Henry and Roy who both tells a story of their idealistic past, can be grouped together as the ones, who believes in the existence of idealistic love which tends to be fanciful like their own childhood memories. Roy claims that his love is equivalent to “Mozart’s love” which characterises the romance with happy endings. Henry’s depiction of his mother’s devotion has the sense of artificiality, and it’s almost like as if he forces the story upon himself to avoid other alternatives. However unlike Roy Henry understands the contradicting reality in regards to commitment and fidelity “everyone blames women but I forgive them, if they change their love a thousand times a day.. but I think it’s the necessity of women’s heart” Henry is aware and accepts the flaw in the concept of absolute faithfulness. Ruth, who suffers from her inability to distinguish reality from illusion, was a victim of a horrible relationship.
In addition to the confusion surrounding the note Lady Chiltern originally sent to Lord Goring, that Mrs. Cheveley then forwarded in malice to Sir Robert, and that finally unites Sir Robert and Gertrude, there are a variety of stolen conversations and entrances and exits that allow every aspect of the character's lives to find resolution. Clearly, the letter is a very important tool. It represents Lady Chiltern's love for her husband. Originally, she wrote that she needed and wanted Lord Goring, but only so she could speak with him about her troubled marriage, to which she held so dear. Re-sent to Sir Robert, the letter takes on new meaning, and with Lady Chiltern's revelation that she has in fact held her husband on too high of a pedestal, the statements inscribed in it apply directly to him.

In “The Lady with the Dog,” Anton Chekhov explores the theme that love can transform even the most ordinary people and lives into something unique and extraordinary. The character of Dmitri Gurov demonstrates this theme at first when he discovers in his relationship with Anna Sergeevna something new and unexpected. Later in the story, Gurov begins to change his attitude about women when he realizes that he loves Anna and respects her. Finally, Anna and Gurov recognize that their love, rather than give them happiness, ends up making them miserable (Chekhov).

Tom Buchanan and George Wilson By: Charles Tostaine The Great Gatsby was full of metaphors and symbolism along with similar characters that put together the outstanding story. One character, Tom Buchanan, was an intense character by handling his marriage in an improper way. Another character, George Wilson, was similar to Tom but was completely oblivious to his marriage. Although Myrtle threw him around and ordered him to do many things, George loved Myrtle but also had no clue to what his wife was doing.

Hamartia, or tragic flaw is an essential theme of Shakespearean tragedy as it can provide contrast to a previously successful life by contributing to a drastic change of events.

These characters can also be compared to the narrator of Porphyria’s lover whose intense emotions of love become too overwhelming for him to handle. Both Shakespeare and Browning show Elizabethan society as patriarchal, where men were considered to be the leaders and women subservient. Women were regarded as the weaker sex not just in terms of physical strength, but also emotionally. Women were also depicted as kind and caring as well as being the perfect mother and housewife, on the other hand men were portrayed as brave, strong and loyal.
