For this blog I will be exploring the idea of if Henry really did love Catherine. Henry told himself he loved her and he told her that he loved her but I do not think that Henry knew what actual love meant. The priest knew that actual love is unconditional which means that you wish for and do whatever you can to best serve the person that you love unconditionally. I do not think that Henry truly loved Catherine unconditionally. He did not love the baby which was a part of her and he did not care about her happiness. He only cared about the fact that keeping her happy would make him happy. He needed her for his happiness but if her being happy didn’t benefit him then he would not care, therefor his love was not unconditional.

This is a good argument you make that Henry’s love for Catherine is not unconditional. I feel like at a point in their relationship though, Henry’s love for Catherine is unconditional at that moment, but then later on he somewhat grows out of love with her. Overall, this was a strong argument, but you could’ve explained a little better if at one point he had unconditional love with her.
