Crazy Rich Asian By Kevin Kwan

Rachel and Nick's relationship in "Crazy Rich Asians" by Kevin Kwan and Daphne and Simon's in "The Duke and I" by Julia Quinn experience similar challenges but somehow manage to make it work. Despite the different time periods and settings, they both have to face societal pressure, family resistance, and their own insecurities in order to find their happily ever after. Ultimately, they both realize that their love for each other is worth fighting for and that overcoming obstacles is equally as significant. In the end, both relationships prove that true love will find a way, no matter how challenging the obstacles are, even if it is family. Additionally, their struggles show that it's possible to attain happiness, even in the face of opposition.

They both understand that communication and compromise are essential for success. They focus on understanding and supporting each other as they face obstacles. Rachel and Daphne have committed to making their relationships a priority and are doing their best to make time for each other despite the challenges of their families or their partners. Daphne was willing to sacrifice a life with no children because she believed it was "Better to live with the man she loved than to have children with one she didn't" (Quinn 231). Daphne even explains how Simon could never hurt her despite Simon's explanation as to why he can't marry (Quinn 208). In contrast, Rachel realizes how much she misses Nick being around and decided to not let her pride get in the way of her love for Nick. She even explains how she "didn't realize how much [she would] miss having Nick next to [her] at night" (Kwan 530). Additionally, both Daphne and Rachel understand that both of their dreams are equally important and strive to find a balance between them. They also show a commitment to communicating openly and honestly with each other. They both trust and respect each other, and they are willing to make compromises in order to make their relationship work. They also bring out the best in each other and show mutual admiration and

They demonstrate that through strong communication and respect, relationships can be made stronger despite of what they have to deal with. When both Daphne and Simon were in the garden they were able to break down the barriers between them. This created an environment where they could share their feelings, learn to trust each other, and ultimately develop a strong bond, Simon even thought to himself that "he wasn't going to be able to have her this night-- he wasn't able to have her ever, and he needed to make this touch last him a life time" (Quinn 196). This moment of closeness and understanding was essential for them to form an intimate connection. It was a turning point in their relationship as it enabled them to be open and honest with each other. This ultimately allowed them to form a deep and meaningful bond. Apart from this, Nick tries his hardest to protect the relationship and explains "I don't give a damn about what my family thinks- I want to be with you, Rachel" (Kwan 508). This demonstrates that Nick is willing to go against his family's wishes to be with Rachel. This shows his commitment to her, and solidifies the strong bond they have formed. Rachel is touched by this gesture, and it becomes clear that Nick has a profound respect for her. This further cements their relationship, and it is evident that their bond is strong and
