Emily Bronte published “Love and Friendship” in 1846. Love is a temporary feeling because love is conditioned but friendship is not. Love happens very quickly because when one is in love, it is as beautiful as wild rose briar. However, friendship takes time to build, therefore friendship is strong like holy tree.

Summer is a bright season where happiness is easily to find and there is no such thing as cold and gloomy in the summer. However, in the winter, the weather is unstable and usually is cold and gloomy. Those two seasons represent the feeling of people when love is happiness when there are no struggles, but for somehow, when there are struggles, it is unstable and complicated like winter. Which is different from friendship, “That when December blights thy brow, He may still leave thy garland green.” It gives a visual that no matter how dark or how cold the weather is, the holy tree will never die and it will stay strong as it is in the summer. It is like love and friendship, when love is happiness when there are no struggles, however, it is hard to find someone that willing to stay during the struggles and survived until happiness comes. Unlike friendship that last for years and even the hardest struggles, true friends will never leave until one became
