Attachment Styles and Relationships Marcia Henderson Psy/220 April 05, 2013 Tricia Henderson Part One: Robert Sternberg's triangular theory of love focuses on three dimensions of love; passion, intimacy and commitment. Intimacy is a dimension of love that pertains to mutual understanding, warm affection, and reciprocal concerns for the other's welfare. Another dimension of love is passion, which can be cause by strong emotions, excitement and physiological arousal, often associated with sexual desire and attraction. Passion can cause strong feelings of love and it can actually be so strong that the presence of the feeling can become a sense of love towards a person without needing anything else,
Love In our world today, society tends to think of love as a “giddy, but passionate feeling for someone”; on the other hand, love has a far more meaning than just a feeling for someone. Love not only is a feeling, but a desire in which few people have. Not only do people try to force love, but often times lust is mistaken for love. Love does not come easy and few people actually know what “true love” is. An abstract emotion or feeling that is profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person is called love, or the dictionary version of it.
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. This concept is explored through the individual characters Lucy and Lewis. Using the technique of characterisation, Nowra is able to present the idea of ‘free love’ negatively to the audience through the character Lucy. Who strongly endorses the idea that love is an indulgence, “After bread, shelter, equality, health, procreation, money comes maybe love” .
Many people speak of love. What is love? Is love an emotion or an object? Perhaps it’s both. Elie Weisel’s Night teaches the reader many things about love.
The sooner people accept that we are all human, the better. Moving on, the author’s style was unusual, criticizing, and degrading, and the tone was less than likeable. However, it was a direct approach to displaying human faults and how people turn the other way rather than acknowledge them. Lady Montagu, clearly took offense to Swift’s poem and so, wrote her own riposte to put him down for writing such an unflattering poem. She certainly did not “pass in silence without matching wits”(292) with Swift.
During Shakespeare’s lifetime, he broke many boundaries and changed the way people wrote. His mind reached beyond the average Englishman of the time and his writing standard was different than the general public. Not only was he different in the literary field, but he also viewed women in a different light than most. Sonnet 127 through Sonnet 154 are referred to as the “Dark Lady Sonnets.” They are referred as so because of this way that Shakespeare describes a woman of his affection in them. Shakespeare’s Sonnets 127, 130, and 138 illustrate his love for a mysterious woman of abnormal beauty, expressing his unusual tendencies as writer and a lover.
The sheer number of insults and implications made by the author coupled with a healthy sprinkling of aristocratic inside jokes would indicate that he essentially wrote this book for himself and other like-minded intellectuals of the enlightenment that disapproved of the status quo or could at least appreciate his cheeky sense of humor. I found the book very enjoyable and caught myself laughing out loud many times at the boldness of Voltaire’s slickly woven asides. He spent so much time attacking other people and their ideas though, I began to wonder if he would ever express his own ideas. Amid all of his negative commentary, I think it
With an abundance of asides, which the whole passage is, and bits of detail that create and amazingly complex set of ideas, Hawthorne manages to successfully conjure his image of Puritan society and how they treat Hester. Without using such circuitous grammar and syntax, Hawthorne might have failed to recreate the formal, deeply psychological Puritan society and ways that the novel attempts. The tones that Hawthorne uses in the paragraph are more so detached, moralizing, impassioned, formal, and skeptical, and he makes it very obvious that he does not care for the Puritan society (The Scarlet Letter - Linguistic
Power of Love and Relationships Many aspects of one’s life can be seen through the connections between our loved ones and friends. Factors can contribute to how and why we may seek certain individuals, but not others. This paper will discuss in detail the factors of attraction, the reasoning behind the sense of belonging, and love into three types: companionate, passionate, and compassionate. Furthermore, depict Sternberg’s Triangular Theory of Love between romantic love, from empty love or infatuation. We may encounter numerous types of individuals throughout the day.
Romeo and Juliet is possibly the most famous love story in traditional English literature. This means that love is obviously the most important theme of the story. Shakespeare, I believe, focuses not on real love (other than in the later chapters of the story) but more on a forceful version of infatuation, specifically the type that cultivates blazing passion in a matter of seconds, as is what happened between Romeo and Juliet. In the play, love (read infatuation) is a violent, rapturous and overpowering impulse that overrides everything else. In the course of the story, the strength of the feelings between Romeo & Juliet compels them to defy everything that was important - their traditions, their values (Juliet - My only love, sprung from my only hate!
