In both Dean’s and Jones’ retellings, this certainly is the case as the relationship and power balance between their Janet and Tam Lin characters changes and shifts drastically at this point in the narrative of both novels. In Dean’s Tam Lin, the initial…

Every so often it’s common to hear people talk about the qualities of the potential soulmate they want to be with. They say all the beautiful traits and quite honestly it is fair to wish for the best.

making, the error of his ways, but he’s too stubborn to admit defeat, which is why he will keep arguing for his point of view.

His inner circle isn’t above this treatment, but the stubbornness they receive varies, depending on the individual. For example, Bunny and Illarion see the mildest form of it (determined to…

states, Does Fetty Wap not invite his beloved into the spaces he claims to be most sacred? (I’ve had to explain what a “’Bando” is to many people in many discussions of this song. At this point, I will politely ask the uninformed to Google it.) The romance here is so overwhelming that much of America has turned a blind eye to the fact that the entire theme of this anthem is rooted in the creation and distribution of illegal drugs. The author uses his social aspects and evaluation of the music,…

spill their seed into me, Emilia—seed from a thousand lands, passed down through generations of ancestors, with genealogies that cover the surface of the globe. And I simply lie still there in the darkness, taking them all into me; I close my eyes and in the dark of my mind—oh, how I travel!”…

True Perspective True understanding is earned after a true bond is formed and it changes your perspective to only see love unlike a stranger who only views hate. Throughout the novel this concept is manifest; not only in George and Lennie's long friendship but in every character we are introduced to. The theme revolves around the fact knowing a man well will never lead to hate and the closer you are the harder it is to judge upon them with anything else but love. Closeness impacts how we see…

In the poem ‘First Love’, since the poet Clare uses 1st person in his writing, we could assume he’s talking about his own experience and which in this poem is about his ‘first love’. At the beginning of the poem, Clare gives us a pessimistic thought about love as he uses words such as ‘struck’, ‘sudden’ and ‘stole’ to convey love in a violent manner. These words intimate love has hit him hard and he has fallen in love with Mary Joyce (his first love) at first sight. The word ‘stole’ suggests…

Hermia tells him that he should not lie so close and should go to sleep further away “Nay, good Lysander. For my sake, my dear, Lie further off yet. Do not lie so near” (Shakespeare 11).
