    Summary

    The story of Dead Stars, Alfred Salazar, is at the center of the plot. Alfred Salazar has faith in true love and is hopeful of
    finding bliss in its midst. Esperanza is the first woman he falls in love with.

    They begin a loving relationship because their families are familiar with one another. After three years of dating, both
    become engaged. Esperanza is a passionate woman with a strong will and morals, in contrast to Alfredo who is a
    lawyer with strong desires and craves warmth and compassion. When Alfredo meets Julia, his affection for her quickly
    grows cold. He now has Julia as a fresh object of desire.

    Alfredo is immediately drawn to her when he comes upon her. He strikes up a chat with her while paying her a visit
    with his father and finds himself drawn to her allure. Although he is so devoted that he keeps Esperanza in the dark
    about his engagement.

    Though his fiancé is waiting for him, Alfredo travels to meet her after the Church's event is over. He finds out that Julia
    was already aware of his engagement to Esperanza when he gets there. She exits him while wishing him luck in getting
    married.

    After eight years, Alfred is transferred to a job assignment close to Julia's hometown. He has nostalgia throughout his
    stay, can't control his desire for Julia, and quickly comes up with a reason to meet her.

    Because Julia is still unmarried, Alfred is forced to fantasize about getting married to her. But, he quickly discovers that
    things are not the same as they were before. Also, Julia has changed and lost something.

    Formalistic Approach

    Dead Stars uses a formalistic method to illustrate the imagery, symbolism, and theme of the conflicted emotions of
    Alfredo, an older bachelor whose love and passion for his fiancé began to wane because of his attraction to Julia Salas.
    The narrative story "Dead stars" was written from the perspective of the third person.

    Analyzing the text reveals a profusion of imagery that aids in bringing the text's various themes to life. One of them
    was Alfredo's description of Julia's appearance, "There was a breeze from the water. It blew the air away from her
    forehead and whipped the tucked-up skirt around her straight, slender figure. The girl had grace and distinction. Her
    face was not notably pretty, yet she had tantalizing charm, even more, compelling because it was an inner quality.

    One element inferred by the narrative of forbidden love is that it's still possible for someone to find someone they
    think would be ideal for them even if they're already devoted to someone else.
