In the case of the book, we have Fatima saying that she would rather see Santiago achieve his Personal Legend in order to stay by his side. Her reasoning is that she loves Santiago and therefore should love his dreams too. The Alchemist who encourages Santiago to pursue his Personal Legend has a slightly different logic. The Alchemist claims that there can be no conflict between true love and a Personal Legend. "without such love, one's dreams would have no meaning" (The Alchemist, Coelho, 1988, p.98). This happens because true love is defined as a love that does not hinder the Personal Legend. Now the same can be applied to Kundel. Here the relationship between Kundel and the girl will strengthen the feeling in the search for self-affirmation. “It was the language of enthusiasm, of things made with love and purpose, and as part of a search for something believed in and desired” (The Alchemist, Coelho, 1988, p.64). It is this feeling, love, that makes him stronger and resists any obstacle that the universe places on him
