One of the crucial social concerns and themes raised by the novel is the question of an ideal marriage. Does such a marriage exist? When a match takes place between a brilliant but poor young woman, with "zero social status" and an equally brilliant, athletic, rich Ivy-leaguer, what are the common denominators to insure an ideal and successful marriage? The parents of the wealthy young man object to the match because the young lady is a commoner; will love alone be strong enough to sustain the marriage, without the parents' blessing?
