The Red Trenchcoat

The red coat signifies the years of marriage that the two people in the video have been involved in.  The attachment of the woman to the coat is similar to the attachment of the man to his wife. Although the woman would say every year that she would throw the coat away and get a new one, she would always find herself holding on to the coat for another season.  This is a lot like the way the man decides to hang on to his wife and now leave her. He is attached to her, and for some reason other than love, he decides to keep her around.  And by keeping her around, his love for her grows.  Courtly love is one of the only things holding this marriage together.  He loves her because he feels that he is obligated to, not because the feeling is still there.
