An Endless Love

The breaking point of Scobie starting to feel overly compassionate about Louise seems to be the death of their daughter Catherine; ever since, he is not able to love anybody else, only through pity. It is very likely that he once truly loved Louise but throughout the book, his only feeling towards her is “pity love,” a term used by Greene himself, and the exceptional feeling of responsibility for her happiness. “Louise said, ‘I’ve known it for years. You don’t love me.’ … ‘That’s your conscience,’ she said, ‘your sense of duty. You’ve never loved anyone since Catherine died’” (Greene 57). At one point in the novel, he is feeling truly at peace when he believes to have made given Louise what she wanted – to leave. “I’ve prayed for peace and

The first time he kisses Ryou, he thinks let me drag you down with me. He's stuck in the liminal stages between self-recrimination and self-adulation, of I tread where none did before, Alexander and Caesar and Napoleon all, and I almost destroyed what I had left of what was mine, and Ryou's responding caress is his consent, proof that he's already there, wherever down may be.

Jade comes through the door and throws her purse onto the table, “God, I don’t understand why this town is suddenly full of crime.

This is ridiculous.” she rants, getting more frustrated as she goes

Jilly starts to choke and Jolly saves her from dying (184-6). Going back to school and being in a new environment has made her become more responsible. Before if Jilly had choked, Jolly would not have known what to do anything, but now after going back to school and being in that environment she is responsible.

Similarly, Melanie tries to escape the patriarchal nature of Philip who “can’t abide a woman in trousers…’no make-up, mind. And only speak, when your spoken to. He likes, you know, silent women.”(P. 62-23) He tries to put Melanie in place of the swan in his show and treat her like a puppet. “Philip’s voice…moved dark and sonorous against the moaning of the fiddle. The swan made a lumpish jump forward and settled on her loins. She thrust with all her force to get rid of it…the gilded beak dug deeply into the soft flesh. She screamed hardly realizing she was screaming. The obscene swan had mounted her.” (p.165-167) This scene is very disturbing as Philip tries to take Melanie’s sexual agency away, making the tone of this episode is very dark

Arguably, no other group in United States history has been as oppressed as the American Indians.

However, the United States Government can do significantly more than they are doing to help remediate the problems of the educational system and fix some current issues on the American Indian reservations in the United States.

“Love is complex: considered simply in itself, it is neither honorable nor a disgrace-its character depends entirely on the behavior it gives rise to,” (Plato 183d). There are two different types of love that Pausanius refers to, which are the common and heavenly love. The common love is based on your love for someone for their body, sex or beauty making it physical love and desire for a person. Heavenly love is love for the mind such as your intelligence and strength, someone you can benefit from making one more wise. Any love that is encountered has a purpose whether is it the love between a mother and daughter or the love between a husband and wife. In the end, all love leads and is directed to virtue and improves the loved ones.

"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"

These three types of love, Philia, Eros, and Agape are expressed by the different characters in the play. The expression of the theme of love in the play is not just there by accident; William Shakespeare put it in this comedic and romantic play with a purpose.
