A Unicorn indeed

I don't think he's a unicorn. Especially when we remember that the novel was written by a man. There are great guys out there, only that they often go unnoticed and are overlooked by less modest men.

Evelin Menezes Yeah, I really didn’t mean there are no guys like him. I’m sure there are. I just think they are very rare, especially now a days.

@@j.r.r5863 You are right. Unfortunately it is very rare and decency is hardly appreciated in our society. It is enough to note what kind of romantic hero pop culture and some women have been promoting: selfish, violent, dominating and manipulative men as in Fifty Shades, After and 365 days.

There is no such a man only in fairytales

I love how you've been able to grasp this, no one here could :) you also noticed the roundness of the movie? that in the ending scene she wears the same clothes as in the opening one? yes, the thread can also be read in this key, that in the beggining she throws him a challenge ( "you will never be able to tame me") which he picks up and succesfully completes through kindness and trustworthiness then withdraws at the right moment alowing her to confront her feelings and the perspective of a life without him. :)

@@irinafiruti Wow..Good observation. !!!!!

The word tame is stupid. It's her choice after all and all this things he did when he withdrew it gave her mental pressure. That's unhealthy

@@elenawithacookie2221 it was her choice to use the word "tame", not mine... but to be honest I understand her choice of words because I feel the same. She is passionate and a free spirit and she doesn't want to be tied down by someone who doesn't inspire her, who will tell her what to do and take her freedom away (she thinks Gabriel is like this, and would force her to live a provincial life). I think what she is saying is if she were to settle down, she'd want someone who inspires her to choose him and not feel resentment for having to settle down. She is not opposed to settling, she does want to find someone to love and who loves her, but she doesn't want to be told what to do. She wants it to be her choice, she wants him to be such an excellent choice that she'll feel no resentment or disappointment whatsoever for "settling" for him. This is what she calls "tame me", and this is what he does. With steady patience he shows her he would not curtail her freedom or ask her to be less than what she is, so she realises that he is the person she can rely on and who loves just the way she is and is only asking for the same. He "tames" her because she has allowed it to be so, because she chose it.

@@friky111x100 Okay but "tame" is really not the word for me... It's more of a realization. Taming is different... Yk?

Tell that to lesbians😒😒

@@pjosepha Those people are confused and don't know what they want so they lie to themselves and allow the deceptive lies of the flesh to guide them. They have given way to their depraved desires.

in the 1967 version, Gabriel says the line

I thought she doesn't deserve him .. she was foolish and married the soldier really quickly against her own principals. Even when she felt that there's something odd in her marriage she didn't act or do anything !! And Gabriel, he was there for her all the way supporting and protecting her

On paper it would seem that Carey would be perfect but for some reason she is not and I don't know why. But Schoenarts is definitely perfect and the final scene is brilliant.
