The presence of love in Nine Days is one that is undeniable, and is the basis of all intricate connections observed in the novel. Although indicating that support and comfort is something that can help individuals deal with stresses and hardships, it is merely up to individuals to resolve their own issues, therefore showing to readers, love is only a tool for combating challenges, and not the one-size-fits-all ailment.
Main arguments: 
  • Societal expectations are often values and desires that are enforced through love in a family, despite the tensions they may cause. 
  • The role of Kip in each chapter symbolises the integral presence of love and cherishing that arise, indicating that love lasts longer than hardships faced by individuals over time.
  • Love is not the end-all or be-all of one’s ability to thrive in resolving their hardships, and rather indicates that for some, the absence of love develops an independence to escape what is truly a detriment to their life.
