Love Story

The Story of Layla and Majnun, a love story to be known for centuries. The story that creates its own specification about love and depicts the epitome of true love. As readers flip through Nizami’s eloquent narration of the story, they get the sense of love and its odd, yet enticing duality through imagery and metaphors. Nizami presents a myriad of opposing images that complement each other well. Images such as the sun and moon, poison and pure water, and roses and thorns. On first look these…

Every day, we come across love in our culture. We are surrounded by it. It is in our movies, novels, poems, and they all celebrate it as if it is all that we need. We have come to expect love to be the cure-all for all of our life’s problems, which often leads to our relationships suffering. The three short stories, “That Color” by Jon McGregor, “Reunion” by Edward Mullany, and “The Ache” by Elena Bossi, all tell the same story: love is not enough. There are other aspects of relationships that…

This ridiculously adorable commercial tells a story of two high school sweethearts who end up getting engaged by the end of the ad. The love story starts out as a cliché of a…

Love is a common theme in many narratives, however, writers who use this theme as a tool in the progression of their stories tend to cling to it’s cliché and typical form. Howard Fast, on the other hand, in his warped account of a slave revolt in ancient Rome, titled Spartacus, uses love in a more unconventional manner. His main characters all experience and react differently to love which creates, in a sense, a spectrum of the various kinds of love. For the purposes of this paper, we will focus…

Unrequited love can possibly be one of the most excruciatingly painful things one can endure. In high school my best friend John was “in love” with Jaylene Martinez, a mutual friend of ours. I was his “wingman” so I followed his story fairly closely. When I look back at the situation from a social psychological standpoint as a “wingman” I could saved John a lot of heat break. The story starts like most cliches. Guy sees girl, falls hopelessly in love but girl has a boyfriend. John was in love…

My Love Story My love story began on February 10, 2012. Prior to that, I had absolutely no intentions of ever-loving anyone with such intensity as I do now. My world suddenly became a peaceful place, knowing I now had something to live for. Previous to that I had no ambition to still be here, or at least, so I theorized. It was about May 2011, I found out my aunt was pregnant. Like I felt something inside me come alive again. I felt deserted growing up raising myself and my younger sister.…

literature in which mothers and daughters don’t have the best relationship. In Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s book Arranged Marriage there are two stories that stood out to me with this particular theme. In both “The Word Love” and “The Maid Servant’s Story” uneasy relationships between mother and daughter cause distance and pain for both. In the story “The Word Love” the narrator is living with a man in which her foreboding mother does not know, and she does not allow the man whom she is…
