Ministry of Love

The myth of love I would like to use for this report comes from the movie When Harry Met Sally. The movie is a romantic comedy that portrays a relationship between a man (Harry) and a woman (Sally) who realized that they both maintain opposite point of views on life, especially relationship between men and women. Harry maintains his belief that it isn’t possible for a men and woman to be friends while Sally argues otherwise. Throughout the movie they both portray different approaches on the…

her poem A Certain Lady, she 's doing it because society expects her to - but this essay will argue that she 's also doing so out of paid obligation. At first glance, 'what goes on while (you 're) away / you 'll never know ' seems like unrequited love between friends, specifically the feelings that she has for him, but this is not the case. Certain lines in the poem discuss themes of emotional detachment, obligation and promiscuity – typical of what readers would expect of someone who lives a…

Humans are flawed; humans lie, cheat, steal, and for all of their good qualities always have issues. These character traits aren’t specific to a single person, everyone has them. People are also filled with love, compassion, kindness, and all sorts of other things that make them nothing short of amazing. My cousin Triston played an amazing role in my life before he passed away prematurely, but the impact he had has shaped me into who I am today. Triston had his faults like all of us, but he had…

Phaedrus believed that Love was the eldest of the Gods, and that made him the mightiest. His viewpoint on love is that when a person falls in love he/she should do anything to make the object of their love happy. I still believe that his theory on love can be applied to the modern day, now more so than before. As Phaedrus explains, Chaos is the only god that is older than Love. That makes sense because after Chaos, Love is needed to get things back on track. The world now is full of…

and walked downstairs, as she continued towards the kitchen she felt the smell of eggs tickle her nose and could hear the sizzling of bacon. She began to wonder how life could get any better, until she realized today was the choosing day. She was in love with Luke. He was tall, muscular with soul seeking eyes, and a heart of gold. Some of the other men her mother and father had in mind were very…

How love alters characters in Much ado about nothing. In Much Ado about nothing, love is explored through the depiction of the different types of relationships. Shakespeare contrasts loyalty and brotherly love to romantic love and instant love, under the umbrella of the Messina community. The biggest change in attitude as a result of love is Benedick and Beatrice’s change in relationship and ideas about marriage. The play uses comic techniques such as metaphor and hyperbole to exaggerate the…

themselves. Rarely, do they get to play a role other than the obedient housewife, or the emotional girlfriend. Strong female protagonists, despite their scarcity, do exist. But even the strongest women often turn into love struck, bashful little girls when they meet and fall in love with a man, and the rebellious red headed little mermaid is no exception. The little mermaid’s change of character is far more obvious in Disney’s version of the tale. While the original little mermaid is quiet and…

contrasting style between tenderness and brutality. The term “love letters” has connotations of tenderness, adoration, loyalty, deep, soft feelings of warmth and goodness of human nature. But as seen throughout the poem, the father is a desperate, depressed man who is more accurately described as pleading for his wife’s return. In the letters, the father would “beg, / Promising to never beat her / Again.” (lines 7-9). Komunyakaa uses the term “love letter” as a foil to enhance the contrasting…

In both Tim Burton’s Edward Scissorhands (1990) and Corpse Bride (2005), the characters were relatively ‘different’ from those that they were surrounded by, therefore making them strange and considerably odd in the eyes of people they came in contact with- there was sympathy, pity, indifference, sacrifice, attraction, jealously, repulsion, understanding, fear, and prejudice surrounding both these characters as they discovered the real world. Both films are extremely fairytale-like, which…
