't have sex with the farmer in the first place, either. Without love, what to do? She is just silently paying for her ideals, at all costs, even herself. In my opinion, the person who will spare no expense for the ideal beauty is decisive and noble. Ada is like that. She is not contemptible, she is practicing a noble pursuit with her silence, perseverance and persistence, she is noble. The body is heavy, but the soul is light. It has long since been singing and dancing with her love on the beach, lingering and sad...
It is said that Ada's love is a bit "deviant" because she is from desire to love, to love. Falling in love with the farmer comes later. Some people say that this is "because of the true love of the male miscellaneous husband and the hope of the female pianist's own psychological liberation." Yes, what Ida felt from the farmer was true love. Because true love is based on respect and understanding that comes from the heart. Ada's husband could not see into her rich and deep inner world, and unconsciously regarded her as his own, only his wife. And that seemingly rude Baines is filled with a special power. He not only has a deep understanding of Ada, but also respects this weak woman from the bottom of his heart. As a somewhat natural person, Baines' way of expressing his love is somewhat primitive: he sleeps with Ada almost forcibly. But when he gave Ada the piano as promised, he refused Ada's appearance. Why? Was his love for Ada merely a physical desire? Not also. Baines explained to us the true meaning of love at this time. At first, he expressed love by making love, and at this time, he refused to make love also to express love. Because he knows that he loves Ada deeply, that to love her one must respect her, to respect her one must elevate himself to be equal to her, and sex alone cannot make them equal. So he refuses to have sex with Ada again. But his refusal made him finally win that seemingly impossible love.
