In our Philippine Literature class, we discuss the plots on the story of Dead Stars by Paz Marquez-Benitez. We discuss about the characters of Alfredo, Esperanza, and Julia. Dead Stars, as to what I read, is about a love conflict between the three characters. As what I understand about it, Alfredo was just infatuated to Julia but never in love. He just like how Julia kept him company. Esperanza, as a long time lover of Alfredo, is very faithful to him. She waited for 3 years, and she was expecting Alfredo to be honest to her and tell her everything about how he feels toward her and the other woman, Julia. Julia has an innocent character, as to what I read, she really had feelings for Alfredo but didn't know that he was engaged to Esperanza, so she act liked she doesn't care at all. Alfredo wasted his time thinking about Julia for almost 8 years because at the end of the story when they met again he didn't feel the same way like he felt before for Julia.
