John Singer always put his hand on his friend’s arm and looked for a second into his face before leaving him. Because McCullers was the prisoner of the grotesque, she chooses for her fictional world people with the misfits, the ugly and the abnormal. When Singer and Antonopoulos are together Singer would eagerly talk gesticulating with his hands about all that is moving in his mind and Antonopoulos would recline on bed, placid and indolent. He seldom moves his hands to speak and when he does it…

“A mean submissive passion is conveyed” when passionate love usurps Angellica’s pride (Behn, 5.1.279). With this imagery, Angellica expresses her upset at her heart’s betrayal of feeling love towards Wilmore. The word “mean” demonstrates a harsh and relentless perception of how love wrongs her; it forces her to relinquish her independency and pride by making her submit to that passion. Love thus tyrannizes Angellica and creates a sour interpretation of the idiom “Love conquers all.” With this…

Thomas Merton once said, “Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone - we find it with another.” This means that sometimes us humans don’t know what we are meant for in life, until we know who we are meant for in life. So on the occasion in which two people who are meant to be with each other don’t get the privilege of being with each other, they might not know what life could have in store for them. That is the unfortunate case in Romeo and Juliet. It’s no…

THE INTUITIVE BOND BETWEEN KEATS AND BATALVI A born-romantic, lonely and passionate singer, like Keats and Shelley, Batalvi had a intuition of his untimely doom : "This lyric of mine took birth with me, And with me it's to sojourn to Heaven. I'll sing my own song and depart the next dawn." Lovelorn poet Batalvi, physically also resembled Keats. And almost all his lyrics were addressed to some "La Belle Dame Sans Merci." During his…
