SUMMARY

- Max Shulman's short story Love Is A Fallacy recounts the efforts of a college student to educate

his love interest, Polly, so she can be a fit wife, hostess, and mother. The education of Polly

involves explaining the most common types of fallacies: Dicto Simpliciter, Hasty Generalization,

Post Hoc, Contradictory Premises, Ad Misericordiam, False Analogy, Hypothesis Contrary to

Fact, and Poisoning the Well. These fallacies demonstrate an improper use of reasoning, but the

narrator discovers Polly turns from his Galatea to his Monster by using his logic lessons against

his pleas for love. The fallacy that is most interesting in the story is the one known as Hypothesis

Contrary to Fact, which demonstrates how guilty the narrator is of misusing logic to win Polly.

Examples from Love Is A Fallacy will be used to demonstrate this.

EVALUATE

- To elaborate, the story Love is a Fallacy by Max Shulman. The protagonist must understand that

it takes more than intelligence, logic, or reason to create an emotional connection. Love and logic

are two incomparable ideas. One cannot live without both of them, but it would be a futile

attempt to be logical about love.
