进一步阐述
都说爱情是盲目的，这种情况恰好说明，人们为追求真正想要的东西，能迈出多远的步伐。
与其他形式的牺牲一样，故事中的紧张气氛部分源于社会对这种行为的恐惧，部分源于对做出牺牲的人的同情。在这种情况下，同情的方向与发疯的人（或者那些因此受苦的人）没什么不同。我们也会发现潜在的自我，从而会加剧内心的恐惧。

Discussion
It is said that love is blind, and this situation illustrates just how far people will go to pursue that which they truly desire.
As with other forms of sacrifice, the tension in this is derived partly from the social horror at the act and partly in the sympathy for the person, in this case the sympathy being directed in the same way as when a person has gone mad (or maybe those who suffer as a result). We may also see potential in ourselves for such an act, perhaps increasing the tension of a secret fear.
