poll: (Love and Semantics) In Vernon God Little, Vern is on the run and out of money. Suddenly, his dream girl shows up with $600! His comment, in his ironic interior monologue:
"One thing to be proud of: I don't respond to the flood of joy-hormones, the ones that make you want to smell flowers, or say I love you. I contain myself like a man."
If Vern had told the girl that he loved her, would he have been promising something or asking for some kind of promise from her? —> people who voted for: Yes, he would have been promising something more complicated that doesn’t fit any of the above.
