Everlasting Love "My bounty is as boundless as the sea, my love as deep; the more I give to thee the more I have, for both are infinite" (Shakespeare). True love is infinite. Though Robert Burn's poem "A Red, Red Rose" focuses on the joy of being in love and Edgar Allan Poe's poem "Annabel Lee" addresses the disconsolateness of losing the one whom he loves, both poems utilize diction to clearly illustrate that love lasts beyond a lifetime. First, Robert Burns delineates the longevity of love…

constantly searching for it in their lives. This “thing” is called love, and it is a powerful feeling that many strive to be able to experience. The United States is a powerful country, and so as a result, many are relatively well off. With money not being an issue for some people, many then try to focus on finding love in their life, and for those that are not as well of, love can be the only thing that they can cling to. For some, love is an essential part of the “American Dream”, and it…

Psychology Of Love My definition of the self from the first day of class must be revised every time I learn and research more about the human-self. This revision is no exception bemuse of my research into the psychology of love. The human emotion of love is the unavoidable necessity that every human will experience at least once in his/her life. Love influences the way we think, act, and our everyday decisions without us even recognizing its impact on our lives. These decisions and their…

The Faces of Love William Shakespeare’s “A Mid-Summer Night’s Dream” is, like many of his works, a play whose theme is centralized around love. In this particular play Shakespeare approaches love from several different angles or different types of love. There is a paternal love like that of Egeus and his daughter Hermia or even between Titania and the changeling child she cares so much for. The reader also experiences marital love as between Theseus and Hippolyta as well as the love of Oberon…

The topic of loyalties and where they lie is a reoccurring theme in Shakespeare’s Much Ado about Nothing; be it alliances between gender, age or couple groups. In this play we see the effects of loyalty- and the lack thereof- in love through Benedick and Beatrice, as well as Claudio and Hero. Although both pairs claim to be in love at the end, Beatrice and Benedick’s relationship is built on much more solid ground than that of Claudio and Hero, as they had known each other for quite some time…

Collier is saying that love is not easy, and not worth it if it is not real. Based on the the text “The Chaser” he would agree with the quote, “The only thing worse than a boy that hates you: a boy that loves you.” by Markus Zusak from The Book Thief. I think he would agree because the way he portrays Alan it shows he thinks that love is annoying and hard to deal with when you do not love the person back and they want to make you love them but you just do not want to. “Give one tiny measure…

“Joyas Voladoras” by Brian Doyle and “Liking is for Cowards. Go for What Hurts” by Jonathan Franzen both describe how people love. Both Franzen and Doyle explore the topic of love by relating to nature. In “Joyas Voladoras”, Brian Doyle talks about how even though we try so hard to build up walls around our hearts, but “down it comes in an instant, felled by a woman’s second glance, a child’s apple breath, the shatter of glass in the road, the words ‘I have something to tell you’, a cat with a…

travel across the mind, it’s flirtatious, lust or love at first sight. The gentle touch on the shoulder, warm embraces feel the heart, the gentle and warm breath that lands so softly on the cheek from the face to face eye gazing, these are the beginnings of erotic moments that can lead to a lifetime of love. In the epic of “Gilgamesh” translated by Foster and the biblical story of David and Jonathan in “The Men of Color Study Bible”, we learn about their first encounter, their ongoing…
