How do Eve's feelings about love transform over the course of the motion picture, All About Eve?

Margo Channing tries to find a balance throughout the entire film. In the beginning, she loves Bill, but she is unable to truly admit that love, because of her fear that he will try to keep her from working. Margo has no desire to lose her independence or career, although Bill has no intention of asking her to make those sacrifices.

Finally, Margo admits that she loves Bill, and they decide to get married. Although she loves the theater, she finally realizes that she is missing out on life. Margo agrees to continue performing for a while, but eventually she wants to quit altogether, so that she can enjoy her new love and maybe someday a family of her own.
