U N I N T E R L I N G U A 10 young love from the most terrifying situation of all: death. Love turned Óscar into a hero and Mijail into a monster. But in the end, Óscar’s and Mijail’s motivation had been desperation and fear of loss. In the young man’s case, he wanted to save Marina’s life at all costs. He could not imagine a life without her. In Mijail’s case, he wanted to cheat death. He felt that if nature had given humans life, they had a right to keep it. Na- ture should not decide when humans should die.

The trade is not easy to make, but when the vial gets broken under Mijail’s strong grip, he furiously comes towards the young couple ready for the kill; it is then that Eva begins to shoot him until he is dead. Óscar takes ad- vantage of this situation to take Marina out of the theatre before it completely burns to the ground. Óscar and Marina were able to survive terrifying and dangerous situations, thanks to Óscar’s bravery and determination. In the beginning, his motivation had been sur- vival.
