Paper 1 Freewrite

I am thinking that I will write about and episode of Nip/Tuck. Nip Tuck is a series about 2 best friends who are partners in a plastic surgery buisness. It takes place in miami and is about sex, cheating, lies, scandal, beauty, love and controvery. There is one episode where Seanwho is one of the partners falls in love with one of his patients. He discovers that his patient has cancer and had her breasts removed and she is coming in to get breasts reconstructed. She chickens out and ends up not doing it and they notice that they have a connection for eachother. After some time she comes back after deciding she really does want to have her breasts done and her and Sean get together. They start to have an affair. Sean has a wife and kids and a family but he is going through a rough patch because him and his wife had lost a child. Seans mistress's cancer gets so bad and comes back that she decides to end her own life by overdosing on pills while sean holds her hand. I would like to explore some different themes of love. Like how Sean could be madly in love with both his wife and his mistress, does the heart have the ability to love so many people at once? And also about her suicide. Was it wrong for Sean to let her do it? Was he therefore commiting murder by watching and letting her kill herself? And then the notion of actually killing herself bc the cancer got worse, should she of gotten 2nd opinions, what if there is a cure? In the end Sean and his wife went to her funeral and his wife was suspicious about how utterly depressed he was and figured out that he was having an affair. She cant forgive him, Do marriages ever get over bumps in the road like these? Does betryal make our heart stop loving someone? These are very broad topics about life and death but I could narrow it down to the value of life and the dynamics of a marriage and love and how dishonesty and cheating play a role in almost all marraiges
