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.
Many people view infatuated love as irresponsible, immature and blind love built solely on unreasonable passion, which could simply stem from a sexual attraction. Empty love occurs when a person is solely looking for a commitment with no interest in intimacy or passion. This could simply be a result of not wanting to be alone in the world. It is built on the promise that the couple will maintain their relationship in the future. Fatuous love is caused from the combination of passion and commitment, without a sense of intimacy.
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” .
In Wild Oats It explains that a person, over the course of time, comes to realise that his greatest desires of love, are unattainable, and second best things will have to suffice. The central purpose of this poem is to show that love is one of these great desires and despite flashes of promise it contains scarcely anything that is more than fragmentary. Larkin reveals this through tone and diction. Both poets seem to focus a lot on the physical side of love where lust and desire are involved however Abse makes it sound more sensual and even spiritual when he speaks of Eros in his poem. Larkin portrays this sense of objectification in his poem with regards to woman as he describes a woman as a ‘bosomy English rose’ and then follows on to call her ‘beautiful’ throughout the poem portraying the sexual lust involved with love.
When he described their love he said things like, “Than to love and be loved by me”, “But we loved with a love that was more than love”, “My beautiful Annabel Lee”, “But our love it was stronger by far than the love Of those who were older than we” (Pike & Acosta, 2010 p388). You wouldn’t expect a child or a young teenager to express his self that way would you? The sad part about this poem is that Annabel died. Edgar was convinced that the angles did it because of their jealousy of his and Annabel’s love. When Edgar said he wasn’t going to be without Annabel he meant that literally.
Maybe love was the answer to this seemingly impossible equation of events and feelings. He had no idea what love was, but he imagined it must feel like holding her hand. Sheer, raw, pure, and true joy. Does that mixed with a girl cause the reaction of love. "Great," he thought "relationship chemistry AND
What’s the difference between love and infatuation? The similarities between the two emotions are often mistaken for one another, however they differ because one is real love and one is not. This confusion is evident in Romeo and Juliet as the conceptions of shallow and superficial love are being depicted. Love is commonly defined as having an unconditional, profoundly tender feeling of deep affection towards another person, whereas in comparison, infatuation is the state of being obsessive and carried away by unreasoned desire or lust. Even though some may debate otherwise, I believe Romeo and Juliet’s “love” is based upon shallow infatuation due to their sudden physical desirability for one another and the rapid development of their relationship.
A person who experiences this type of love is willing to give up just about anything to make the one they’re interested in happy. The person experiencing this type of love is known to value his or her love interest more than him or herself. This type of love also has an extreme vulnerability to potential abuse. The recipient of this type of love has the ability to take advantage of the person who’s so willing to please them and potentially take them for granted. This type of love tends to occur in those with low self-esteem and those who gain confidence in pleasing their love interest.
Romeo is talking in paradoxes; he does this to emphasize that love is confusing. He says that love is everything except for what it actually is. Since Romeo thinks that he is in love although no one loves him, love can be two things that are opposites at the same time. Although Romeo is happy to be in love, he does not like the thought of love itself because if no one loves him back, love will become more confusing. 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.
That he or she knows what love is and where one can find it. I would say he might have an idea, but love being as complex as it is it’s impossible for any one man or woman to have a complete understanding of the notion. What is this thing called love that cannot stand alone, but depends on modifiers and conjunctions to complete it, to give it heft and meaning? There is “brotherly” love, “platonic” love, “puppy” love, “courtly” love, and of course, that most vexing, confounding, ever-elusive “romantic” love. It is these aspects that make love as confusing as it is, and these aspects also draw people to the concept of love.
