The fictional story created in the book The Price of Passion is not unlike a Greek tragedy written with a purpose. The purpose was to show the reader the inevitable downfall of two people whose inherent flaws dictated their tragic end.
Two incurable diseases that lead to a sickness of their souls. The infidelity of a husband and the jealousy of a wife. Jealousy created out of an excessive and controlling love. Incurable diseases that had their toll over time. The end being one of death and madness.
