Unrequited love

Passion, love, and desire encourage transgression, which eventually leads to Gretchen’s death sentence in Goethe’s Faust and Catherine Sr.’s and Isabella’s death from fever in Brontë’s Wuthering Heights. The women have passions for passion and desires to be desired that they discover through their involvement in forbidden romantic relationships with the male protagonists. Goethe’s Gretchen acts well-behaved until she becomes tempted by the beauty of “such jewels! [A] rich array” (I.2791), and…

In both versions a young woman named Viola makes a choice that effects many of the people around her. Even though her situation is slightly different in both film and play, it’s the choice she makes to hide her identity that brings her into many interesting, and challenging situations of making people fall in and out of love. The…

the image of Native American’s being segregated from the community and almost isolating themselves leading to them only attempting to be around their race. In ‘What We Talk About When We Talk About Love’ the image of needing to be accompanied rises as Terri, in the story, goes to the extremes of love. In ‘Janus’ the thought of attachment because of dissatisfaction eventually leading to loneliness gives an idea of the seriousness of self. In ‘The Lottery’, the idea of loneliness surfaces as the…

The 17th Century was a glorious time for art, a time when Love with a capital L was being thrown around and cherished as the end-all be-all of what literature is about. To some extent, I do agree with this. Now, during this time, there were a plethora of male playwrights, poets, and “lovers.” There were hardly far and few between. This is something I find to be strange seeing as modern day art consumers are more or less women. This alone is the reason I decided to look into a female playwright…

beautiful women who he immediately felt in love with, he becomes a tame less beast himself and fights Terkoz, an ape, to death.

The Kaleidoscope Love is a simple word with a complex meaning. Love can either bring about the happiest, most exuberating moments or the most depressing, chaotic time in a person’s life.

Everyone manages to find love in one form or another;…

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…

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…
