She Loves Me takes place in the 1930s and is an enchanted romantic musical play about two people falling in love with one another. The two main actors, Mr. Nowack and Ms. Balash, work together in a saloon and from the very beginning they could never stand one another’s presence. One reason why they could not get along is that Mr. Nowack thought Ms. Balash was arrogant while she believed he was selfish and parsimonious. If they were in the same room with one another for too long they would cause some dramatic scene. Every time they were in the saloon working together they would have all the attention from the customers and or other employees because of their nonstop bickering arguments. As the play went on the audience began to realize that these two actors each had a pen pal and inside the letters, they would express their passion for one another. Shortly after they started writing the letters the audience was able to detect that Mr. Nowack and Ms. Balash were falling in love with one another even though they believe they hated each other. They were falling in love not by appearance but by what was being addressed in the weekly letters they received. Appearance does not play a role in love it's about someone’s character and that is demonstrated throughout the entire play. The two actors started realizing that they were falling for each other when they would sing iconic songs such as: “She Loves Me”, “Will He Like Me”, and “Vanilla Ice Cream”. Further, into the play, Mr.

Love is unique in its striking ability to be a driving force in dictating interpersonal relationships. It patterns behavior and orients individuals towards their distinct, unique attractions. According to Velleman, love penetrates deeper than one’s qualities; it extends to one’s rational will, or the essence of a person. To him, though love appears to have particularity, it is also a moral emotion. Kolodny subscribes to the relationship theory, asserting that an ongoing, interpersonal, and historical relationship with a relative is a part of the reason for love. In Kolodny’s view, the existence of the true self is irrelevant, as is the morality of love. Both Velleman and Kolodny disprove the quality theory; however, their perceptions of love and its morality differ. I believe that Kolodny is correct in his view that morality is irrelevant to love and that there must be factual reasons for love. Although it is enticing to believe that one is attracted to the essence of another, the essence is not motivation enough for love. The relationship theory takes into account the motivation needed to love a particular person from a historical, interpersonal, and ongoing perspective.

Eavan Boland’s poem “It’s a Woman’s World” illuminates the fact that history has shaped an unfair role for women in today’s society. Boland criticizes the gender bias with regards to the limitations placed on women and their job choices despite their ability to be just as successful in the workplace as men. Regardless of the fact that the bias against women in the workplace is often overlooked, Boland aims to show the shared reaction of women to the gender bias prevalent in our society by using short sentence fragments, repetition, and a fire motif throughout the poem.

The masters were still happily together after six years, but the disasters were broken up or had really bad marriages. Those people who are masters all have a same characteristic that is they understand how to use kindness to manage their marriage, so I extent Smith’s claim “Kindness makes each partner feel cared for, understood, and validated---feel loved.”

Unlike other forms of literature, poetry can be so complex that everyone who reads it may see something different. Two poets who are world renowned for their ability to transform reader’s perceptions with the mere use of words, are TS Eliot and Walt Whitman. “The love song of J Alfred Prufrock” by TS Eliot, tells the story of a man who is in love and contemplating confessing his emotions, but his debilitating fear of rejection stops him from going through with it. This poem skews the reader’s expectations of a love song and takes a critical perspective of love while showing all the damaging emotions that come with it. “Song of myself”, by Walt Whitman provokes a different emotion, one of joy and self-discovery. This poem focuses more on the soul and how it relates to the body. “Song of myself” and “The love song of J Alfred Prufrock” both explore the common theme of how the different perceptions of the soul and body can affect the way the speaker views themselves, others, and the world around them.

Life is a very long and unpredictable roller coaster that takes people on an up and down emotional journey never-failing to twist and turn on you at every corner. However, in life there are a few constant things that help ground us and keep us sane. One of these things is love and the special bonds we make that help us to live and function everyday. The painting “Self Portrait as a Tehuana” (1943) by Frida Kahlo and the poem “My Husband’s Back” (2005) by Susan Minot are both passionate works of art that engrave into the viewer of reader that the bonds created between you and the one you love is unbreakable, forwarding the sentiment that love is eternal. Handlining themes of desire and pleasure, divisions, conflict, and multiple forces insides

“To Brooklyn Bridge” was directly inspired by T.S. Eliot’s “The Wasteland” and Walt Whitman’s “Crossing Brooklyn Ferry,” but the poem itself does not contain words or phrases that directly correlate to those specific poets and their respective poems. Instead, the overall atmosphere of the poem may remind readers of Eliot and Whitman. First of all, once again according to the anthology, “To Brooklyn Bridge” is a hopeful reply to “The Wasteland,” where Eliot writes of a fractured world, a perspective Crane shares, but his response paints a more optimistic picture. Crane accomplishes this by “using the Brooklyn Bridge as its prime symbol… to restore meaning and unity to a fragmented and dissonant modern world” (Axelrod 626). The Bridge is a manmade effort that is capable of connecting the fragmented world. This hope is also reminiscent of Whitman’s ideas of an idealistic and unified America. Yet, a more significant influence from Whitman is the theme of repressed homosexuality that is present in the poem. With both poets being homosexual, it is no surprise that Crane was influenced by Whitman. The second to last stanza

Love makes people become selfish, but it is also makes the world greater. In this poem, the world that the speaker lives and loves is not limited in “my North, my South, my East and West / my working week and my Sunday rest” (9-10), it spreads to “My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song (11). The poem’s imagery dominates most of the third stanza giving readers an image of a peaceful world in which everything is in order. However, the last sentence of the stanza is the decisive element. This element not only destroys the inner world of the speaker, but it also sends out the message that love or life is mortal.

One of the most important components for the movie is aesthetic. The reason is that aesthetic can create atmosphere and mood. Especially, one of the most famous Hong kong director Wong Kar Wai, who direct In the mood for Love (2000) put many elements of Aesthetic such as Mise en scene, sounds and cinematography. Aesthetic is an essential factor to construct a character, and create mood. Especially Wong Kar Wai has unique aesthetic to elicit emotion. “” Those components can bring audience to the movie. In this essay, I will argue that the subject of heartrending but romantic narrative has been depicted through the two components which are mise en scene, cinematography and sound. This will be done by analyzing every scene, followed by analyzing each element of the film aesthetic.
