I think it relates but with a twist. The pleasure that Aymler is trying to obtain is seeing Georgiana without the birthmark. This is because the birthmark represents everything that he despises about Georgiana. He is in constant effort to obtain this pleasure but lacks conscience to do so. This is primarily because he does not think about the most important aspect of this obsession with is Georgiana herself.
Pyle’s perception is that he is confident Phuong will go for him but in reality she picks Fowler. Fowler has a constant fear of losing love as he perception has lead him to leave established relationships in the past. He is appealed by Phuong as she gives him the sense of security, the feeling “she won’t run away from home so long as the home is happy (pg 104).” Pyle perceives that he has to suffer a lot in giving up Phoung. “I know what I’d have to suffer if I had to give up Phuong” said Pyle which shows that the truth often becomes a matter of perception rather than reality to Pyle as he thinks she will chose him rather than Fowler. Another example is shown in the book “The Secret River” by Kate Grenville where the Australians declared Australia as “Terra Nullius” meaning empty land
This song has it own way teaching us something. It is trying to show that one should not give up on love so easily, be afraid of doing right things and ever lose hope. We all have the capability of being a hero for ourselves. All we need to do is look deep within ourselves for strength since ultimately no one can help defeat our personal problems. A person should not give up on love so easily just because they could not find someone to love.
I think he didn’t let go because he still could see the hope in her eyes and hear the hope in her voice that she thought he would get better.. Even thou they want to go they still don’t want their love ones to suffer. We never want to let go of our love ones because it hurts. We have to do what is best for them and not us. We have to realize that they are the ones in pain and that they are just prolonging what they know is going to happen.
What would you do to protect the ones you love? Would you be willing to give up your beauty, health, or even mental being at the price of a lie? But what if in turn, it ended up hurting them in the worst of ways? Usually, people want to save the ones they love from being upset, even if it means not telling the truth. But throughout life, people are affected from these lies and pay for them in a way that makes us wonder if it was all really worth it.
But I do believe the advice of Friar Laurence was well meaning but it was naïve in the assessment on how strong the feud is and shows that he did not foresee the punishments of a clandestine marriage. As naïve as he was, he was not guilty for this tragedy. “Holy Saint Francis, what a change is here! So soon forsaken? young men's love then lies Not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes.
Mr. Gatsby and his obsession had him going crazy. He couldn’t get her of off his mind. He had Daisy thinking that nothing was going to work at all. But she also didn’t know how he felt for her and what he would do for her, for everything to be better. “I’m going to fix everything just the way it was before, he said, nodding determinedly.” “She’ll see.” Daisy doesn’t want to believe him at all because he may be lying to
Here we saw Elie’s feelings towards his father really come through. He doesn’t want to find his father. This shocked me when I read it because he was so against this when he saw it happening to other father-son duos. He said he would never wish he didn’t have his dad because he was the only family left. It’s sad to think that his feelings changed when he was put in the exact situation.
Gatsby cannot overcome the fact that he might not be able to get Daisy. He is utterly obsessed by her and this is proven by; "When I said you were a friend
As Gatsby puts his dream onto something unworthy (Daisy), his dream becomes less important as time progresses because it gets more and more unattainable. He puts so much stress on what he wants Daisy to be, rather than what she is, creating an infatuation in the idea of her, rather than the reality of her. Even Nick doesn’t believe Gatsby truly loves her anymore, stating that “he wanted to recover something, some idea of himself perhaps, that had gone into loving Daisy.” (Fitzgerald 110)His hopes spread past reality and reason. At one point, Gatsby believes he can repeat the past (Fitzgerald 110) and get Daisy back. Gatsby sacrifices everything he is, and completely changes himself for Daisy.
