Throughout the novel Enduring Love McEwan opens the readers eyes to many different forms of love through the actions and emotions of his characters. He also makes us aware that people are able to have more than one love.
The first love we encounter is that between Joe and Clarissa whose relationship up until the day of Logans death was "without a trace of complication". ... McEwan takes the opportunity to show us how much Joe is in love with Clarissa by letting us know that her birthday gift from him was the "most expensive single item" he had ever bought and "must have cost [Joe] thousands". Another example of the strength of Joe and Clarissas love is in chapter three when they turn to each other for comfort after Logans death. Joe believes that sharing his every thought and feeling with his partner will exorcise his demons ("I wanted to tell Clarissa", "I wanted to tell her I loved her") and in turn Clarissa reveals her need for Joes love in her moment of fear and instability; "I just want to hold you".
