Two hearts that beat at once

In the book The Alchemist, Coelho shows love as one of the most important elements. He also says that love is the force that tranforms and improves the Soul of the World. Coelho is clearly trying to explain the importance of love in one's life. During Santiago's journey, love was one the main elements that kept him going and led him to his destiny. In the very beginning, his goal was to meet the merchant's daughter and that really forced him to keep going and when he meets Fatima and loved her at his first sight, he had to make a decision. It was either to stay with Fatima or to continue towards his destiny. He has indeed decided to continue and his determination has enhanced knowing that he must return to Fatima after achieving his destiny. Because Santiago always had a loved one inside his heart, he tried his best to strive to achieve his destiny knwoing that his love was awaiting for him somewhere. Coelho also explains that love is different from every other elements. When Santiago was caught by one of the tribes and was forced to turn himself into wind, he had a conversation with the sun and there he firmly tells the sun that it doesnt know anything about love because unlike every other things, love can be learnt just by being up high in the space and observe everything. From Santiago's journey, it should be clear to everyone how Coelho demonstrated that love is indeed the the force that tranforms and improves the Soul of the World.
