This kind of stereotyping just created by our society, by our culture. It is not the thing representing our “self”, it is guideline for us to act what other expected. When we are seeking for love, goodness, we must not affect by such stereotyping. There is no clear cut of what is male or female to “self”. Love is not something only between male and female but all of the people, no matter he or she, young and old.
Such thinkers have to allow that what people actually love, and what they would love if they were moral or prudent, may be different. In this category I would place Plato and Freud. Both hold that we can be mistaken in our love objects, and experience great frustration and despair because of such mistakes. Another distinction must be made. There are thinkers who would insist that, though we may actually love an object that is not worthy of love, we could not ____________________ Reprinted from The Symposium of Plato, Suzy Q Groden, tr., John A.

Lewis’s character however shifts his opinion through his experience with the patients and how they relate to the themes of the opera, Lewis gradually conceives of love something that underlies all else. “ Without love the world wouldn’t mean much”. His tone is thoughtful and wise , suggesting a grand gesture but in fact a simple truth. Through lewis journey he has come to the realisation of the importance of love and fidelity, the things he used to consider to be ‘traditional values’. “Its about important things, love and
Cloud and Townsend carefully explain why one relationship works and why the other one does not. The basis of the theory is that one must be free to be responsible to completely love the other (Cloud and Townsend, 1999). Their book is a roadmap to that lasting, loving marriage relationship. Summary of Theory Cloud and Townsend teach about the property lines of life, where one person’s responsibility ends and where another person’s begins. Cloud and Townsend present their book in three sections: understanding boundaries, building boundaries in marriage, and resolving conflict in marriage.
An “intruder’s eye” is another way of saying “to look at it from another’s perspective”. To call the other’s perspective intrusive is to say that the thoughts and memories they are seeing or hearing are private and, perhaps, ones that even the owner does not wish to think about. Considering the title “After Making Love”, the poem expresses the belief that love and honesty are two cohesive factors in a relationship. The term “making love” is one of tenderness and compassion. The poet did not say “having sex”, “hooking up” or “screwing”.
“The theme of marriage has two major strands: one is a naively exaggerated description of the state of holy matrimony for the good of the soul. The other is the a darker, more selfish concept of marriage as providing great conveniences for an ageing lecher.” How far do you agree with this statement. Marriage within ‘The Merchant’s Tale” is explored in different ways. To begin with, marriage is shown to be a religious and holy sacrament between a man and woman observed in the eyes of God. The Merchant provides us with this view, suggesting that no other state of matrimony is “worth a bene”.
There is repetition and near repetition that empathises the constancy of love when Shakespeare says “Which alters when it alteration finds”. When Shakespeare says “Love’s not Time’s fool” this is implying that love is not affected by time even though your physical features are all destroyed by time “though rosy lips and cheeks”. In comparison ‘The Manhunt’ also the subject of true love, particularly in married relationships like ‘Sonnet 116’ does, and both poems have the same vision of what true love should be like. However, it seems that ‘The Manhunt’ is directed at a married couple whereas ‘Sonnet 116’ seems to be more general, so ‘The Manhunt’ is much more personal the ‘Sonnet 116’. Additionally, in ‘sonnet 116’ there is a regular rhyme scheme in ‘The Manhunt’ it is written in
Today the term friendship is thrown around in a more nonchalant manner verses how it was perceived in earlier times. Being someone’s friend was not something that was given freely. In the Renaissance, for instance, Montaigne wrote, “for to undertake to wound and offend a man for his own good is to have a healthy love for him.” This meant that to correct or constructively criticize a friend was in good favor because the friend was looking out for his or her best interest. Today the act of criticizing a friend can result in a loss of that friendship. Montaigne also wrote, “those who venture to criticize us perform a remarkable act of friendship”.
The other type of love Pausanias talks about is vulgar, common love. This love is considered bad because as Pausanias states its main focus is “to the body more than to the soul.” The main purpose of this love is simply to satisfy one’s sexual needs. Common love could both involve younger boys or female of any level of intelligence without the intentions of passing on virtue. He highly disapproves of vulgar love that he recommend laws be placed to prevent such acts. Pausanias believes love is only good when it is used for virtue and to increase one’s development and anything else is considered bad.
