Originally, the message transmitted to the recipient was the telephone number of the sender basically requesting a call back. Soon after, two way pagers where developed. They allow an interactive system of communication between the sender and receiver. Pagers operate on a data network. VOIP phones- voice over internet protocol is a technology that allows phone calls to be made through the internet.
How is love portrayed in Julius Caesar? Love is portrayed as a key theme in Julius Caesar for several reasons, and is often closely linked with friendship and loyalty. Shakespeare uses the powerful and emotive idea of love and friendship to show the audience Brutus’ humanity after his role in the assassination of Julius Caesar. Brutus and Portia’s relationship serves the purpose of showing us that Brutus was no cold blooded killer or butcher, but that he was compassionate, caring, and acting in what he thought were the best interests of Rome. “You are my true and honourable wife” shows us the love and respect Brutus had for Portia, and as such emphasises Brutus’ humanity in the play.
This shows how there are many reasons to her loving her husband and that there is depth to their love, the use of the explanation mark ‘!’ at the end emphasis her delight in telling her lover how much she adores him. Browning uses metaphors to describe her love for her husband “depth and breadth and height” this suggests how she lovers everything about him and how her love for him is much wider than what meets the eyes. The direct address makes the poem seem more personal and realistic. This is direct address, a question addressing her lover which gives the reader the impression that he has asked the speaker how much she loves him. This is a rhetorical question and it implies a conversation the two.
as you may see in other poems, this is not correct if this was to be a love poem. We see this lust rather than love in the way she is said to have “yellow hair” and how she “makes her shoulder bare.” we can sense how there is a frustration as he quite clearly want more than the to be his lover but to be a together, this is a convention of a love poem but the way she acts makes it more of a story of lust. The ABABB rhyme scheme is pleasant like a love poem and gives a rhythmic up beat approach to the relationship; this is the antithesis of the way that the poem unfolds as rather than having the expected denouement that you might get in a normal love story. The use of the present tense is
Because of such an act, the woman draws up a tension of love vs. infatuation. Love is an emotion of a strong affection and personal attachment. Infatuation is an intense but short-lived and irrational passion for somebody or something. I think the woman will always love her husband, but she is also infatuated with her outside lover. Even though she has feelings for the other partner, she is still willing to leave her husband to be with him.
The poems “How do I love Thee” and “My mistress’ Eyes are Nothing like the Sun” are beautiful Petrarchan sonnets with a common theme which is love. Both poets talk about his/her love for another person. Though they are Petrarchan sonnets, they both have their differences and similarities in their form, figures of speech and subject matter. ‘How do I love Thee?’ is a poem written by Elizabeth Browning in 1850 in which she explains her intense love for a man. This is a Petrarchan sonnet; made up of fourteen lines, contains an octave, sestet, and volte.
Temple de Cupido, composed by Clément Marot in 1513-14, narrates a quest for love that is not susceptible to change – Ferme Amour. Some scholars consider this poem too artificial, imitative or immature (Pierre Jourda and C. A. Mayer). Other critics examine only one meaning of love: the agapè of the Christians (Edwin Duval, Cynthia Skenazi, Gérard Defaux). In my reading, I would like to show that the poem brings out all the possible meanings of the world love, the classical and the Christian. Lustful erotic love morphs into individualistic artistic creativity, artistic creativity changes into the selfless love of God.
The themes are similar yet different. One theme says that as long the poem is still “alive” then so is she and the other is appearance isn’t everything. The two poems “Sonnet 147” and “Sonnet 18” by Shakespeare both express a love but there is a difference between the ways the speaker describes the love in both poems. In Sonnet 147 the speaker describes the love to be a burden, and suffering. It is clear appearance isn’t everything.
He claims that he loves to hear her voice, yet he says “music hath a far more pleasing sound.” He plays with the readers mind by complimenting and insulting the woman at the same time. Now the reader is not sure what to think at all. In the last lines of the sonnet, the ending couplet, Shakespeare makes it clear that it is indeed a love sonnet. He states that his love is “as rare/ As any She belied with false compare.”
This paper will take a closer look at one of the most prominent themes in La Belle Dame sans Merci; Love and Despair. La Belle Dame sans Merci portrays to readers the universal anomaly of what is known as unrequited love. In opposition to love felt equally by two parties, unrequited love occurs when the love felt by one person is far greater than that felt by the other who is loved. The term unrequited literally means ‘not returned or rewarded’. This denoted the unfairness in the balance that one expects in a romantic relationship when the love that one feels for another is not reciprocal.
