As the Beatles would say, money cannot buy love. Love cannot be for sale and thus, love is a priceless emotion. The marriage between Daisy and Tom Buchannan in Fitzgerald’s novel, The Great Gatsby, gives evidence to this fact. Daisy decided to marry Tom due to society views, lifestyle factors, and money stability. Although she loved Gatsby, the brutal reality flashed upon her eyes and forced her to stay together with Tom until the very end of the novel and possibly, beyond.
While the eldest daughters, Regan and Goneril, falsely declare endless love which allows them no other joy but their father – and in return receive one third of his lavish kingdom – Cordelia honestly relays that she has ‘nothing’ to say, and upon further persuasion maintains ‘I love you according to my bond; no more, no less’. This angers Lear, who leaves her none of the kingdom and refuses to accept the value of the honesty of Cordelia’s reply over the lies which constitute his other daughters’ replies, despite advice from loyal servants. Lear insists he ‘have no such daughter’ after this response; a very intense reaction to her simple insistence not to spin lies to afford personal gain. This portrayal of family relationships positions the audience to empathise with Cordelia’s quiet but genuine love because we are exposed to thoughts in sidenotes which the rest of the characters can’t hear, such as ‘my love’s more ponderous than my tongue’ which explains her idea of love to the audience – an idea which opposes her father’s. Unlike Lear, Shakespeare positions the audience to realise the calculated nature
Joe Whittle Mrs. Dutton AP Lang/Comp 9 January 2013 Nancy Mairs is mentally resilient and passionate. She refuses to oblige in the society’s way of feeling conscience-stricken for those who are unfortunate, as in her case.

The word choice employed by any writer can interpret or conceal any of the author's motives or secrets.
She covers her face, weeping. (137) Elizabeth reveals to Proctor that she could never learn to love herself first which is why she could never learn how to love Proctor properly. She also expresses how no one can judge Proctor but himself. In order to love someone else, you have to learn how to love yourself first. Elizabeth in the past would not let go of the affair but that was because she was being stubborn in the situation.
“work without hope draws nectar in a sieve.” This means that work needs a motivation or hope. Otherwise no one would work. “Hope without an objective cannot live.” This means that hope can only survive if it has something to return and hope needs a person, otherwise hope wouldnt exist. In the story, Irawaddy has no hope because she cannot produce any sons, she stops working or doing anything. As soon as Kuti arrives, Ira starts treating the baby as if it were her own child.
Gods feared that because of her beauty, jealousy would disrupt the peace among them leading to war. Therefore Zeus married her to Hephaestus. Being the God of technology, blacksmith craftsmen, artisans, sculptures, metals, metallurgy, fire, and volcanoes did not pose a threat. Aphrodite never appeared to have a childhood, in every image and each reference she is born as an adult, nubile, and infinitely desirable. Aphrodite, in many myths involving her, is deemed as vain,
The Madness that is Abigail Williams: Her Intentions in The Crucible “How hard it is when pretense falls! But it falls, it falls!” With these chilling and ominous words, Abigail’s twisted sense of revenge rings hollow in Arthur Miller’s terrifying play, The Crucible. A masterpiece of its time, The Crucible brings forth the true horrors man is capable of: deception and vengefulness. No character presents these values as well as Abigail, whose lust and heartbreak for John Proctor results in a homicidal goose chase. Because of her hate towards Proctor’s wife, Elizabeth, Abigail creates demented tales, directed at abolishing the “problem.” Though Abigail’s wild canards seem quite obtuse in civilization today, at the time her acts fell to justification.

She knows that something is up and when she tries to warn Caesar he just ignores her. While she strives for perfection many other people try to warn Caesar but he is just too strong-minded to believe anyone including Calpurnia.
I want to live- with a husband and children- without killing them. My heart yearns for the love lost. There is nobody to hear my soulless cries, nobody who could lend me a shoulder to cry on, no love and certainly no life. I am Sulochna- but that doesn’t matter, because above that, I am a VISHKANYA. And that is my only identity.
