Lost Love

I feel that the theme of love in The Children of Men is ending during the apocalypse and is replaced with an obsession of finding either a "cure" to the infertility issue or to finding a source of fertility. It's almost as if love is not something that is experienced, but rather an old idea or notion of a past world. P.d. James does an excellent job of creating characters that show glimpses of love toward one another. It's almost like she's making Theo into a sort of entity rather than a person. Like he and his compassion/ love is a "cure".
