Not always what it seems..

In a typical world, this would not usually happen. Sarah, the lower class homely woman approaches this upscale ritzy man out of the blue and unexpectedly they click. He tries to look past her imperfections but cannot because he is scared of what everyone around him will think. It seems like Ron created this dream world where he could have intercourse with this woman listen to her problems and think that that was enough for her. He allowed her to trust in him so he could control every step they made and in the end kick her to the curb and leaving her in the dark. This story was obviously a class struggle. I wouldn’t really consider this a love story except for the fact that Ron did have some relations with Sarah, which was out of the ordinary considering their classes. Usually in this type of situation the man would not even look twice at the woman led alone speak to her. So in a way, Ron did put aside the Marxist views and go for it but in the end by not going to places where he knew he would see other upscale business people and by not meeting her children, he allowed those views to overcome him. Sarah illustrated a good example of communism by approaching Ron in that bar by having the pre-notion of knowing he was above her and still speaking to him as if she were equal. It seems she was searching for a way to get out of her lower class.
