She views her earthly love as one of a spiritual union through salvation as she gratefully acknowledges the love from her husband. She prays his rewards are in such a way where others will admire and remember throughout eternity (l.10). This is an extraordinary way of professing a wife’s love, appreciation and affection for her husband; this poem demonstrates her earthly physical passion in this world and the competing tensions between “the flesh” and “the spirit.” Another prominent aspect of this literary piece is the use of metaphors and similes throughout the poem. The beginning words, “I Prize” (l.5) describe their love as sexy in that she gleefully rewards him with her unconditional love. In addition, these

William Shakespeare's tragedy, Romeo and Juliet is a popular study for various themes, including love. The five types of love include unrequited love, romantic love, parental love, friendship and love of family honor. Love is an overpowering force that takes over all other values, loyalties and emotions.The ones I will be elaborating is romantic love and love of family honor.

Openness is the result of it and can be the cement that bonds everyone. A family has many parts, besides the people involved. With love, honesty and communication, comes appreciation of everyone.
When Romeo is introduced, he is madly ‘in love’ with Rosaline. However, this love is unrequited, leaving Romeo to mope about, completely love-sick.

Romeo and Juliet are certainly in love due to the events that take place because of their love.

The commitments that Romeo and Juliet make are made through love. They both have to grow up and “Growing up requires that they seperate themselves from their parents by forming with a member of the opposite sex an intimate bond wich supersedes filial bonds” (Goldberg 84).
