After that, they were blessed with two children and eventually got married, but ultimately, death kept them apart. The researcher used library research techniques on books and journal articles that were pertinent to the theory and the primary data source, which is the novel, in order to obtain information for the study. In addition, the researcher employed descriptive qualitative methodologies to analyze the gathered data. Every piece of data that was collected was examined using Erich Fromm’s 1956 theory. According to Fromm’s idea, “The Art of Loving,” love is an active force that needs knowledge and practice to be maintained.
