__The Age of Innocence__ Edith Wharton Some of the minor conflicts in this piece of literature were solved when Archer finally saw May once again. He started to fall in love with her but then his mind started to wander off into other situations and conflicts. Again, Archer tries and unsuccessfully persuades May to shorten the length and date of their engagement, later turning into a wedding. May starts to wonder if Archer doesn't want to marry her anymore, since he keeps on saying to hold off their wedding date. She is starting to think that he may have found another woman or is over her and wants to move on. This novel is believable to me because it totally can happen in real life. It may be a little dramatic and too serious for today's couples, but it can happen. Most dating experiences don't always end up like this, but some will. The things that I really didn't like about this novel is like I always say, it was very hard to read and comprehend. Also it was a very hard book when you had to understand it, you had to think not just read. This novel The Age of Innocence is most likely directed to adults or older teenagers because of the vocabulary and the plot line. Those are some of the reasons that I didn't really like about this book. But some of the reasons that I really liked this book were because I can really see the characters in the story come to life. Like maybe how they act towards people or situations. And also the characters remind me of people I know in my own life. Lastly, I loved how the main theme of the story was about love, love is something that you will always need and can't get enough.
