...Love vs. Lust Although love is the most common term for a person to express his/her attraction to someone, but love can be just a layer covering lust underneath, which creates a mixed feeling that could lead to unwanted situation. Love is a strong feeling of affection for another person. In Martin Luther Kings’s Pilgrimage to Nonviolence he indicated to different kinds of love; it can be eros, philia and agape love. Philia love is the kind of love that is purely of any romantic or sexual feelings. This is the kind of feelings that we have towards our neighbors, friends, and the people around us whom we are fond of. Eros love is known as romantic love. Agape love is the unconditional love or disinterested love for example the kind of love that God have towards us or love we have for our community and we do not wait for anything back. In contrary, lust is the urge or passionate to want to have someone mostly for sexual satisfaction. This kind of feeling is usually evident between individuals of the opposite gender. For lust to exist, love need not be present. Actually, lust can be termed as the opposite of love and it focuses more on the physical aspects. Lust is not necessarily in the term of sexual feelings but also it is the urge to want to posses’ items like clothes for the purpose of lavishing it. It is possible for someone to have a mix feeling between love and lust. In love, people desire the best for those people they love and they would do anything to make them happy...

...interesting short stories and I found that the theme of love kept appearing also with Tartuffe. Love comes in all different ways. I will discuss the theme of love in Winter Dreams by F. Scott Fitzgerald and What We Talk about When We Talk about Love by Raymond Carver. I saw that there was Lust and Love in these two stories. The word lust is defined as an intense longing or unbridled sexual desire.(lust). The word love is defined as a feeling of strong or constant affection for a person. (love). The difference between them is very simple, love is constant and lust is just an intense longing that can end anytime. A person is blinded when they lust for someone but true love is based on respecting each other and understanding each other’s likes and dislikes giving it a better chance to last longer. In Carver’s story, there are two relationships present that I want to go into more detail that will help show whether love or lust is stronger. In Fitzgerald’s story, one man is in love with a woman who doesn't love him and ends up losing a woman for his future. I chose these two stories because they were able to give a variety of love that is present in our world today. Raymond Carver’s title to his story, What We Talk about When We Talk about Love, just seems like a dead end already before you can even start reading. It already gives an obvious idea of what the story is about. Throughout the story Mel does his very best to figure out what love is, while they sit around a table in the kitchen...

...Shakespeare’s Sonnets: Form: 14 lines, each with ten stressed and unstressed syllables known as iambic pentameter (rhythm of the heartbeat) Genre: Lyric poetry – Lyric poetry presents the deep feelings and emotions of the poet as opposed to poetry that tells a story or presents a witty observation. Rhyme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GG Rhymes may be ear-rhymes or eye-rhymes: an ear-rhyme is one that rhymes in sound, e.g. “increase” and “decrease”; an eye-rhyme is one that rhymes by sight, e.g. “compare” and “are”. Structure: This rhyme sequence sets the usual structure of the sonnet as three quatrains (sets of four lines) concluding with 1 couplet (a pair of lines). It is usual for there to be a pause for thought in the sonnet’s message at the end of each quatrain, especially the 2nd, in order to add tension, with the sonnet resolving to its objective in the final couplet, just as a song normally resolves to its root chord at its close. To convey the sense of resolution and completeness at the end of the sonnet there are often key-words, or tie-words, present in the closing couplet that are also present in the earlier quatrains. This structuring provides a framework on which to build the words, phrases, themes, rhymes, syncopation, punctuation and rhythm of the sonnet making it, at its best, a self-contained work of art. Having established this structure though, the author can then go on to breach the framework to add tension and meaning: a quatrain will not necessarily comprise...

...“Love is the strongest and most fragile thing we have in life.” -Vanessa Paradis. Love is an emotional connection between two people. Love is a strong bond between friends, soul mates, or family. Though love can be a strong bond between two people, it can prove to be even more fragile. One mistake, one misstep and the love can disappear. In William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream it is evident, through the actions of Oberon and Lysander, that love can be both strong and fragile. In the play A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the actions of Oberon allows the reader to question the strength of the love between the Fairy King and Titania. Oberon is portrayed to have two personalities. Though he can be caring, loving, and benevolent. Oberon is...

