Gatsby worked extremely hard to gain his wealth and it all payed off in the end. The idea of finding love is something that everyone looks forward to and tries to accomplish.

From here, we can figure out that the Garden of love is a metaphor for a woman, or Blake’s character’s love. In the first stanza, Blake’s character demonstrates familiarity of the Garden when he says, “Where I used to play on the green.” The words “used to” and “play” explains that he probably knew the Garden in his younger years because many grown up men do not usually “play” anymore. The author wants readers to know this because this poem resembles how love hopes to be rediscovered. Blake’s character wants to believe that his love still holds a place for him, but in reality, everything that once was, has now vanished. Many problems prevent Blake’s character from reconnecting with his lover of the past.

Like the "virgins," the roses are buds which are fresh, youthful and full of life, being youthful, like life however is challenging with many decisions to be made. The poem shows that life is short and life is such that one day one experiences joy which is suggested in the line “And this same flower that smiles today” and the next day death symbolized by the setting of the sun and the line “tomorrow will be dying”. Again this relates back to the thesis that change can happen rapidly or it could take years even

Cosi The particular aspect of love that is the focus of the play is fidelity; the notion of faithfulness, commitment and loyalty. The play explores many aspects of love, the characters present slightly different perspectives, some final about their positions from the start and others change or develop differing perspectives.
