Their relationship was like a jungle fever or the attraction of opposites. Mahmoud, a dark-skinned young man from Upper Egypt, the son of a poor, educated, simple worker, fell in love with Nourhan, a fair-skinned girl from Cairo, the daughter of a former official, and belonging to a well-to-do social class.
Mahmoud believed that love was a sacred secret and that difficulties could be overcome through willpower and love. Nourhan, however, influenced by her family's thinking and the realities of her life, saw love and marriage as separate paths, and poverty as an obstacle to the relationship's continuation.
The relationship ended with Nourhan's decision to marry another, wealthier man, under pressure from her mother, who convinced her that Mahmoud was a young man at the beginning of his life and his success was not guaranteed, while love-in her view-did not provide a comfortable life.
This experience left a wound in Mahmoud's heart that never healed for decades. This heartbreak was reflected in his personality; he transformed from a gentle, romantic young man into a sharp, aggressive, and sarcastic one. Perhaps this failure was the driving force behind his professional and literary success, a kind of self-affirmation or an unforgettable act of revenge.
Decades later, Nourhan reappeared in Mahmoud's life, but only through dreams and visions. This prompted him, in his later years, to seek news of her and search for her, reflecting his desire to check on her or perhaps to redeem himself.
This relationship in the novel is not merely a romantic tale, but a struggle between the heart (represented by Mahmoud's belief in talent and honor) and the materialistic mind (represented by Nourhan's submission to the laws of class and self-interest).