...capacities by an ideological discourse. Sex has no history but sexuality does. French Philosopher Michel Foucault thought that sexuality was, “a set of effects produced in bodies, behaviors, and social relations by a certain deployment.” Sexuality for a person can be narrowed down to what a person is attracted to, their desires, and pleasures. In the article, “Is There a History of Sexuality?” by David M. Halperin sexually defines itself as separate, sexual domain, within the larger field of human psychophysical nature. For some cultures it is considered natural and psychological but different people feel different ways about that unproven theory. Sexuality effects different people due to their cultures views on passion, libertinism, eroticism, love, affection, and desire. Athenians felt like that was when people were sexually attracted to the same...

...‘‘Love vs. Hate relationship” After watching the film “A Dollhouse” by Hendrik Ibsen, I seen that there is was a love and hate relationship between the characters Mrs. Linde and Nora. A contrasting difference in the characters, are shown not in the characters themselves, but the role that they play in their marriages. These two women have different relationships with their husbands. Torvald and Nora have a relationship where there is no fairness. She plays the submissive role in a society where the lady plays the passive role. Her most important duty is to please her husband, Torvald, making her role similar to a slave. Torvald also considers himself to be superior to her. Nora was raised in such a way that her role in their day and time required her to do whatever her husband said to do. It all started when she was younger and her father never gave her the opportunity to think for herself and to be independent. That lead her to being so submissive and the results was her not being able to have her own mind. As for Cristine and Krogstad their relationship is much more open to us. It is clear that if Cristine and Krogstad were to engage in an argument, it is more likely that they would come to an agreement soon after. When Mrs. Linde and Nora are put in comparison, both are willing to sacrifice themselves for other things that are dear to them. Mrs. Linde shows her loyalty to her family when she knew that she had the right to...

...relationship with "Prince Charming." Sibyl is in love. Mrs. Vane's attitude is more realistic and down-to-earth. She wants her daughter to think of her career. Sibyl has all the idealistic enthusiasm of an innocent seven-teen-year-old. Wilde states the metaphor describing that "joy of a caged bird was in her voice." Sibyl does not want to hear about Mr. Isaacs or money. What is money compared to love? James hates the "young dandy" who is courting his sister. He warns his sister that the man wants to enslave her and repeatedly threatens to kill the "gentleman" if he does Sibyl any wrong. Why was it added? The absence of Dorian and Lord Henry from this chapter makes it seem like filler. It is a chance for the reader to catch a breath after the whirlwind engagement announcement that ended the previous chapter. However, this short chapter serves an important function in the novel; it introduces and describes characters and sets up events that will be developed later in the story. After controversy of the first publication, this innocent girl is introduced to cool the situation. It can also be argued that chapter 5 was added in order to humanise Sibyl – before she is a ‘creature’ and this makes her seem more ‘real’. The characters Sibyl is described as "the girl" -> infantile like Dorian -> naivety, innocence -> "pouted" childish again -> her dismissal of the importance of money is presented as idealistic and childish "love is more than money" -> "the joy of a caged...

...Dating and Mating: Secular View vs. Biblical View Brandon Gilford L22164457 Liberty University PSYC 101-D02 LUO Introduction How do you find your perfect match? How do you find your partner for life? And when you meet that someone, how do you know you've made the right choice? These are questions we all ask at some point in our life during the dating and mating process. There are many different views and answers to these questions, but in this paper I want to focus on the secular world views and the biblical views and how both views contradict each other. The Secular View on Dating and Mating Popular or mass culture (including advertising and self-help books) is the most obvious and direct influence on the attitudes associated with the pursuit of romantic relationships (Paul Hollander, Expert Advice on Dating and Mating, p.1) Romance today is now filtered through a media that says marriage is a joke, gay marriages are considered normal, and divorce is your way out. In seeking a mate the world tends to go to the internet dating sites, and social networks for direction. People are also swayed by what the media says is ideal to pursue through TV shows, movies, and talk shows. In today’s world love means sex, and if you’re not sexy then you can’t possibly find the love you are searching for. So the world puts all of there focus completely on things like age...

...Macbeth is a play that adheres to a typical Elizabethan tragedy, which follows the journey of a noble protagonist, who is flawed in some way, placed in a demanding situation, ending with a fatal conclusion. On the same note, hamartia and hubris qualities deem Macbeth himself to be the ultimate tragic hero, flawed with erupting ambition. Macbeth is an ever evolving character who loses his nobility to acts of murder. ‘The higher you are the harder you fall’ governs Macbeth his fall is a result of his own actions. Paradoxical themes of Ambition Vs. Power, Appearance Vs. Reality and Fate vs. Free Will, dictate the future and irrational decisions made by the tragic hero. It is evident that through Macbeth’s murderous actions, in Act 2 Scene 1, Act 3 Scene 4 and Act 5 Scene 8 that he finds it hard to restrain himself, causing him to escape his moral compass. Macbeth’s insanity manifests his downfall which is plagued by his love for Lady Macbeth, his belief in the prophecy, fate and ultimately his tragic flaw of ambition. Undoubtedly, Macbeth’s own actions lead to psychological torment and the degradation of his moral sensibilities. In Act 2 Scene 1, Macbeth’s soliloquy reveals his true thoughts and feelings to the audience. Antithesis is used at the commencement and conclusion of this monologue to emphasise the idea of contrast, in terms of inherently good and evil forces. “I have thee not yet I see thee still” and “ words to the heat of deeds too cold a breath gives”...

