By viewing love as a “chemical reaction,” the study investigates how attraction, transformation, and personal growth in the novel parallel chemical processes such molecular bonding, reactions, and catalysis. It posits that the story’s relationships can be seen as both emotional and molecular events, with attraction serving as a catalyst, character bonds representing chemical interactions, and personal transformation reflecting chemical reactions. This interdisciplinary approach provides a deeper insight into the novel’s exploration of love and self-realization, while also offering a novel perspective on the integration of scientific concepts with literary analysis. By using chemical theories to interpret the narrative, the study presents a unique understanding of the transformative power of love, mirroring the fundamental processes that govern both human experience and the physical world.</em></p> Alishba Ahsan Copyright (c) 2025 Alishba Ahsan https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ http://jssrp.org.pk/index.php/jssrp/article/view/72 Wed, 01 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000
