Importance of Love in "The Constant Gardener"

The factor of love and romance is woven throughout the entire film.  There are marriages of all different types, supposed affairs, and even a question of sexuality.  Although one could say that the element of love in the movie is merely a Hollywood agency to win over a general audience, love is certainly integral to the storyline.  This is because the differences in each character's approach to love represent how they deal with the main issue at hand: the mistreatment of the Africans by the drug company KDH. 

I plan on creating posts focusing on individual "love stories" between characters and how that directly causes events to happen in the overall plot.  This strategy will prove that love in The Constant Gardener is not just a Hollywood gimmick, it is central to how the film unfolds.
