Here, the reader immediately knows that she is still in love with Captain Wentworth, despite the end of their engagement a few years ago. We also learn this interest to Captain Wentworth when Anne says in page 20 “The navy, I think, who have done so much for us, have at least an equal claim with any other set of men, for all the comforts and all the privileges which any home can give. Sailors work hard enough for their comforts” . We see here that Anne is still giving attention to the navy. Besides, in page 58, Wentworth tells his sister Sophia, half seriously, that he would like to marry a girl with “‘[a] little beauty, and a few smiles, and a few compliments to the navy’” .
The crew was washed ashore and the Kings son, Ferdinand, becomes lost. Soon he meets Miranda and is charmed to fall in love with her. “Most sure, the goddess on whom these airs attend. Vouchsafe my prayer may know if you remain upon this island, and that you will some good instruction.” (422-425 p.22Shakespeare) In the next few scenes they decided to get married and live together as prince and princess of Naples. This scene is significant because it relates to Shakespeare life and refers back to the romance of Romeo and Juliette.
We begin with Jack and Algernon are having a chat about ‘Bunburying’ where both show conflicting views on the subject. The conversation moves onto the matter of love and how they have both fallen in love and subsequently both arranged to be christened in the evening of the name Ernest to impress their ladies. Gwendolen and Cecily then question Jack and Algernon on their deception as Ernest. The ladies are satisfied with their answers and they fall into each other’s arms just as Lady Bracknell walks in. Cecily tells Lady Bracknell how she is engaged to Algernon and after much questioning gives her consent to the marriage.
. . / Hath made the flinty and steel couch of war / My thrice-driven bed of down” (I.iii.227–229). While Desdemona is used to better “accommodation,” she nevertheless accompanies her husband to Cyprus (I.iii.236). Moreover, she is unperturbed by the tempest or Turks that threatened their crossing, and genuinely curious rather than irate when she is roused from bed by the drunken brawl in Act II, scene iii.
She is beautiful, gracious, rich, intelligent, and quick-witted, with high standards for her potential romantic partners. She obeys her father's will, while steadfastly seeking to obtain Bassanio.

In his message, Franklin advises his friend that marriage is the best solution not for only sexual desires but also the undisputable source of solid happiness. Having suspicions that his friend would not follow his guidance, Franklin recommends him to choose older mistresses instead of younger ones and lists eight valuables reasons to better support his argument. Franklin commences his essay by presenting advantages of the marriage. He says ‘’ I know of no medicine fit to diminish the violent inclinations you mention…Marriage is the proper remedy.

Othello and Desdemona In the play, The Tragedy of Othello, Shakespeare really tests our conception as to what love is, and where it can or can't exist. Judging from the relationship between Desdemona and Othello, the play seems to say that marriage based on an innocent romantic love or profane love is bound to fail. Shakespeare is pessimistic about the existence and survival of a true type of love. There is a common thread of betrayal and deceit among his female characters, especially. Othello and Desdemona, as portrayed in the play, are the two greatest innocents there ever were.
He expects the audience to learn from both relationships, but he clearly feels that Beatrice is emblematic of the direction women should be heading because he presents her with more choices and the better consequences. Much Ado About Nothing is set in the Italian city of Messina just as a civil war fought by two opposing brothers, Don Pedro and Don John, is ending. The brothers have reconciled and come to visit one of the governors, Leonato, as well as his daughter, Hero, and his ward, Beatrice. Don Pedro is accompanied by a pair of soldiers; Claudio and Benedick. Claudio falls immediately in love with Hero while Benedick spars verbally with Beatrice.
Cloud 9 is a play focussed on the issue of gender and identity. It is filled with stereotypical characters, particularly in Act 1. Indeed, the first lines that the character of Betty says are; ‘I live for Clive. The whole aim of my life/ Is to be what he looks for in a wife./ I am a man’s creation as you see/And what men want is what I want to be’ (Churchill, 1). Churchill shows these dominant ideas about gender throughout the play, with references to the women being ‘delicate and sensitive’ (3) and the men and boys being manly and brave, ‘it’s manly of you Edward, to take care of your little sister’ (8).
In "Beginning of the Songs of Delight", Papyrus Harris 500 demonstrates fanciful love through "…apportioned to you is my heart,/ I do for you what it desires,/ when I am in your arms" (lines 1-3). In Shakespeare's "Othello", the Moor and Desdemona declare their love for one another, at the protest of her father and the disbelief of the councilmen (Act I, scene iii). Their romantic love was unrealistic because of their age difference, and fanciful because she was intrigued by the stories of heroism and daring that he imparted to her. Passionate love is, by definition, ruled by intense emotion and marked by intense feelings as is expressed in "My body thrives, my heart exults/ At our walking
