Abstract
The Beatles echo popular sentiment with their hit tune from the 60's, "Can't buy me love." The lyrics profess that love holds more value than money or materialistic cravings. Certainly, a romantic relationship can yield substantial benefits to both participants, including companionship, intimacy, stability and status. However, must a couple share love to realize these comforts? love, with its accompanying emotional distractions-jealousy, envy and insecurity-can prove burdensome and impractical over time. Subtract love from the equation and the remainder equals two people seeking social and financial advancement. Marriage may mark modern man's most memorable misconception. Without potential profit motive, no logical reason exists for such a union to endure. In relationships, the desire for gain overpowers the need for love.
In the novel Pride and Prejudice, ulterior motives hide behind the guise of good intentions. Miss Bingley claims that she and her brother remain in London because she wants her brother, Charles Bingley, to be happy.
