...Love is a universal feeling or emotion and every human on this earth loves someone. It is not necessary that love exists only between opposite sexes but love is there between human kind, between brothers, between sisters, between brothers and sisters, between parents and children, between husband and wife, between neighbors, between nations, between all relations and love also exists between humans and other living beings such as animals. Therefore, nobody can deny the existence of love in this world. Sometimes you need to describe the love you have for someone in words. * A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved. * What is love but acceptance of the other, whatever he is. * Love is like a fever which comes and goes quite independently of the will. … there are no age limits for love * There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket — safe, dark, motionless, airless – it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. The alternative to tragedy, or at least to the risk of tragedy, is damnation. The only...

...Should Love be Influenced by Name? “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose/By any other word would smell as sweet.” (2.2.43-44) Throughout the play Romeo and Juliet, it is clear that the theme is love; specifically, the influence love has on the way a person acts and feels. The quote questions the power of a name, specifically that of a rose. The quote illustrates the fact that even if one refers to a rose by a different name, it smells just as sweet. The quote develops the theme as it illustrates that when one is in love, little things such as names do not matter and that they should not influence how a person sees and loves someone. In addition, the quote also reveals that Juliet is very impetuous. Juliet is so madly in love with Romeo, that she does not even stop to think about what she is saying and how she is acting. The quote illustrates that she doesn’t find value in a name and that she is willing to push her own name aside because of love. Moreover, the quotation foreshadows later events. By saying that names have no influence over how one acts when in love, the quote hints to the reader that both Romeo and Juliet may put aside their names/titles so that they can be with each other. Furthermore, the quote also...

If they knew what I saw in you, maybe they'd see it too and that scares me. • Do you now what its like to be in love with someone who doesn't love you back?

And dying,” Paper magazine’s Kim Hastreiter says halfway through the tour of her Super (Duper) Market, which will be open Friday through the weekend in Manhattan’s meatpacking district. She is completely elated and, more important, satiated, by what’s in store: “The best ice cream (Humphry Slocombe), the best cornbread (Red Rooster), the best olive oil (Sciabica’s),” she says. Here, at what is a smorgasbord of carefully procured and exquisitely packaged food stuff, all the stars of Hastreiter’s bicoastal culinary-craft world collide. The vendors hail mostly from Brooklyn (Empire Mayonnaise, Morris Kitchen, Mile End) and California’s Bay Area (Boulettes Larder, Modern Appealing Clothing, Tartine Bakery and Cafe). “I’m kind of a maven, and these are really my favorite things,” says Hastreiter pointing to the Tang Brothers noodle stand. “Those are, like, the best noodles.” Walk through the mart and you might sample homemade mozzarella on honey-drizzled toast from the Cobble Hill restaurant Brucie, buy a Sol LeWitt star bowl (Hastreiter’s pick) at...

...theme of love and age. Love is shown through Yeats’ love for Maud Gonne and age is shown through Maud Gonne as she grows old. “The second coming” expresses trouble and failure in the themes of higher power and history. Higher power is shown through the likes of Jesus and history is shown through the repetitions of the world based on the past. The theme of love in “when you are old” shows Yeats love for Maud Gonne. The quote “How many loved your moments of glad grace, and loved your beauty with love false or true”, explains to us how beautiful she is and how she was admired because of it. He uses alliteration to describe her beauty as one that is not superficial. Yeats’ explains his love for her with the quote “But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, and loved the sorrows of your changing face”, the romantic notion shows Yeats’ love for her is different compared to everyone else, he loved her soul, loves her essence and will even love her when she is old and grey. He loves everything about her, but she does not love him back. This is how trouble and failure within this poem is shown, with all the love he gives and all the heart fulfilled poems he write about and to her, he is still a no body, and his heart is forever crushed. The theme of age is shown in “when you are old” as Yeats’ gives his thought of what Maud Gonne is going to be like when she is older. He still believes that she will be the most beautiful women even as she ages, this ties together with his love...

