What are some good thesis statements that could be written in an essay about "How I Met My Husband" by Alice Munro?

A thesis makes an argument that you intend to prove with evidence from the text. It could legitimately be about all kinds of different topics and still be a solid thesis statement. Is there something specific about the story or the characters that really grabs you and makes you think about something? If that is the case, then formulate your thesis around that idea. If you are coming up blank, then stick with a thesis that does either a theme analysis or a character analysis. More often than not, those two will blend together anyway, as one tends to support the other. For this story, there are definitely themes of love, falling in love, coming of age because of love, falling out of love, and the like; however, I think there's more to the story than simple love and heartbreak. I think at the story's core is a theme of self-deception and reality, or perception vs. reality. The essay could compare and contrast Edie's, Alice's, and even Mrs. Peebles's warped perception of their reality. Perhaps the thesis could be something like the following:
Although the reality of the situation is painfully obvious to readers, both Alice and Edie continually deceive themselves about their relationship with Chris.
