| Summary: | Viewed through the lens of physics, love conquers nothing is the conclusion reached when love patterns in romances are viewed through laws of quantum physics. In this book, based on the metaphor "Love/Text is Energy," love in fiction is interpreted in the same way as subatomic particles are studied in quantum mechanics, by investigating traces of their clashes in giant colliders, i.e., as Marx's 'converted forms' of the protagonists' conscious and unconscious. |
