Reading C.S Lewis' writing on affection was incredibly enlightening for me. What surprised me the most was not only that his insight was not only philosophical but also that his insight was very theological and practical. C.S Lewis claimed that "Affection" is the humblest and most widely diffused of loves, which portrays the least difference that of the animals. In fact, it is so humble and diffused that it gives itself no airs as Lewis himself says. Although "Affection" has its own criteria, C…

If anything could revitalize an interest in CW's The Flash it's a giant, evil, telepathic gorilla. After last week's battle with Zoom, Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) is wheelchair bound after a spinal injury that would have permanently crippled any regular human being. Eerily reminiscent of Barry's mentor from season one, Harrison Wells (Tom Cavanagh), Barry finds himself in a state of helplessness and self-loathing after being publicly defeated by the earth-jumping Zoom. Going into this week's…

Collier is saying that love is not easy, and not worth it if it is not real. Based on the the text “The Chaser” he would agree with the quote, “The only thing worse than a boy that hates you: a boy that loves you.” by Markus Zusak from The Book Thief. I think he would agree because the way he portrays Alan it shows he thinks that love is annoying and hard to deal with when you do not love the person back and they want to make you love them but you just do not want to. “Give one tiny measure…

Although this generates comedy through the slander and degrading of characters not the contrast in appearance and reality. However, film adaptations of the play can interpret the nature of Beatrice’s insults to Benedick and present that she is deceiving herself about her true feelings towards him. The audience can see this and is able to watch with anticipation and amusement as the revelation of the reality of true feelings between the two characters unfold. Her reference to Benedick and Cupid…

Ideal couple, gender and honour and marriage Hero and Claudio are very much the ideal couple in the Elizabethan period, hero a convention dutiful lady and Claudio a young Elizabethan lord who is romantic and falls in love at first sight.

The Romeo and Juliet 1968 version is a movie you should watch if you are a new Shakespearean learner. This movie shows and demonstrates almost everything that you would feel if, you were to see Shakespeare put on a play. In my opinion the chemistry between all of the characters was phenomenal. It made me feel as if I was apart of the movie and saw all of this unfold in Verona. Also the comic relief that the Nurse and Mercutio supplied was phenomenal in my perspective. Also finally the locations…

A perfect example of the hero journey is Disney Hercules. In this movie The calling to adventure (which also has the Atonement of the father intertwined) is when he discovers that he's the son of Zeus. Which prompts him to want to become as his Father is,a God, and live on Olympus like his father as well. This can also be interpreted as the atonement of the Father. Campbell suggest that the image of god is an archetype of the father and a source of power. In this case this is extremely literal…

“Love is the only thing that lets us see each other with the remotest accuracy,” was a quote stated by Martha Beck. This quote conveys that with love comes the ability to be able to truly know a person or object. The ability to do this comes with times of analyzation. For example, when you decide you truly love that outfit you wore you came to that conclusion by analyzing the texture, color, style and in general all of it; without these judgements you wouldn’t have been able to reach that…