...Pope John Paul II’s Theology of the Body A Cliff Notes’ Version Introduction A. The Theology of the Body is the term used to describe the teaching of Pope John Paul about the human person and human sexuality given during his Wednesday Catecheses in St. Peter’s Square between September 5, 1979 and November 28, 1984. John Paul II says that these catecheses could be called “Human Love in the Divine Plan” or “The Redemption of the Body and the Sacramentality of Marriage.” B. Various scholars, in different language groupings, will generally break the theology of the body found in these 129 catecheses down into four main sections, others six. I think the most logical way to do so is to break it down into seven interrelated sections: 1) The Original Unity of Man and Woman as found in the Book of Genesis • 23 catecheses from September 5, 1979-April 9, 1980 2) Purity of Heart versus Concupiscence: Catechesis on the Sermon on the Mount • 27 catecheses from April 16 to December 10, 1980 3) St. Paul’s Teaching on the Human Body: Life according to the Spirit • 13 catechesis from December 17, 1980 to May 6, 1981 4) Marriage and celibacy in light of the resurrection of the body • 9 catechesis from November 11, 1981 to February 10, 1982 5) Virginity or celibacy for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven • 14 catecheses from March 10, 1982 to July 21, 1982 6) The sacramentality of marriage based on Ephesians 5:22-33 • 27 catecheses from July 28, 1982 to July 4, 1984 7) Reflections...

...Professor ENGL 102-B54 LUO 3 February 2014 “The Lottery” vs. “The Rocking-Horse Winner” In “The Rocking-Horse Winner,” by D. H. Lawrence, and “The Lottery,” by Shirley Jackson, the two authors illustrate symbols and themes throughout their stories in which one common idea is present: perhaps winning is not always positive. “The Rocking-Horse Winner,” by D.H. Lawrence is a fictional story about a woman’s obsession for money and the lack of love and affection she shows to her family. Her son Paul hopes to change his mother’s mind-set in order to gain her love by becoming lucky. Paul discovers a way to become lucky from a rocking horse that he receives as a Christmas present. He perceives that this horse has magical powers, which empowers him to predict the winner of horse races. Paul becomes more and more obsessed with becoming lucky to appease his mother but eventually loses his life. “The Lottery,” by Shirley Jackson, is a short story of an annual tradition in which a small New England town randomly draws one person’s name to be the winner of the lottery. This lucky person will neither win money nor a special prize; instead are stoned to death by the rest of the community. This story gives a different meaning to the event called a lottery. D.H. Lawrence proves many points by using the following themes: obsession for money, trying to win a mother’s love and affection, gaining no affection after achieving such luck, and death. "The Rocking-Horse Winner,"...

...Cody Stetson Mr. Nester AP Writing/English 12 3 March 2015 The Color Purple Feminism in women's movements has been a prominent impact that revolutionizes women's rise for independence and equality amongst men. The ideology of feminism is shown rather often in various works of literature, through various different literature time periods. The way it is depicted in these novels can often include other various objective prejudices, such as racism or sexism. The Color Purple, by Alice Walker, depicts the same ideology, along with those extra prejudices, throughout the endeavors of her more prominent characters, such as Celie or Shug Avery. Walker's novel is a prime representation of the vocalization of women's true voices throughout the gender differences that plagued them and their entirety. Celie is a prime example of how unruly prejudice and direct insults can be on a woman of her time. She was portrayed as a character that is always quiet, never outspoken, lacking self-confidence, and is considered to have an appearance like that of a hag-woman, for men and women alike never compliment her for her own looks or features. Men like Alphonso and Mr. ____ only see Celie as yet another object in their lives, and treat her with the same respect as the whites did slaves during societal times before hers. The treatment of women in this novel as well as the absurdity and abuse from the men that correlate to this novel can directly be assumed by most female characters and their...
