Idealized Love “When we fall in love, we believe our partner is irreplaceable. We have found the one who is perfect, just right for us. The act of falling in love, in a sense, means that we reject the notion that individuals are interchangeable” (Gianotti). In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, The Great Gatsby, idealized love strongly motivates the key characters Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan. While their journey together begins as a brief fling, the two are soon engrossed in a lifelong relationship filled with undying affection and enduring regrets.
He uses persuasion at the start of the poem, but then starts charming his mistress by saying he’ll love her once they have sexual intercourse. One of the most obvious similarities between both poems are that they both have a male narrator. Both poems are also similar as they both contain lines about death.

“A White Heron”, “Desiree’s Baby, and “A New England Nun” are short stories, which prove that not all women in the nineteenth century conform totally to social expectations of their time. All three short stories show that the environment in which the women lived drove them to their independent choices or enabled them to rebel against social expectations of the time. Sylvia’s love of her environment with the nature and animals enabled her to resist the hunter by asserting her independence. Louisa resists social expectations because she loves her domesticity, freedom, and order. Desiree’s dependence on her husband and her unloving environment drove her to her own freedom and independence.

They also think that she is a “tart.” Mean while all that Curley’s wife is trying to do is make some friends so that she is not alone on the farm.

Curley’s wife is very lonely so she has to make her rounds at the farm to not be as lonely as possible. John Steinbeck has some of the loneliest people in the novella Of Mice and Men. If Curley’s wife only had another woman to talk to at the farm or a new husband everyone has a better

Passion meant suffering: the happy ending didn’t yet exist in the cultural imagination. As far as togetherness as an eternal ideal, the 12th century advice manual ”De Amore et Amoris Remedio” (“On Love and the Remedies of Love”) warned that too many opportunities to see a chart with the beloved would certainly decrease love” (pg. 735) this shows us that during that period of time people would not get married for love. They did not think that love was going to last an eternity because eventually it would fade away. Kipnis does not seem to believe in eternal love either.
