A Woman's Lust

The novel The Divine Wind (1998) by Garry Disher and the 2003 film, Japanese Story, directed by Sue Brooks both explore the common theme of 'love' through the use of novel and film techniques. Through the studying of the context and textual form of both of these texts, a greater understanding of the important ideas is achieved.

To begin with, Ayn Rand utilizes imagery to attract the reader to show what love really means.Equality 7-2521 is genuinely awed by Liberty 5-3000's physiognomy because he remarks “[her] body was straight and thin as a blade of iron. [her] eyes were dark … with no fear in them, no kindness and no guilt. [her] hair was golden as the sun; [her] hair flew in the wind, shining and wild, as if it defied men to restrain it”(Rand). The Golden One is defined with very precise word choice, because she’s unlike anyone else he had ever seen.The mode is settled because he seems to really be attracted to the absence of fear and guilt he sees in her eyes.Equality 7-2521's introductory incident of love is exquisite as ”[he] stood still; for the first time did [he] know fear, and then pain…[he] stood still as [he] might...spill this pain more precious than pleasure “ although he is experiencing immense levels of pain, the love he feels is far greater than he had ever felt(Rand). It's also astounding that this is the first time Equality confesses he is afraid of something.This sets the tone of the book because he doesn’t mind the pain because the thrill of being there is all he can ponder about.Soon they get closer to each other and, ”When [he] touched [her], it was as if madness had stricken [them]...as…[they] pressed [their] lips [together]... and then [her] arms closed around [his]”(Rand). Equality eventually runs away from the city to the Uncharted Forest because the society doesn’t accept his ideas and The Golden One follows him. Both of them end up in the Uncharted Forest and then engaged in a passionate show of love described by intricate

People fall in love with the the person they think will be with them for ever but in the end they do wrong actions and they crush their heart. In The Great Gatsby, “Everything Stuck To Him”, and The “Jilting of Granny Weatherall” all these stories are good examples of the human condition love and how it blinds us on our sense of reasoning or causing us pain. In The Great Gatsby by Fitzgerald, F. Scott, Gatsby gets blinded by his love for Daisy and takes blame for an action he didn’t do. In another story “Everything Stuck to Him” by Carver, Raymond the boy is faced with a big problem choosing his love for his family or going hunting with an old friend. “The Jilting of Granny Weatherall” by Porter, Katherine Anne shows that love is tragic when granny is on her deathbed and remembers her ex who left her at the alter.

Most pieces of art have a deeper meaning than what is simply expressed on the surface. Through emotions, symbols, and motifs, an artist can portray a unique story; however, despite the use of creative symbols, distinct stories can show a similar theme. Two such examples are the short film Destino by Salvador Dali and Walt Disney and The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, which share the common theme of “the struggle of obtaining dreams”. Based on what is shown in these works of art, it is a challenge to attain dreams.

As coined by the Father of His Country, “It is far better to be alone, than to be in bad company.” This is doubly appropriate as love is nothing more than a series of traumatic and disappointing events. Certain authors utilize their works to portray love from their perspective and/or experience. In “Love Song, with Two Goldfish” by Grace Chua, the author illustrates rejection in the most heartbreaking way possible. In the poem “What Love Isn’t” by Yrsa Daley-Ward, she depicts love as unbearable and somber rather than the joyful and wholesome experience consistently shown throughout pop culture. In the short story, “Was It a Dream?” by Guy de Maupassant, the narrator grieves the loss of his beloved only to have his feelings of woe amplified by betrayal. Through their illustrations, the authors show that love is an extraordinary experience that is often filled with pain, distrust, and despair.

