Desire can be a crude thing. As humans, people are raised to believe it is bad. It often is not good. It causes others to do not what is best for themselves or others, but for what they feel is best, which could be sinful. In the works of Shakespeare’s “Sonnet 129” and Hitchcock’s Notorious, desire for another person is depicted as negative.

Hitchcock portrays their body movements to respond to Alicia’s final straw, Devlin resting his face against hers when they meet and then rising it when she confesses the poison she experiences.

The desire Darcy had for Elizabeth, was not going to ruin any lives. Darcy thought ahead with his future. Shakespeare’s description of desire through contrasts of lust presents its future to be injurious. Hitchcock’s demonstration of desire illustrates itself to be fatal. Yet, Austen’s presents desire to be almost hopeful. Darcy becomes a better person with his great desire for Elizabeth. Desire is expressed in all different forms - a novel, sonnet, and a film.
