When we precisely think of passion we think of love, devotion, and excitement. Passion, according to Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary, can be defined as a strong liking or desire for or devotion to some activity, object, or concept. Initially, when we see two spouses kiss and show affection towards one another, we admire the passion and love that they have for one another. Also, throughout the years my parents, mentors, and teachers all encouraged me to pursue my passion and go after my “dream” job…

In the novel Great Expectations the author presents many different forms of love and different approaches to love through various characters such as Estella who communicates distant love to Pip, Miss Havisham who displays selfish love and as well as Pip who learns what love is and how to love throughout the novel.

I think in the story, “Two Friends”, friendship was presented more realistically because of the events that happened in the story. I thought the story “Damon and Pythias” didn’t show a realistic approach to friendship because of how Damon didn’t hesitate and trusted his life to Pythias. Although it’s nice that they deeply care for each other, the part where they would die for each other was too exaggerated. In “Two Friends”, the way Morissot and Sauvage act around each other shows that they’re…

What is love? Love is the romantic attachment to another person. It is the warm butterflying feeling that lifts the spirit. An individual care more about that person than themselves. It is filled with compassion and appreciation. There multiple layers to love, but the most profound is true love. A true love is the individual that completes the other’s soul. They are one of a kind because they are the missing piece in one’s life. If apart from this person, there is no need to stay alive because…

At the end of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, the characters end up with something they weren’t seeking despite the happy marriages because the characters push aside their original feelings. Orsino’s undying love for Olivia vanishes at the end of the play when he marries Viola at the drop of a hat. Olivia’s love for Viola or “Cesario” is disregarded when she marries Sebastian. Malvolio wants Olivia’s affection but he truly desires a higher social ranking. Spontaneity is part of love's irrationality…

People say love is a feeling that one could describe in many ways. A person can love someone for his/her looks, personality, sense of humor, how fit he/she is--but when does his name become a factor of if one loves another or not? Writer Owen Wilson claims “Love is the soul's recognition of its counterpoint in another.” One does not typically prefer to date someone with the name John, rather than Dylan, for example. Usually, a person will say a name does not matter when it comes to loving…

In Timothy Findlay's the wars, Robert Ross's journey of love, loss and war resembles a parody of romance. When someone thinks parody, they think of mimicking or imitating to criticize an initial piece of work. A parody can neutrally illuminate and/or simply comment upon a piece of work without necessarily mocking it. In this case, we see a parody of the typical romance; a strong male, a damsel in distress or perhaps some sort of wealth and the long fighting journey he takes to get to his goal.…

What are the insane sacrifices people make for love and what are the consequences? In “ The Gift of the Magi” written by O.Henry and “ The Bass,the River, and Sheila Mant” written by W.D. Wetherell, the authors show society’s view of love and individual's view of love. In “ The Gift of the Magi” the main conflict is that they both want to buy each other gifts but they can not afford them.The conflict is resolved when they both sell something of their own to buy each other gifts. In “ The…

Have you ever desired to have something or someone so badly that you would do anything to have it? For example, in the movie Shrek, Shrek had a desire for Princess Fiona so badly that he did anything and everything to be with her. Well, when I think about love and what a person would do for love two stories come to mind, and they are "Pyramus and Thisbe" by Ovid and Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. These characters in the story have many obstacles, barriers, and limitation that tried to…
