One of the main themes is the complexity of love. It shows how love is not just a simple emotion but involves many aspects like compromise, understanding, and the changing nature of relationships over time. Another theme could be self - discovery within a relationship. As the characters navigate their love, they also learn more about themselves.
Alain de Botton develops the characters in 'The Course of Love: A Novel' by showing their growth over time. They start with certain beliefs and behaviors at the beginning of the relationship and as the story progresses, they change in response to the experiences they have. He also uses their interactions with other characters, like their partners and friends, to show different sides of them.
Philosophy in everyday life is also a recurring theme. In novels like 'How Proust Can Change Your Life', he takes complex philosophical ideas and makes them relevant to our daily experiences, whether it's about love, time, or the pursuit of happiness.
