Romance can be a part of someone’s life, but it isn’t always the main focus. In the article “I Can’t Think About Kissing: Strong Female Protagonists and Romance in Dystopian Young Adult Fiction”, university student Mollie Hall discusses romance in dystopian novels: “Romance is pursued, but it is a side pursuit in the female protagonist’s journey instead of the goal.” (Hall 5). This statement is true in the novel Blood Red Road by Moira Young. Saba is a girl with a plan, who has had her brother stolen from her own home. She vows to get her brother back and sets off on a journey, meeting many interesting, villainous, and kind characters. That being said, Saba finds a bit of romance. This, however, is not her main goal. This is evident during Saba’s first meeting with Jack, her need for help, and her thoughts on her relationship with Jack. To begin, the initial meeting between Saba and Jack demonstrates a romantic viewpoint in the novel. Upon seeing Jack, Saba instantly feels a sense of love from her heartstone, a necklace charm that heats up when you are near your heart’s desire:

Then, Strout killed Frank in front of Mary Ann and the two boys inside their home. Frank’s father, Matt, feels that Strout should have to feel the same pain that his son felt. Therefore, Matt killed Strout. After Matt killed Strout, the author says, “He shuddered with a sob that he kept silent in his heart” (Dubus 64). Matt instantly felt bad after he shot Strout. Matt thought at the time that he was doing what was right for his family and his son but then reality set in and he felt guilt because of his

In this short story, his son is killed by a man named Richard Strout. Matt has the duty of dealing with the death of his son, trying to forgive Richard, and protecting his wife from seeing Richard at the same time. His wife never wanted their son to spend time with Mary Ann Strout, Richards ex, because she knew it was dangerous and it would only get Frank in trouble. Although, Matt allowed it and told his wife to leave their son alone and due to this, Frank was killed.
