Prompt #3

One of the dominant themes in the Fried Green Tomatoes is love and devotion. Throughout the novel we see Ruth's and Idgie's relationship grow and blossom into true love. Even though it is a forbiden love back then a true love it was still the same. This is shown by the character change of Idgie upon meeting Ruth. It never fails that once you find your other half they change you for the better. An example of this is shown through Idgie's character change through Mrs. Threadgoods' memories of the events she tell Evelyn. Even when Ruth leaves to go back home to marry Frank. Idgie is still helplessly in love with her and will do anything for her. This show us that love and devotion is a major theme throughout the novel.

    I feel as if love and devotion are a theme of the book also. Not only is it shown with Idgie and Ruth, but it is also shown with Evelyn and Mrs. Threadgood. Their relationship grows into them loving each other like their own family.
