    Revered as the culmination of all his work, C.S. Lewis’ Till We Have Faces is the recipient of scholars’ praise and the author’s favoritism. Scholars praise Lewis for his ability to transform a narrow classical myth into a universally applicable story. While this universality owes itself to the fictitious nature of the novel, it is also rooted in the theme of love. In order to fully elucidate the concept of love as he understood it, Lewis published The Four Loves. He first distinguishes between two base forms of love: need-love and gift-love.…

    I have chosen to review the Alberta Ballet’s performance of Love Lies Bleeding for my dance production critique. Preceding the show I had relatively low expectations since I am not an Elton John fan and the show was set to his music and was inspired by his journey. Fortunately, my expectations were surpassed considerably. Love Lies Bleeding was a zestful, dynamic, and alluring theatrical experience unlike no other.…

    Throughout Barbara Frederickson’s Love 2.0, new ways to think and feel about life and love are proposed to the reader. She delves in on love as it relates to us physically and cognitively. Personally, I have always carried the belief that without love, we are not truly alive and thriving, but are instead barely surviving. But when I say love, I’m not talking about the strong love you would feel for a significant other, the filial love between a mother and child, or even that strong love a dog feels for its owner. Instead, I am referring to the smaller instances of love felt within things and moments, the joy felt when just having a cup of coffee with friends, or just laying down on the beach, or just sitting and appreciating nature.…

    Martha Nussbaum, the author of the work, “Love’s Knowledge,” gives various accounts of what it means to love. According to Nussbaum, the first perception of the knowledge of love is the Intellectualist, or the scientific view. This Intellectualist view, which is explained by Nussbaum, says that when trying to learn or gain knowledge, “the passions are never necessary to the grasp of the truth, and are usually pernicious” (Nussbaum 263). Nussbaum is saying that in order for a person to truly comprehend knowledge, one must remove all types of emotions from themselves as these feelings are seen as not necessary and even a corruption of knowledge. She is critical of the scientific view because it asks that the individual remove all emotion when obtaining the knowledge of love, which its self a deep human emotion filled with passion and desire.…

    Social Formations and Their Representations in Society as Seen Through Music This paper will argue that Bessie Smith’s song “Young Woman’s Blues” and The Supremes’ song “Where Did Our Love Go?” exhibit both hegemonic and counter-hegemonic components through their reflections of sexist and racist ideologies that existed during their respective eras. Smith released “Young Woman’s Blues” in 1926 which was during the height of the Harlem Renaissance in which black people were able to create their identities through various forms of music and art. This was also during the time of Jim Crow segregation in which the hegemonic ideology of white supremacy permeated through the institutions of law within the United States. Jim Crow laws continued until the passing of the Civil Rights Act in 1964, which is the same year as the release…

    To begin with, Demi Lovato’s lyrics in “Stone Cold” as well as William Butler Yeats’ in his poem “Never give all the heart” are only alike in the aspects of their themes, speakers, and the device of end rhyme. To begin with, the two pieces share the theme, Heartbreak of Betrayal, as both writers express emotions of the pain that came from their previous relationship. For example, in Lovato’s song, she sings about her past relationship that is now broken due to her partner moving on to another woman. Similar to this, Yeats writes about how women will break the heart of anyone who puts their all into a relationship. Furthermore, another device that these pieces share is the speaker.…

    The poets, Gwen Harwood, Geoff Goodfellow and Judith Wright, all explore the idea of “individuals and those they love” using imagery and form. Through female perspectives, each poet presents how loving another person can cause a conflict of interests, between wanting a fulfilling relationship and the inevitable pain and suffering that accompanies it. Imagery is used to illustrate how daily hardships can overpower an individual’s ability to love people close to them, resulting in conflicted emotions. In both In the Park and Suburban Sonnet, Harwood explores how women can lead mundane and unfulfilling lifestyles following motherhood. In In the Park, the woman loses passion and self-identity, as evidenced by her “out of date” clothing and an almost…
