Theme Of Love By Nicholas Sparks

Improved Essays
When you are truly, madly and deeply in love, you stay in love with that other person without second guessing your future with them. It is not a love that is there for a month or two and then it disappears randomly but it is a love that is there unconditionally. In the fiction novel by Nicholas Sparks, there are various possibilities of themes, but the most explicit theme of this novel is that true love is forever and it can have a tremendous impact on one’s heart and the feeling towards someone for the rest of their life. So, when the main characters, Amanda Collier and Dawson Cole, finally see each other after 21 years, the hair on their arms stick straight up and their hearts skips a few beats when they made complete eye contact; making …show more content…
Before, when Amanda arrived back home, her mind was mainly focused on Dawson Cole. How can she still think about him when she is at home with her husband and children? As she continues to think about talking to Frank about her feeling towards Dawson, she realizes that divorcing Frank would make her life better. The true love that she has just will not go away. The separation that they have will not break the connection that they have. Distance is nothing compared to a love that can improve someone’s life. When Amanda’s son, Jared, is in need of a heart transplant, the man that is still in love with Amanda did her a favor. Dawson Cole gave Amanda Collier the very best of him, and that for sure, was his heart. He donated his heart to her son so that he could live his young life. And while she finds out what Dawson had did, she also received a written letter from Cole which explains his feelings towards her. If you can only love one person for the rest of your life, that shows something about you and your character. Unique love is the main way to explain the love that the two teenagers have for each other. That love always been special for them and will never just walk up and leave their hearts. For Dawson, it is easy to love Amanda, and Amanda only. Although, it is a different story for Amanda. She was forced to move on without Cole and that is what she did. …show more content…
There are symbols in this novel to show their love. For example, the diction that Sparks used to explain the way they look at each other every day, and even the way they thought in their own mind about each other. It explicitly states that Dawson, like Tuck, was one of those rare people who could love only once, and separation had only made his feelings grow stronger towards his very first love. However, for Dawson, there had been no other choice. Love, after all, always said more about those who felt it than it did about the ones they

    These days, many romantic poems, movies and books tell tales of one person loving another in which those feelings are not returned. We often see ourselves within the characters of these stories, which is what makes them so appealing. In our current era, unrequited love is still a greatly utilised theme in many books, such as “Dear John.” Nicholas Sparks writes, “I finally understood what true love meant…love meant that you care for another person’s happiness more than your own, no matter how painful the choices you face might be.” This quote very much relates to the characters in the play, “Twelfth Night” written by William Shakespeare.…

    “Love is Not All” is a sonnet written by Edna St. Vincent Millay regarding a personal message directing the question of value and intensity of genuine love. This fourteen-line sonnet exploits both Shakespearean and Petrarchan sonnet designs. In most Shakespearean sonnets, the turn takes place between the twelfth and thirteenth lines, but the turn in “Love is Not All” does not. Millay’s poem shows a turn after the octave (happens in Petrarchan sonnets), making it a split into two cases or topics. The first eight lines, or octave, introduces that love is not all it is sought out to be, whereas the last six lines, or the sestet, shows a new thought and the speaker’s feelings regarding love.…

This love is obviously obtained without a love potion, but, in his story “The Chaser” he is demonstrating that love can be bought, but in the end, will not work out at all.…
