Best Answer

Alfredo and Esperanza had been engaged for a long time because they shared a strong emotional connection, had similar goals and values, and genuinely loved each other. They might have also wanted to take the time to build a solid foundation for their relationship before taking the next step.

What is an example of person vs person conflict in dead stars?

An example of person vs person conflict in "Dead Stars" is the internal struggle of the protagonist, Alfredo Salazar, as he grapples with his feelings for two women, his fiancée Esperanza and his love interest Julia. This conflict arises from Alfredo's realization that his love for Julia may have been a fleeting infatuation, causing him to question his commitment to Esperanza.


Summary of Dead Star by Paz Marquez Benitez contributed by Luis Philip M. Oropesa of Batangas State University - College of Teacher Education?

The story revolves around Alfredo Salazar, a bachelor over thirty, and two women: Esperanza, his fiancée of four years, and a young girl from out-of-town named Julia Salas. Everyone takes it for granted that Alfredo will eventually marry Esperanza. But although he is ashamed to admit it, the intensity of his passion for Esperanza has faded and he is attracted to Julia, whom he meets at a dinner party. But he is aware that all his loved ones-including Julia-would disapprove of his failure to honor his understanding with Esperanza. So he and Esperanza get married and have a family. Then, eight years later, he goes on a business trip to the town where Julia, still unmarried, lives. He goes to visit Julia, whom he has never forgotten. But he is surprised to find that he no longer feels attracted to her. He compares the memory of his love for her to dead stars, whose glow is still visible from the earth for years after they are gone. Dead Star is a love story about a man named Alfredo Salazar,who has his fiance in the person of Esperanza and they have been engaged for quite some time. Society views them as an ideal couple. Their wedding is about to take place in the near future. Prior to the wedding however, he sees another girl, when he goes with his father to a judge's house. He tries to seek love in her, but she kinda declines. in that way, Alfredo became a little bit confused in his upcoming wedding where he is about to chose between two options; to do what he should do by marrying Esperanza as prescribed by his parents or to do what he wants to do by having Julia Salas, his dream - the dead star in his life. In the story, dead stars symbolize a dream for something that is nonexistent. The guy loved the girl. She was his dream, his star. He thought there was love there. But like a dead star which is so far away, and whose shine could actually be the leftover traveling light from it, he was a long way from getting the girl, and the love he thought was possible, never was.
