Love: The Perfection of Affection In the play written by William Shakespeare Romeo and Juliet, two youthful lovers dramatically take their own lives because of their overwhelming love for each other. Several characters bestow opposing views of love, none of which are more divergent than Romeo’s and Mercutio’s. Mercutio believes that love is a lustful game in which the ultimate reward is the fulfillment of a sexual hunger, while Romeo accepts love as affection and devotion. Romeo’s ideals are the very principle and nature of which love is precisely about. Mercutio inundates with wit, imagination, and crudity.
3.Presentation of relationships in 'To His Coy Mistress' and 'Ghazal' Both 'Ghazal' and 'To His Coy Mistress' present relationships as self-seeking and manipulative, as the narrators in both poems desire the sexual fulfilment of their lover. In 'To His Coy Mistress' Andrew Marvell uses form for effect. The narrator in the poem is trying to convince his love to have sex with him, and his whole argument can be seen as humorous and playful. One way we see this is through the use of rhyming couplets which are employed throughout the poem: 'Had we but world enough, and time, This coyness, Lady, were no crime'. The extended use of rhyming couplets has a comic effect in this poem as the fast paced rhymes read like a collection of little jokes with fast punch lines.
“Watch and pray that you may not undergo the test. The spirit is wiling, but the flesh is weak.” (Mk 14:38) We must pray that we will over come temptations.

In the chapter called, Ten Steps to Victory Over Depression, LaHaye makes a very powerful statement.

We need to trust what God tells us, we need to follow His directions, and we do things not to get saved but because he has already began the saving within us. We don’t do things for a reward in heaven but we do them because the sign of Heaven is already inside of us.
Love is the most important weapon in the arsenal of a believer (1 Corinthians 13), and it is vital that the true definition of love be communicated to Advancement thinkers by the life that we live and the Gospel we proclaim. True love should not be symbolized by romance stories, flowers, and chocolates, but rather it should be symbolized by a filthy, bloody
Particularly in the late seventh and sixth centuries B.C., romantic love was presented as something directed primarily at members of ones' own sex. Some revoluntionary Greek lyric poets of this period such as Sappho, Theognis, and Ibycus expanded the parameters of love by extending the appreciation for same-sex love. What was exceptional about these poets was their unique stylistic effects of evoking intimacy and devotion. Commonly, a manifestation of the power of aphrodisia was known as eros, or the divine power of love and sex-drive (Ogden 311). Therefore, in this paper, homoeroticism solely refers to eros between the same sex.
