Variety in a Small Space

In Wendy Cope's Lonely Hearts, there is an underlying theme.  Although all these advertisements are from people in North London, there appears to he a wide variety of people in the region.  There are ads for a "gay vegetarian whose friends are few" and someone who is "successful, straight, and solvent," (Cope, 973).  This exaggerates the differences in some people.  Humans are an interesting species, because they have such diversity in their behaviors and desires.  Yet throughout the ads, there remains one phrase, and one desire.  "Can Someone make my simple wish come true?  Do you live in North London?  It it you?"  All the people, no matter how unique there true desires are, are seeking happiness and love.  Most all humans are eternally in the pursuit of true happiness.  The one true desire of a person is companionship and happiness.
