The journey that Richard and Mildred Loving took is important for history and for the future of civil rights in the United States.

Additionally, the main character’s husband shows some selfish tendencies in the fact that he may not notice his wife’s discontentment with his affection.  However, this may also present the lack of communication between man and wife and therefore may cause a sense of isolation from her husband.
