Living with Insanity

"Evaluate Daisy's decision to continue living with Edmond, and predict whether Daisy still has feelings for Edmond or not."

Daisy thinks of Edmond often

Finding Edmond without a map was difficult

Daisy from How I Live Now continues to love Edmond, even after being separated from him for years during the war and despite his post traumatic stress disorder.  Daisy spent so much time with Edmond during her first stay in Britain that she developed an incredibly deep relationship with him. This relationship has proven time and time again to be the single reason that Daisy wants to survive.  When Daisy returned to her old home and discovered that it was completely empty with nobody home, only the thought of Edmond made her look to the future.  When they are apart, Daisy constantly thinks about Edmond and the time that they spent together.  She even believes that their connection runs so deep that she is able to hear Edmond even when he is not with her.  Daisy's connection with Edmond runs so deep that she thought, "I know exactly where I belong.  Here.  With Edmond" (Rosoff, 2070).  The love that Daisy has for Edmond is so potent that she wants to stay with him no matter what his current state of health.  Edmond has become the one person that Daisy lives every day for.  All in all, Daisy is incredibly devoted to Edmond, and wishes to spend the rest of her life with him.  Even though Edmond is not in a healthy mental state, Daisy still cares enough for him to continue living with him.  She truly believes that this is the one place in the world where she can be happy.
