In a way, this story reminds me of the
Bluebeard fairy tale. While the young lady goes but once in the tale, Belinda cannot stop herself from repeatedly returning to the small, secret, room of death - in this case, the wedding story. Her hands become stained with the ink of the marriage that might have been.
[spoiler]Then, in the end, she chooses a miserable marriage and family life over the loss of her husband if the magic of burning the story can be believed.
Loss does strange things to people. It makes them believe things that aren't necessarily true. Afterall, would it not be better to have the good times and love with Gordon than the misery contained in the story? Is that not the natural cycle? By destroying "The Wedding Story", Belinda is destroying someone's attempts to keep her from pain and suffering and a miserable life.[/spoiler]
