Romeo is a reserved, serious, self-absorbed romantic. His intense emotion drives him and, in love, he is a victim of rash youth. At the beginning of the play, Romeo is overcome with self-pity because Rosalind does not share his love: “Doth add more grief to too much of mine own” (Act 1, scene 1). However, Romeo is an emotional yo-yo and soon rises from the depths of depression when he meets Juliet at a masked ball and instantly falls madly in love with her “O she doth teach the torches to burn bright” (Act 1, scene 5). His personality is characterised by extreme mood-swings.
Source 1 also strongly emphasises the fact that Charles was ‘short’ and had a ‘stammer’ whereas Source 2 shows no knowledge of this. Charles being short led to him being shy as he had much insecurity which made led him to having a weak personality which caused a breakdown in relationship between crown and parliament. Overall, the views in Source 2 do not differ very much than compared to those in source
Christian sees a kind, sincere, and an exceptionally gorgeous Roxane and immediately falls in love with her at first sight. Though Christian’s love for Roxane may not be very deep or complex like Cyrano’s, it is still genuine love unlike De Guiche’s “love” for Roxane. I perceive Christian as being a sincere and thoughtful man that has no wit or eloquence when it comes to confessing his love for Roxane; so much so he requires the help of Cyrano to speak for him, literally. The scenes that Christian and Roxane share are comedic and at the same time very tragic. It is very unfortunate because Christian is so sincere for his love of Roxane, but he is also so
Sir Gawain is approached by the Host’s wife in a flirtatious manner, causing Sir Gawain’s virtue of chastity to be tested. Cunning as he is, Sir Gawain passes with flying colors and is able to convince her of his respect and admiration: “I shall kiss at your command, as becomes a knight,” (III. 1303). Sir Gawain later states that the Host’s wife is “bound to a better man” (III. 1276), a statement that demonstrates how courteous he is even though he is placed in an awful situation.
He is saying that is might not be wise for loving him, but he swears it won’t be stupid for he is going to be “horribly” in love with her. The word choice of “horribly” emphasizes a sense of awkwardness because he doesn’t know the first thing when it comes to love. It also gives a bit of that comical side to Benedick’s character, even in the name of love, he still can’t forget about the competition between him and Beatrice.
But at the same time Gatsby can always just be in love with her because she’s high society. Daisy is lighty shallow. Gatsby could say he loves her but at the say time he can think he loves her or he can say that he’s in love with
She realises she has been wrong in reading the signs of three men, that Mr Martin and Harriet are good for each other, and starts to judge people less on class and more on personality. Though her ultimate realisation is that she loves Mr Knightly “she saw it all with a clearness that has never blessed her
However, emotionally, socially, and behaviorally he yearns for friendship and close relations as every human being would. He even creates imaginary friends to keep the loneliness away. He can sense the notion of love, and does so without knowing what it is, although he has no one to love him back. Grendel and the humans share a common language, but the humans’ disgust and fear of Grendel precludes any actual meaningful exchange. Grendel’s torture is even more painful because he is so close to the humans and yet always kept away at a distance.
Generally, love stories follow a specific pattern; the characters meet, they fall in love and they live happy ever after. Dagberto Gilb’s short story “Love in L.A.” by no means follows this specific pattern, however most real life love stories do not follow this pattern either. The stereo typicality and description of the characters as well as the setting, are what make the realism in the story stem through. Rarely do we see a handsome, well-mannered man with his white horse and shinning armour. Usually we find a dishonest, self-absorbed “player”.
He is attracted by Daisy’s grace and charm, but blinds her shortcomings. Gatsby reveals himself to be an innocent hopeful young man who stakes everything on his dreams, without the realization that his dreams are unworthy. “He gives Daisy an idealistic perfection