...has been described as innocent, which can be branched into more detailed points, such as naivety, inexperienced and immature. As is seen with the quote of “My one love came along”, the obvious key point in this phrase is “one love”. This denotes that she’s portraying her partner as the one and only true love that she’ll ever have, providing an indication of her immaturity to a certain extent in a relationship as she thinks that the relationship will last forever. This situation usually occurs when someone’s in a relationship and the pure exhilaration of being in one. In this case, naming their partner as the one true love implying that she’s very naïve. This quote also shows the seriousness of the speaker in a relationship, having so much faith and confidence in it, not thinking about things in the long run. This supports the idea of immaturity, as she doesn’t take into consideration that things can change in the future. Evidence of “experience” can be found in this poem, it’s the knowledge gained by physically undergoing something that one has never done before. Experience can be associated with innocence as it holds the opposite definition, such as the woman experiencing her first love. For instance, “And I ran the slope of my high hill” denotes that she’s starting the relationship from scratch and slowly experiencing love stage by stage. It illustrates her going through every single detail of the pathway of...

...Literary Criticism The Two Gentlemen of Verona The Two Gentlemen of Verona is a comedy about the adventures of two bosom buddies, Valentine and Proteus. When Proteus falls in love with his best friend's girlfriend, the guys find themselves torn between the bonds of male friendship and romance. (If you're thinking all this sounds like a modern day "bromantic comedy," you're right. Two Gentlemen of Verona is the great, great grandfather of buddy flicks like the 2009 comedy I Love You Man.) Written as early as 1590-91, Two Gentlemen appears to be William Shakespeare's first play. (As usual, some literary critics are divided over this issue, but we're going with the editors of The Norton Shakespeare and the editors of The Oxford Shakespeare on this one.) As Shakespeare's first theatrical effort, Two Gentlemenhas been referred to as a "limping forerunner" of Shakespeare's later works. Even famous literary scholar Harold Bloom says it's "the weakest of all Shakespeare's comedies." We, on the other hand, prefer to think of Two Gentlemen as Shakespeare's test kitchen, where a budding young playwright begins to work out the recipe for his "comedies" and begins to explore themes and conventions that he'll develop more fully in later works – particularly the themes of male friendship and heterosexual love, which come into conflict in plays like The Merchant of Veniceand also in Shakespeare's collection of Sonnets. Like all test kitchen creations, Two Gentlemen is far from perfect...

...Alex had an admirable relationship with his wife and his two children. Alex decided to be unfaithful to his wife with Danielle. He left his wife to go after what he wanted, which was Danielle. He was risking the love of his children and his commodity of his old life. Alex story relates to the quote, “To gain that which is worth having, it may be necessary to lose everything else,” by Bernadette Devlin. The interpretation of this quote is in order for a person to get what they want; they have to be willing to lose everything. Like Alex the characters in In the Time of the Butterflies by Julia Alvarez are willing to risk everything through the characters of Lina, Patria and Minerva. Those characters agree with the quote because they are willing to lose everything in order to get what they want. In the Time of the Butterflies, Lina, a student, meets Trujillo, the president of Dominican Republic, at Inmaculada Concepcion. Trujillo had been watching Lina over a balcony near the school and insisted on seeing her. When they met Trujillo gave her a medal. After the meeting, he would visit her and send her gifts. Sinita asked Lina if she had fallen in love with Trujillo and Lina answered, “With all my heart,” (22). The day of Lina’s birthday Trujillo throws her a party. Then goes on a week vacation with him or so the girls at Inmaculada Concepcion thought. The girls at the school loved and adored Lina and didn’t understand why she didn’t want to come back to them since they treated her...

