A Type Of Love Story

In Sarah Cole: "A Type of Love Story", by Russell Banks. This is a story of true life's love relationship on the life that the narrator is trying to write for the readers. Is based on what we where talking about Hegemony, for example hegemony can be found in love, how there can be certain obstacles that deny for two soulmates to be together. Some of the obstacles may be religion, how in many religions one should marry people in their same group, another is personal appearance, which is one main function seen in this story, and also age. This is a type of story where it touches on many different feelings, there is the feeling of bravery where Sarah Cole, who is the protagonist next to Ron in this story, goes an starts a conversation with him. There is also the feeling of discrimination how at first Ron saw Sarah as not attractive, but later it turned to the feeling of passion where he was glanzed by her for being a nice person.
The story starts out in the setting of the bar where they were many important people, of what we can relate to what Gramci defines as "Intellectuas". There was the two kinds as Gramci wrote the first the "Traditional", wich in this story where the un-married lawyers and Ron who seemed a professional person, and the others where the "Organic", who as Gramci said, "These Organic intellectuals are distinguished less by their profession, which may be any job characteristic of their class", these individuals where Sarah and her other friends who worked at the Rumford Press. Then the story describes Ron's reaction when he first saw Sarah, as seeing her older than him, with many features that made her be unatrractive, but after having many conversations with her, he then realize that she is a nice person. Therefore, this makes him start seeing her in a more passionate way, a feeling of desire that causes him to start a relationship with her based greater in sexual intercourse. Consequently, this caused Sarah to feel that their relationship have gotten more seriously, she convinces Ron in introducing him to her family and friends, but then is found with the truth. Sarah confronted Ron, while trying to introduce him to her children, he made things clear to her, in a sense that he didnt want anything serious, just friendship. Therefore, this causes the separation, Sarah is though of going back with her exhusband, and he is remarried an living a happier life.
A way to introduce some kind of Marx interpretations is the use of Ideology, an example is personal values, how Sarah felt sure of herself and started the conversation from the first moment she saw him. Another Marxist relation to this story is popularity, how Ron was seen by others as an object of envy, because he seemed to have a better living style, from his good looks to his more elegant apartment. In the end, I think this all is connected to what Gramci defines as Intellectuals, the separation of groups based on their class oe even 'genre'. Consequently, Ideology is a major obstacle in making people interpret their own beliefs, it can be seen as a hegemony attribute, by creating obsracles that takes away poples freedom to do and say what they are aware off, and not what they are unaware of the consequence this might bring.
