Romantic movies distort and create false expectations of true love. They show exaggerated stories that are used to entertain, yet young women get wound up in the thought that they will find someone that will meet up to these expectations. These set beliefs can affect them in a negative way and often lead to disappointment. Books like A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Great Gatsby, and movies like The Notebook are all examples of love stories that produce that false hope. Women begin to think that they will find a perfect man that will hand them the world, that they should dedicate themselves to finding this man, and that they deserve an elaborate story full of passion and desire.
For example Laura’s severe craving for the precious fruit could symbolise an addicts withdrawal symptoms, and the exchange of a lock of hair and ‘’tear more rare than pearl’ describes the basic principal of prostitution. As suggested by Barfoot ‘Laura is lured by these strange vendors because she fails to realize that in the market women are not the buyers, but the “bought”. In fact the merchandise is not fruit but the female body’ . This statement clearly examines the underlying sexuality of Rossetti’s poetry, the link to prostitution and also the divide between men and women in the Victorian age. Women were used as chattel to secure alliances with wealthy families and to produce an heir.
Love at first sight- Does it exsist??? Do I believe in love at first sight? Unfortunately no I don’t. There is scientific evidence stating that there is love at first sight but I just believe it is lust at first sight and not love. You cannot love a thing which you have no idea about, you may love there looks the way they walk and things like that but you can never actually love them properly, love grows over time of knowing the person and even though they act like the person on their outside they may not be the same person on the inside they may act all hard but actually on the inside they are a big softie who cry’s all the time.
Elements of Romantic Comedies Romantic comedies have grown from everyday comedies to include very specific elements that distinguish them from the normal. One of the main elements of romantic comedies is that the idea of love and its shift from the thought that women should love their husbands more than men love their wives, as well as the belief that sex is something that the man should obtain whenever he asks for it because men are the bread-winners of the home. Instead, romantic comedies are based on heroic love, or love that is not focused on servitude. In this type of love, a man falls in love with a woman and serves her in the hopes that he can obtain sex from her. Although sex is still a factor in this situation, the men have to earn it which in the long run makes the man a better more understanding person.
Love at first sight Introduction People swoon at the thought of falling instantly into love, and it's not intricate to observe where these epitomes come from - fairytales, romantic shows and, obviously, numerous romance work of fiction. Love might seem to move in inexplicable forms and there might be something to the cliché of lovebirds gawking into each other's eyes, a person can be inclined to gravitate towards the latter kind, being the doubting, scientific-minded realists, but can never accept the notion of “Love at first Sight” because it is better stated as “Lust at first sight”. It is evident that falling in love actually occurs over time, Love is an intense emotion of affection toward that special one. It's a caring and profound attraction that structures emotional affection. On the flip side, lust is a strong desire of a sexual nature in which physical traits are considered aesthetically pleasing or beautiful.
Advertising has now reached the point where companies are no longer afraid to exploit women to sell their products. Advertising has associated itself with sexism, often discrimination against women; making them an object inferior to men. The women presented in advertising are often stereotypical in that that have the desired figure, look and attitudes expected by a male target audience. Two advertisements that demonstrate these representations of women are the print advertisement LYNX Jet “Get-on, Get-off” and the TV advertisement LYNX Pulse “The girls are ready”. The LYNX campaign relies heavily on the AIDA principle, which aims first to attract the male target audience attention, hold their interest to create a desire for the product which in-turn persuades the intended to purchase LYNX products.
The epigraph of the ‘The Great Gatsby’ leads the reader to think a numerous amount of things about what they are in for before reading the book and also affects their interpretation of the book after reading it because of the morals and message behind the poem. By using hidden symbolism, Fitzgerald seems to link his own beliefs regarding monetary prosperity with an interesting plot in The Great Gatsby. In the epigraph of The Great Gatsby it first says “Then wear the gold hat, if that will move her”. At first glances the poem is about someone advising a man on how to impress a woman as it states “if that will move her” and the way in which she will be impressed is if the man wears a “gold hat”. The wearing of the “gold hat” seems to be a metaphorical way of wearing his new found wealth.
Not only do the commercials capture the men’s attention but it also grabs the women’s attention by giving the image of what a man should smell like and by creating a sexual theme that attracts attention. In our society, one intelligent way to sell a product targeted to men is to attract women. According to the website She-conomy, 85% of all consumer purchases are accounted for by women (Holland). Women have different point of views on commercials. If a commercial is really interesting to a woman, then it is more likely for her to purchase the product or to persuade men she knows to buy it.
My Thesis is that love is irresistible to that who make it irresistible to themselves and, that’s why it has so much of a bittersweet style that follows along with it. First let realize that in the word love there is many types of love that are used and known to man today. We have Affection (a natural love) Friendship (an admiration love) Eros (passionate love) Charity (a sacrificial love) so love is shown to be a too general topic to just say one type of love is irresistible. Granted majority of people when you say love they think of relationships as in being in love. So we ourselves must ask don’t we love our mothers and fathers.
Everyone has their own definition. Intimacy is a major requirement in a relationship and the male’s sex drive is higher than a female’s most of the time. If the woman does not ‘put out’ as much as the man might want, he will find some other female to give him what he wants. On the other side, females want to feel loved and hear that they are beautiful and get gifts and little surprises that keep them on their feet. Most guys feel that is not the ‘macho’ thing to do, so the girl is going to stray and find someone who can fulfill their fantasies.
