In fact, Al Gore mentioned correctly, that he had read that the characters were based on him and his wife. It is sometimes said that Al Gore falsely claimed that the plot is based on his life at Harvard. New York magazine in 1971 stated that Jenny resembled the "myopic, athletic, brisk princess" Brenda Patimkin in Philip Roth's Goodbye, Columbus. Barrett apologizes to his son, who replies with something Jenny had once told him: " Love means never having to say you're sorry." and breaks down in his arms. By the time he reaches the hospital, Jenny has died. When Oliver's father realizes that Jenny is ill and that his son borrowed the money for her, he immediately sets out for New York to reconcile with the couple. She tells him to avoid blaming himself, and asks him to hold her tightly before she dies. From her hospital bed, Jenny speaks with her father about funeral arrangements, and then asks for Oliver. With their days together numbered, Oliver is desperate and seeks financial relief from his father, but lies about why he needs it. Jenny suspects something is wrong, confronts the doctor, and discovers the truth. After Jenny fails to conceive, they consult a medical specialist, who after repeated tests, informs Oliver that Jenny has terminal leukemia.Īs instructed by their doctor, Oliver attempts to live a normal life without telling Jenny of her condition. The couple move to New York City, excited to spend more time together, rather than working and studying. After graduating third in his class, Oliver gets several job offers and takes up a position at a respectable New York law firm. Jenny begins working as a private school teacher. Without financial support from Oliver's family, the couple struggles to pay Oliver's tuition at Harvard Law School. Upon graduation from college, the two decide to marry, against the wishes of Oliver's father, who promptly severs all ties with his son. Although, divided by class, Oliver and Jenny are immediately attracted to each other and begin dating. Oliver (Ollie) is at Harvard preparing to take over the family business, while Jennifer (Jenny) is a music major at Radcliffe College and planning to study in Paris. Love Story is the tale of two college students who fall in love: Oliver Barrett IV, a jock and heir apparent to his father's business empire, and Jennifer Cavilleri, the quick-witted daughter of a Rhode Island baker.
