Theme

I see two clear themes that play throughout the entire novel. One of them is definitely more significant to the novel's understanding and that is love. The first theme would be:

"Love can overcome any boundaries"

The second would be:

"Patience is amazing virtue"

"It's dark now and I am very tired. I love you, always. Time is nothing." Both of these themes are relevant to the characters lives and their ways of living. The first explains how true love can really move a person and keep them alive. Patience is something that everyone should have. In this novel we see Clare as a portrait of patience. She waits patiently for Henry's return anxious of when it might be and how it will be.

 Major Conflicts

Henry vs. Self: Henry since the beginning of the story sees himself as a monster that doesn't belong. Throughout the story we see him battle with himself as life takes turns that end up horribly. Henry has to experience making Clare not have a baby for some time, because of time traveling. Having his only child be a time traveler. Also he is troubled by the way he sees things happen without being able to do much. 

Henry Vs. Clare: Although this novel we see undeniable love, we also see the pain and struggle that love takes. Clare and Henry are also the biggest examples of that. They argue when Clare wants a baby and Henry can't bring himself to hurt her even more so he has the vasectomy to stop it. The couple also goes through the fear of never seeing each other again as he travels through time and sometime is gone for days even weeks. Yet their love shines and perseveres through everything.

Henry Vs. Father: Henry's father already being a troubled man, suffers and resents his son for is ablity of time travel. He feels disturbed as he knows that his son can go back to the past and see his wife many times yet he cannot.
