She sought refuge in the hills of England. She was very appreciative. She thought it was wealth. She thought of the undulating land as blessed or sacred as can be seen in parenthesis in line 14, ‘As if God’s finger touched but did not press.’ As a result of Browning’s Evangelist childhood, her poems were filled with biblical allusion. Browning over-exaggerates the features and beauty of the nature of England almost making them come alive with her use of personification.
Which give the characters an edge, and makes them unique. The three Mrs. W’s along side share the same view on the importance of love, and often stress the fact. This is why they saved Meg from entering the dark thing. “The gentle words, the feeling that this beast would be able to love her no matter what she said or did.” Lapped Meg in warmth and peace, she felt a delicate touch of tentacle to her cheek, as tender as her mothers kiss.” The three Mrs. W’s must have an explanation in doing this deed, and it is obvious that the three Mrs. W’s share the same compassion for one another. Also shown is that love exceeds darkness.

28). No matter what arobin tried to do, his efforts in taking her heart were in no comparison to what Robert had done. Because of Edna’s strong feeling for Robert, Arobin has little impact to Edna’s life. With the little love that Edna has for Arobin, he’s looked at differently by Edna compared to Robert Edna’s burning passion for Robert is intense compared to Arobin. Edna saying, “I love you”, shared to the reader the loving sensation she has for Robert; Edna uses the word “love” which shows how strongly she feels for Robert (128; ch.
While Dimmsdale had his congregation and duty to God to follow His word. Both sides of the relationship are shown through Pearl. She has an extreme habit of being disobedient to her father and her mother, something that both Hester and Dimmsdale composed when they were disobedient to God, but she is also beautiful and loving just like the passion that her mother and father felt for each other. Pearl, is a highly ambiguous character in The Scarlet Letter. She is not only a disobedient and untamed elf, but also a beautiful, flower like child.
“Guilt Damns Us All” The story, “The Birthmark”, fully embodies the statement that guilt can damn us all. In this, Hawthorne depicts the relationship between guilt and lust, guilt through pursuit of perfection, as well as guilt disguised as love. He uses the theme of guilt to reveal a valuable moral: nothing in this world has the ability to obtain perfection. As the guilt draws to an end it is transformed into despair. Georgiana is a beautiful woman, whose only flaw is the human feeling of love; in which she loves her husband unconditionally and gives her all to him.
Henry and Roy who both tells a story of their idealistic past, can be grouped together as the ones, who believes in the existence of idealistic love which tends to be fanciful like their own childhood memories. Roy claims that his love is equivalent to “Mozart’s love” which characterises the romance with happy endings. Henry’s depiction of his mother’s devotion has the sense of artificiality, and it’s almost like as if he forces the story upon himself to avoid other alternatives. However unlike Roy Henry understands the contradicting reality in regards to commitment and fidelity “everyone blames women but I forgive them, if they change their love a thousand times a day.. but I think it’s the necessity of women’s heart” Henry is aware and accepts the flaw in the concept of absolute faithfulness. Ruth, who suffers from her inability to distinguish reality from illusion, was a victim of a horrible relationship.
There is a love that Hester has for Dimmsdale in which she keeps his secret to herself. Dimmsdale’s secret that could not only ruin him but put him into a life full of infamy. She has great strength in which she states “I will not speak!”, and takes on his punishment, shame, and suffering onto herself. Hester portrays strength and love because she could have easily confessed her lovers name and have him share her shame and misfortune of the sin committed. It takes real love to take the punishment upon her.
To a modern audience, the treatment that Heathcliff received would have made him feel isolated and the psychological effects from that can be very damaging. Therefore it could be argued that Heathcliff’s rude and soulless nature is a product of the bad nurture as a child. In addition to this, Heathcliff is also portrayed as a typical gothic protagonist due to his actions being
Whereas, the couples must love each other unconditionally and decide on choosing each other without the input of anyone else but themselves, it is assumed that “married couples should be best friends, sharing their most intimate feelings and secrets. They should express affection openly but also talk candidly about problems. And of course they should be sexually faithful to each other.” (Coontz 381) In my opinion, I do not agree with Stephanie Coontz saying George Shaw theory of marriage has unrealistic expectations even though each culture has their own interpretation of marriage. No matter what each culture is different, if they believe that having more than one wife or having cospouses it is their choice and some will stay true to the values they were raised on. Finally, Coontz brought forth if someone is not marrying for love but just for the status then what is the point of getting married.
