Abstract

Coelho's well known 'The Alchemist' isn't a novel on the roles of people and it doesn’t own any expression about commonplace love except talking about a mystical Universal Love. But it says about love being one of the most important and valuable treasures that can be found. The other books are similarly mystical inclining much on Eros and Agape. Rather they try to demonstrate the inner paths of agape. To escape from her commonplace routine, Linda takes steps to get rid of her "missing euphoria with something increasingly concrete – a man." She gets alongside a secondary school boyfriend turned politician who uses her essentially for his sexual appetite. On the contrary, Linda pines for him and ponders that she is in love with him. She excitedly admits that, "It's thrilling to fight for a love that's entirely unrequited." This new experience of having no predefined notions, unpredictable conduct of Jacob make her insane to that extent where she endures emotional imbalance and opts groundbreaking decisions.
