Can't Stop Thinking About It

I finished my Telenovela over the weekend and although the entire thing was enjoyable, the last eight hours were by far the best. There is just one thing that keeps nagging me to the point where I am thinking about it and analyzing it over and over. I was so torn when Bruce decided he never wanted to see Rosita ever again. He hated her, his words we so hurtful and spiteful. His pride was crushed. He acted as if he couldn't stand the sight of her, when really her still loved her. It took me a while to figure this out. Whenever the two were in a room together, he would start on a rampage and I would think to my self "Wow, they really are never going to end up together because Bruce just won't give in and listen." Bruce who I once compared to Edward in Twilight, was now the epitome of hatred.

The actor did a really good job of portraying his feelings of hate for Rosita, almost too good of a job. I never knew that jealousy could drive a person that mad but it makes sense. He loved Rosita so much. He grew to lover her as Rosita when she was only beautiful on the inside, and he loved Rosita as Violeta when she was beautiful on the outside. It was an undying love, so strong and so passionate. His heart never wavered in another direction, even when he was married he could barely make love to his wife for he was constantly thinking about Rosita. I had to interpret all of this myself because unless they cut it out, there was never a scene where Bruce verbalized all of this. He just basically found out that Rosita was pregnant with his child and went soft. I would have liked for him to have had a conversation with her expressing all of this because even in the last scene, it was hard for me to be convinced that he was truly past all of his hatred.

I am tempted to go back to the beginning and watch the scenes where he is in love with Rosita and Violeta just to make myself feel better about the ending. I wanted to be convinced that he was truly in love with her the whole time and his hatred was driven by jealousy of Fabian and his pride which was crushed. I guess I should realize that not all love stories are like that of Edward and Bella, where Bella could basically do anything and still have Edwards unconditional praises. The reality of it is, people get mad and angry and jealous all the time, and even though they can still love a person sometimes those feelings are so strong that they impede everything else. I think I will go back and watch those beginning episodes, then maybe I can finally stop thinking about it!