...that women in Elizabethan times were reputed to be humble and modest. Shakespeare also shows the different emotions they display towards each other. In act 1 scene 1, Shakespeare lays out just how much Beatrice and Benedick hate each other. I can infer this from the quotes, “Nobody marks you,” and, “My dear lady disdain! You yet living?” The quotes show how much loathing the couple have for one another. The use of the sentimental noun ‘dear’ coupled with the derogatory noun ‘disdain’ interprets a feeling of sarcasm from Benedick and shows how much disregard he holds for her. The quote “nobody marks you” meaning “nobody’s listening” shows shameless insolence. Shakespeare later uses personification, turning Beatrice and Benedick into birds and beasts, reinforcing the feeling of disrespect that has been portrayed to the audience, it shows the equal amounts of hate they hold both for each other and love in general. Their moods are generally ones of sarcasm and annoyance of each other’s wit. In the actors of the trickery plot, we discover another point of view of the feelings Benedick and Beatrice possess for each other I know this from the quotes , “Benedick , love on; I will requite thee; and , love me? Why it must be...

...Topic: Unspoken Love Quote 1 A. Viola (in her disguise as Cesario) comes to Olivia to deliver the speech Orsino has sent her to carry. It is his message of love for Olivia, however, Cesario sets aside the prepared message and proceeds to tell Olivia what he would do if he were in love with her. It sets the stage for Olivia to fall in love with Viola, yet dressed and known as the man Cesario. B. ”Make me a willow cabin at your gate And call upon my soul within the house, Write loyal cantons of contemnèd love, And sing them loud even in the dead of night; Hallow your name to the reverberate hills, And make the babbling gossip of the air Cry out ’Olivia!’ O, you should not rest Between the elements of air and earth But you should pity me.” (237-245) C.”Make me a cabin at your gate and call upon my heart within the house, Write loyal words of true love, And sing them loud even in the dead of night so all can hear, Hallow your name above the hills, And make the babbling gossip of the air cry out’ Olivia!’ O, you should not rest Between the elements of air and earth But you should pity me for my love for you is painfully never ending.” D. Viola (as Cesario) is stating that if she were Orsino, she would be outside Olivia’s gate night and day, proclaiming her love, until Olivia took “pity” on her for the strength of that love (as if she were Cesario). E. Olivia is falling in love with Viola (a woman playing the role of a man) trying to help Olivia fall in love with her Lord....

...Explore how Shakespeare and Orwell present forbidden love in ‘Romeo and Juliet’ and ‘1984’. Introduction What is love? What are the main similarities and differences between the presentation of forbidden love in 1984 and Romeo and Juliet? Relate briefly to the contexts of both texts. Paragraph 1 Why does Romeo love Juliet? Why does Winston love Julia? Look at how Romeo is attracted to Juliet for being beautiful and compare it to how Winston loves Julia for her lack of purity. Explore this idea. You could use the quotes: ‘The brightness of cheek would shame those stars’ – Romeo about Juliet, page 53, Romeo and Juliet “Listen. The more men you’ve had, the more I love you. Do you understand?” “Yes, perfectly.” “I hate purity, I hate goodness! I don’t want any virtue to exist anywhere. I want everyone to be corrupt to the bones.” – Winston and Julia, page 144, 1984 (part 2, chapter 2 end) Paragraph 2 What is the connection between hate and love?

...which Shakespeare presents the themes of love and rebellion in Romeo and Juliet and Much Ado about Nothing. In Romeo and Juliet and Much Ado about Nothing, Shakespeare presents the themes of love and rebellion by the way he presents the characters Juliet and Beatrice. He also does this by using different language and poetic devices such as rhyming couplets and animal imagery. In addition he links in the two plays to comedy and tragedy which helps the reader understand how love and rebellion effects one character more than the other. Furthermore, Shakespeare uses the role of stereotypical women in the Elizabethan Era and how it links into the plays theme of love and rebellion. For example, how Juliet and Beatrice deal with the arranged marriage laws. In both plays, Juliet and Beatrice show a similarity towards love as they are stubborn and independent when it comes to love and marriage. However they show these traits in different ways. For example, in Romeo and Juliet, Juliet is fighting for love as her parents want her to marry Paris even though her heart only desires Romeo. Juliet shows more determination and desperation in declaring her love compared to Beatrice. This is due to her parents controlling her future and Romeo being their family’s enemy therefore they are against their marriage. I know this because of when Juliet speaks to her parents and says, “I will not marry yet! And when I do, I swear, it shall be Romeo”. This quote tells me that she is committed and loyal...
