I take love in so many different ways. My mom says "I love you" and it's different than one of my friends saying "I love that boy." The tough part is that love can be interpreted in different forms. It's like a quote in the yearbook two years ago: "to love is nothing, to be loved is something, and to love and be loved is everything." Love complicates us in how we give it. I may love someone because they are good looking or they are good at piano or whatever. People may love me for the same reason. We all need both to love and be loved. But on a deeper level, we need to have a connection with each other. Love changes hands very quickly. complexities arise when we don't know if someone loves us or not. One day I may say "I love you" and the next I don't want your love. Or like Milkman, one may get bored of easy love. For Hagar, this stripping of love leaves her confused and alone. She wants Milkman's love, but he won't giv eit to her. The bond between Hagar and MM is broken, and Hagar can't repaair it.