As the popular saying goes: if you love something, set it free. This is used as a test of sorts to find out if love is true love. This distinction between different kinds of love is important because sometimes love can hurt everyone that is involved. Artists choose many methods to get this idea across in their works. One of them, C.S. Lewis, chose to convey this message using beauty and justice.

law enforcement officers bringing up the rear paints the perfect picture for the 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge. This is exactly what happened in muscle car cult film Two lane Black Top in which Warren Oates raced the Orbit Orange (see figure1.)1970 GTO Judge across country, up against a 1955 Chevrolet Bel aire. An infamous statement from Warren Oates in the movie was “color me gone” as he referred to his 1970 GTO Judge. In fact this car is considered by gear heads to be the ultimate muscle car for

As Diane Ackerman uses similes to describe some of the negative attributes of love, she considers “Perhaps this is why Cupid is depicted with a quiver of arrows because at times love feels like being pierced in the chest. It is a wholesome violence.” In other words, the author connects the famous love symbol known as Cupid and reveals its deeper representation of love, although love appears warm such as Cupid does, there are still those dangers of getting hurt

Love is a universal theme in life, and creative minds all over the world constantly find new ways to incorporate it into their work. Such artists include Belgian surrealist painter Rene Magritte, with his painting The Lovers, and French author Albert Camus, writer of The Stranger. The Lovers’ primary subjects are two individuals, a man and a woman, locked in an intimate embrace. They have their faces enshrouded with a white veil, preventing them from viewing each other. The man is wearing a black suit and the woman dons a red garment. Behind them is a cloudy night sky, while above is a white wall and to the right, a red wall. Camus’ work does not focus on love as a major theme, yet Meursault, the main character, does end up engaging in a romantic relationship with a woman named Marie. From the very beginning, their relationship seems to be based solely on physical desires, the inability to unveil their partner’s true character, as well as a failure to express one’s own emotions toward their partner. This lack of both expression and understanding between the couple in the novel ties into Magritte’s painting, since its subjects also experience this problem because of the cloth covering their relationship.

Obvious from the start is the artist's careful attention to details, illustrated in the richly decorated background and characters' attire. Employing this general density automatically enhances the Virgin's gaze, making it charged with severity, intense. On

The inability of Giovanni to control his lustful desires, as Castiglione might explain, rests on the reality that the reasonable and rational soul finds itself trapped in the "earthly prison" of the physical body. Beauty attracts praise and admiration, however "the mind is seized by desire for the beauty which it recognizes as good." Governed by the senses, the physique "falls into the gravest errors'' and wrongly assumes that true beauty results from the beautiful outer appearance, rather than the ethical and moral soul within. There, "deprived of spiritual contemplation, the soul cannot of itself clearly perceive the truth when it is carrying out the duties of governing the body," that makes one vulnerable and can be manipulated by desire.

In his The Life of An Amorous Woman, Ihara Saikaku traces the demise of a woman whose thoughts and actions were controlled by insatiable lust and sexual desire. She begins as a wife and then progresses to a court lady-in-waiting, a concubine to a feudal lord, courtesan, priest’s mistress, brothel prostitute, and, finally a streetwalker. Though courtesans did not play a major role in ancient Japan, by the seventeenth century, the courtesan class was sanctioned by the government to the extent that official decrees created a separate district to enclose them and put up physical boundaries that mirrored the division between them and traditional prostitutes. According to Chesemore in her essay, Women of the Floating World, “as in all areas of Japanese life, attention was paid to the distinctions in the rank of the various inhabitants of this world, and clearly the courtesan reigned supreme” (Chesemore, 1990). Saikaku writes that, because of her beauty and talent, she had her choice of men, and “in the streets she walks with her head held high and does not step aside for anyone.” Far from the traditional Confucian gender roles, the amorous woman can afford to be haughty, as she was showered with gifts and other luxuries.

"In a perfect world, when he's with her, he would be wishing he was with me; when he looked at her, he would be looking at me; when he smiled at her, his smile would be for me; when he thought about someone, he would be thinking about me. In a perfect world, he would realize that I'm the one he was supposed to be with & I would still be standing here waiting for him still when he finally knows this. But this isn't a perfect world and people do get hurt. Because how can you give your dreams to someone else, yet share your dreams with me? Sometimes the truest love is the love that can never be"
