In "The party" by Herman Wouk, the protagonist Herbie is on a quest to find his love. Herbie's main pride is his hair, he styled it differently depending of the occasion, this occasion was a party he was invited to by his crush. When Herbie gets to the party, he is trying to find the courage to dance with his crush, Lucille but someone else decided to before he could get a chance. The book ends by him disappointed in himself driving home with his parents thinking that he lost his queen to someone else.
Herbie's most difficult situation was when he came back from the bathroom, from fixing his hair to see that his one true love was taken from someone else. Seeing your crush or what Herbie calls his Majesty dancing with someone else is heart breaking because it showed Herbie that she doesn't need him, she moved. After this situation Herbie was very disappointing in himself, and left the party feeling like a failure. I would feel the same way that Herbie did because Herbie was all excited and nervous for this party to be able to hang out with his crush, when he finally sees she doesn't like him back or at least not as much as he thought. Herbie finally opened up to his crush, to close his heart again and to feel like a failure.
