Unrequited love

Language”, “If it is possible to cut out a word, always cut it out”(p. 182). Thus, I chose the passages in the sentence task for revision and extension part, both of them were the analysis of love poems. One paragraph is the analysis of William Butler Yeats’ love poem, another is the analysis of Anthony Ma’s love poem (SHEN, 2016, par. 1). I hope through the revision, the analysis could be concise with fewer and shorter words but clearly conveys my meaning. Additionally, the passages did not…

that the power of love seems to make people do crazy things for no reason other than a magical force somehow controls them. This magical force that seems to existing through all these poems, is known as love. Poets in all eras in history have tried to have a reasonable explanation for this occurrence but they never seem to be able to find an explanation. As we start to look at Roman poetry, the author Ovid’s rationalization of love seems to be a man’s attempt to overcome the love of a puella,…

novelists often focus on a melodramatic and idealistic story of adolescents falling in love, consequently depicting young love inaccurately. Guided by selfish desire, adolescent love is fervent and destructive, unlike mature love which is willing to change and compromise. Novelists scarcely craft successful stories on the darker aspects of adolescent love, with Emily Brontë being one of the fortunate few. Capturing first love as it is: childish, messy and undoubtedly foolish, Brontë depicts a…

central characters go through the struggles of unrequited love in a humourous and melodramatic fashion. One of the main reasons for such struggles is the use of disguise by one of the parties involved, namely Viola. In Viola’s dramatic soliloquy, found in lines 14-41 of Act 2 scene 2, Shakespeare employs tone, diction, and literary devices, such as personification, to explain how her disguise has conjured up conflict in the form of a complicated love triangle. At the beginning of this passage,…

I will always believe in true love no matter how many times I have my heart broken. I go into a relationships telling myself I won’t fall in love, but I do it anyway. The power love has on people is highly underestimated. You can’t help who you fall in love with, so I don’t know why anyone tries to force or deny love. There is a delicate balance of cynicism and trust that can only be achieved through true love. If you have ever been in love, you know it is the most intoxicating, gratifying,…

draws on pop-culture images such as those from Miami Vice, which depicted both urban glamour and crime. Luhrmann clearly distinguishes the downtown area from the beach. He associates the city with the violence of the feud and the idyllic beach with love and peace. Luhrmann chooses a modern city as the setting for his film adaptation of Romeo and Juliet to present a chaotic urban world familiar to a 20th-century cinema audience. The media coverage of the feud makes the play's events familiar to a…

romance, the play presents a clash between the life of “the painted pomp”, the “envious court”; and the simple ways of the forest. The play upholds the theme of love and presents it in its varied forms. The love made of “All adoration, duty, and observance, All humbleness” as in case of the other romantics is put to ridicule with the bawdy love of Touchstone-Audrey. The contrast between characters adds to the theme and humour of the play. There is a play between reality and appearance as seen…
