Above all else, humans desire meaningful connections with others, often it is in the form of love. Cheap Trick’s Song, ‘The Flame’ (1988) explores how an individual copes with the loss of the love of his life. It conveys how love can overcome all obstacles and even though the individual has lost their love interest they still continue to cherish and remember them. The hardship the individual faces have been portrayed within the song lyrics by the juxtaposing elements of fire and rain. In my visual representation, I have chosen to focus on these two elements which originate from ‘Remember after the fire, after all the rain’.
It is an intense feeling of deep affection that conquers all, making you feel comforted and appreciated. Both “Love’s Philosophy” by Percy Bysshe Shelley and “Let me not the marriage …” by William Shakespeare (also known as Sonnet 116) are two examples of poems that believe in the power of eternal love. In “Love’s Philosophy”, the poem is about how the persona was in love with another but ended up being rejected by her. Throughout this poem, he compares it to nature and its beauty because nature is without flaws and always balances itself out no matter what happens. On the other hand in “Let me not the marriage …” Shakespeare talks about how marriage should be proof for love and not a service to others.
They both explore the theme of love or rather painful love. the poet revels the link between the two poems’s through a verity of techniques which is done very effectively but also shows the difference between the obsessive love in “Havisham” and the possessive love of “Valentine”. The pain of love is evident from the beginning in both poems. “Carol Ann Duffy” uses the tone in the first couple of stanzas to show the unorthodox nature of the love. “Not a day since then I haven’t whished him dead”-Havisham This is very effective as the aggressive tone shows “Havisham” has been rejected and her love is causing her pain.
Tamia describes in her song that she, and her husband go through problems like everybody else, But she don't mind because the love she, and her husband has for one another allows them to talk it out, and move on with their lives. Shakespeare's opinion about
The dictionary defines love as “A strong personal liking”, But is that all love is? Love is never ending and can endure beyond the grave, it can create unforgettable memories, yet it can expose us to almost unbearable pain. Love is defiantly more than ‘a strong personal liking’. This is effectively demonstrated in the incredible novel, By the River written by Steven Herrick. In the novel the main character, Harry Hodby and his father, Mr. Hodby have both lost someone close to them.
Idealized Love “When we fall in love, we believe our partner is irreplaceable. We have found the one who is perfect, just right for us. The act of falling in love, in a sense, means that we reject the notion that individuals are interchangeable” (Gianotti). In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, The Great Gatsby, idealized love strongly motivates the key characters Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan. While their journey together begins as a brief fling, the two are soon engrossed in a lifelong relationship filled with undying affection and enduring regrets.
She views her earthly love as one of a spiritual union through salvation as she gratefully acknowledges the love from her husband. She prays his rewards are in such a way where others will admire and remember throughout eternity (l.10). This is an extraordinary way of professing a wife’s love, appreciation and affection for her husband; this poem demonstrates her earthly physical passion in this world and the competing tensions between “the flesh” and “the spirit.” Another prominent aspect of this literary piece is the use of metaphors and similes throughout the poem. The beginning words, “I Prize” (l.5) describe their love as sexy in that she gleefully rewards him with her unconditional love. In addition, these
Compare the methods the poets use to explore ideas about love in ‘Sonnet 116’ and in one other poem from Relationships. ‘Sonnet 116’ is about love and that it is forever lasting and that love doesn’t change over time or in any circumstances. The key themes in this sonnet are love and time. This poem is written in the style of a sonnet, which has 14 lines and it has an ABAB rhyme scheme and additionally the final couples indicate a change in mood and thought. In ‘Sonnet 116’ many metaphors are used to explore love for example the speaker says “Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken” which is implying that you can’t measure love and also love is endless and priceless.
Which give the characters an edge, and makes them unique. The three Mrs. W’s along side share the same view on the importance of love, and often stress the fact. This is why they saved Meg from entering the dark thing. “The gentle words, the feeling that this beast would be able to love her no matter what she said or did.” Lapped Meg in warmth and peace, she felt a delicate touch of tentacle to her cheek, as tender as her mothers kiss.” The three Mrs. W’s must have an explanation in doing this deed, and it is obvious that the three Mrs. W’s share the same compassion for one another. Also shown is that love exceeds darkness.
Love and Addiction in Wuthering Heights Love by definition is an intense feeling of deep affection for someone. In a lifetime, one may strive to find love in and for another person. However, is it possible to be so in love with someone that you become obsessed and addicted to this person in every possible way?
