Out of all the literature we’ve read, the most common theme presented is the idea of a soul mate. If you think about it, nearly any book, movie, or multi-media presentation has some sort of love/mate side plot. So the idea of a “soul mate” is not just a concept like “the utopia” created by intuitive fictional writers. It has some basis in human culture. If we take a look at histories magnum opus, the Bible. It is said that Adam was incomplete until his wife Eve (or Lilith for you Kabbalah occultists) came into being. Which we could conclude that if we our descendants of Adam, then we too yearn for that relationship with our insignificant other. Which no one can deny that they have not had that desire at one point in their life.
It is because we have this desire for a soul mate that people create works of art and literature about it. If this weren’t the case then sex wouldn’t sell. This is seen the most in modern day works such as “The Notebook”, “Twilight”, and for those would recognize this reference “The Place Promised in Our Early Days”. So the sole mate relationship troubles of “Wuthering Heights” and “The Scarlet” are not just ungrounded creative writing. They come from the human experience.
Now whether someone can really find their soul mate I believe is very subjective, and rarely does it ever happen to very lucky people. However I believe that you make things what you want them. Fate may play a part in, but for the most part I believe “sole mates” are the perfect Adam and Eve union of two people that truly understand each other.
