After reading Max Schulman’s “Love is a Fallacy”, I had many reactions regarding what happened in the story and what the characters did especially on the narrator. According to Max Schulman, love is a fallacy. And for me, love really is a fallacy. It is something that is believed to be truth but is erroneous. Many of us don’t know that there are times when love, which we think to be truth, is erroneous just like what happened in Max Schulman’s “Love is a Fallacy”.
I liked the story especially the last part because the girl, who is Polly, really learned and put in mind what the narrator taught her and she was able to use those information in answering what the narrator said. Her answers were exactly the same as what the narrator taught her. For me, the narrator made a really big mistake. He shouldn’t make the deal with Petey. What he did was really not good. He made a deal with Petey just to get Polly. Even though he knew that Polly was Petey’s girl, he still looked for a way just to get Polly form Petey.
Polly was not that brilliant. Fore me, what the narrator did, which is teaching Polly about Fallacies is good. But I think he should not do it so that he could take Polly from Petey and be his wife. I saw that Polly really took what the narrator taught her heartily and she really placed all the information in her head. Because she really took them heartily, she was able to answer what the narrator told her when he was about to ask her decision to go steady with her. And what she answered really fit what the narrator said. It was like what he taught Polly was coming back to him and he was not able to debate with her because he taught Polly to think and answer those kind of things.
I really like the last part especially the part when Polly made her decision to go steady with Petey. The narrator had nothing much to say but to compare his self from Petey. He said that he is more brilliant than Petey and that Petey is dull. But Polly told him what he taught her, which is “Poisoning the Well”. He was indeed poisoning the well. He was destroying Petey’s reputation just to have Polly but she still chose to go steady with Petey. And that’s the part when the narrator was really mad at Petey and he was saying words against Petey. Then the narrator asked Polly why he chooses Petey and she answered that she liked him because he has a raccoon coat. And it is sort of hurting because he was the one who gave Petey the raccoon coat when they two made a deal and it feels bad for the narrator because he really did a great mistake and it was his entire fault. If only he did not long to take Polly from Petey, what happened might not happen and he might still have a chance to go steady with Polly.
