When she states “when you’re gone/ I wanna go too” (19-20) means to me that if you love someone this much, that you can not bare the thought of going on with your life without them. Life is not whole without your significant other by your side. The love she wants is one in a million. She wants to find a love “like Johnny and june/ They don't make love like that anymore”(39,43) My take on what is being said is that true love is hard to find. A love like this is a rarity.
It is funny that the two have done nothing of the sort in reality. The speaker implicitly requests the lady not to worry because at least that kind of canonization might happen in the future. Those foolish people will regard the hair and bones as things for doing miracle by the lovers; to the man, the miracle is a different one. He does regard that his beloved is a real miracle, however. He is writing the present poem to tell the truth to those who will read and know the reality of those future times when people will make nonsense myths out of such incidents.
The simile depicts, what the speaker believes, are demonstrative acts of love, with her own conception in her mother’s womb as the most genuine. She convinces herself that these two actions by her father must certainly prove his love for her. When the young woman learns that her father has lied to her about the dress, she continues the illusion she has created, even though there are many indications in the poem that her father, in
Janie’s Undying Quest for Love All human hearts, at their core, desire love. What this love comes to mean can differ from person to person. How one is brought up can greatly influence their view on what true love is and, for some, leave them without happiness. In Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God, Janie finds true love only when she lets go of what society is telling her to do. Although her Grandmother taught her that love is settling with a wealthy man, Janie does not give up on her vision of love.
We meet John Proctor whom Abigail is in love with. He does not love her back, he is married and has children, but she still keeps believing Proctor will be hers. In line 471 she says: "You loved me, John Proctor, and whatever sin it is, you love me yet!" Everything she does is for the sake of love. Which is not an excuse at all, but now it makes more sense why she gets into trouble connected with witchcraft and involves the girls in it.
To Janie a marriage is about a mutual and reciprocal fulfillment that should be filled with love. It seems that throughout the whole narrative, Janie is constantly looking for this type of ideal marriage and love and being at one with nature. In her marriage to Logan Killicks she hopes to find this ideal marriage, “She knew now that marriage did not make love. Janie’s first dream was dead, so she became a woman.”(24). Logan Killicks crushes Janie’s child dream and any hope she had for that perfect marriage and love, so with this new realization, Janie knows that she must become a woman and do away with her childish dreams.
Sexual abuse corrupts a child as Miller showcases here. Abigail has a natural tendency for attention because she is adopted. She craves an increasingly amount of attention and out of desperation and approval she will perform any action to receive the attention as she does with John. Abigail understands that her relationship with John is forbidden and unmoral but she strives to recover the provocative relationship because she needs to know and feel that John loves her. She cries out in tears that “[John] loved [her], and whatever sin it is, [he] loved [her] yet!” and she pleads for John to “pity [her]” (Miller 24).
Romeo is hopelessly in love with Rosalind which he explains when he says, "I am too sore enpiercèd with his shaft To soar with his light feathers, and so bound, I cannot bound a pitch above dull woe. Under love’s heavy burden do I sink" (1.4.19-22). Romeo says that he is too much in love to be able to be happy because the kind of love that he has is a burden. The love that Romeo has is good because he likes being in love, but it makes him sad and it is a burden for Romeo. He wants to be in love and be able to be happy, but right now he is wounded by
He came upon a lady and her maiden, who embody the traditional motif of healing women. Through their care, he fall in love with the gentle lady, and suffer because he could not be with her. Equitan’s symptoms of lovesickness were brought upon his desire to seek out the wife of his vassal. He knew the wrong of coveting his seneschal’s wife, but he felt no wrong when his logic brought him to believe that he could share the woman. Equitan suffered from lovesickness when he fell in love at first sight of the lady, and “through the lady Love caught him unawares.” 2.
With the absence of her husband, Hester is left to face society on her own, and makes decisions along the way that shape her development in her life. Due to her desire of the reverend Dimmesdale, she chooses to make love to the man who she longs for, and yet in the pursuit of happiness, she condemns herself to a life of agony and perseverance. In Benjamin Killbourn's analysis of the symbolic scarlet letter in Shame Conflicts in The Scarlet Letter, he points out the symbolic meaning of what the true scarlet letter is, Hester's daughter Pearl. "Hester Prynne wears her letter “A” gaudily embroidered, and views Pearl as giving meaning to life—and to shame" (Killbourn 4). This embodied sin of Hester follows her wherever she travels to, just as the actual embroidered letter sticks with Hester.
