Dead Stars , just like Alfredo, a lot of us see them in our "heaven" of thoughts. Sometimes we feel as if the feeling is still there, that in one moment during our present, we recall these memories that had packed our past emotions with a sky of rainbows, enough to make us feel in love and hurt all in a short while. The story reflects a lot of things, one being that even if we have the free will, sometimes we have to ride to where society demands of us to ride onto. Alfredo certainly was concerned of his social status the what-would people say. Apart from that, he was also trying to be a gentleman, which is just, in fact, reasonable for the time setting. People of the past are conservative and traditional.
A story of the sheen of love long faded, though still glimpsed as shining; an alluring romantic story about having to choose between someone one has known for so short a time, but have loved him and still loves him in the present, and the one he has loved in the past, and have known for such a considerable time. It is almost like a game of love, Alfredo, Esperanza and Julia being the players
A game of love which nobody really won in this "game" . It was all about losing in the end. And for me certainly, it was a loss out of the wrong choices made, wide of the mark decisions. But also, it is a part of the human weakness , we all get wrong once in a while. The thing for the story is, no matter how much love we get lost at, there is always redemption. For these dead stars, they will always be there to bring us back to the past, make us feel things over and over again. But, we have to recognize the past from the present, and certainly, where we should be, where we have to live and it should be in the present. We have to learn to let go if its needed, or else we'll find ourselves feeling empty and as if we have lost something significant. In short, no matter how much of our stars die, life must always go on.
