Do you know 'Death of Salesman'?
It's a play written by Arthur Miller.
I'm reading it in the original.
But I don't understand this sentence.
=================================================
She more than loves him, she admires him, as though his mercurial nature, his temper, his massive dreams and little cruelties, served her only as sharp reminders of the turbulent longings within him, longings which she sheres but lacks the temperament to utter and follow to their end.
=================================================
Can you explain it with easier sentences?

Love isn't the only feeling she feels for him. She admires him, as though his behavior that is always changing and his big dreams and the mean things he does were only there to remind her of the desires that he has. She has these same desires, but it isn't in her nature to say and do these things.

She loves him, no she admires him. As though his nature, his temper, his big dreams were reminders of how much she needs him. A need that she only shares with him but lacks the will to ask why he is like that and she will follow him to the end.


was that good enough? I read this play myself and watched the movie!! I love it!!
