This was a classical ballet in which the subject of love was present in every piece. Love was portrayed not only as triumphant but also in the form of failure. The subject of love was shown in different ways. Some pieces showed the positive aspect of love, some other presented the negative aspect and others showed how complicated love can be.
Some pieces of the show made my heart melt as it reminded me of the romance, the passion and the intimacy of love as it was portrayed in the performances. On the other hand, there were pieces where my heart would weep because I could relate to the pain of not being able to be with the loved person.
One of the pieces that demonstrated the positive aspect was “Melodia,” staged by NikolaiLevitsky and Vera Solovieva. There was an indescribable tenderheartedness between the two performers. They made me think how beautiful it is to be in love, to be intertwined with the loved person. They were depicting what we fantasize that we want in our relationships.
They seemed to have such complicity and enjoyment that swaddled me, and I can say that it seems that the rest of the audience felt the same. As I looked

This piece relates the sad story of a couple that suffered the consequences of a pre-arranged marriage. It was arranged for her to marry a wealthy man from the village. In this piece the young woman fell in love with a poor young man from her village. They gave in to their love regardless of the consequences. They wanted to be together but they were always interrupted and separated by people or circumstances. It was sad to see that the family did not want that union to be a reality, solely because he was poor. Their struggle felt so real that they had me in suspense. I wanted to know who would be in their favor and defend their love. I came to realize that the family, the Rabbi and the village people were all against this “pure”
Essayist, Richard Steele, in his work, “Love Letters,” describes the tactics different men use to court a woman into a relationship. Steele’s purpose is to advise men on how to write letters to women while also crafting a narrative of the woman’s sentiment towards the man. He employs stylistic devices such as alliteration and consonance along with an insightful tone in order to validate his argument that women do not like weak men. Steele opens his essay with the acknowledgement of a third party that he is writing to and also sets the foundation for his argument that women liked to be flirted with in a certain way.
From the 31 Rules of Courtly Love, I agree strongly with rule 31. It states Nothing forbids one woman being loved by two men or one man by two women. Equally important there are many examples displayed of this type of love all over. For instance the television show Love and Hip Hop Atlanta that is broadcasted on VH1, it's one man and two women. Another example includes Sister Wives that broadcasts on TLC which is a television show that involves one man and five wives. However, the movie Twilight also has a love triangle with two men and one woman. Additionally, the most accepted are in a common religion of Muslims, one man, and up to four wives. This form of Courtly Love is now a practice that is showcased to the world in a manner of explanation.
A woman’s only mission, in the 19th and early 20th century, was to get married, take care of her husband and have babies. Often, marriage was nothing more than a practical bond, in other words, a woman didn’t always choose a husband because she was in love. In the short story “The storm” by Kate Chopin and “Lamb to the slaughter” by Roal Dahl a contrast is created between the two main characters concerning the view of love and marriage. The view on the connection between marriage and love differs between Calixta from “The Storm” and Mary from “Lamb to the Slaughter” but coincide when it comes to the conception of marriage.
1862 England (Victorian Era) was somewhat of an uptight society, especially compared to today. The majority of people, especially those in the upper class, were expected to be utmostly prim and proper and follow societal norms at all times. This included love, or what love was defined as during the period. George Meredith, in his poem aptly titled “Modern Love”, sets a scene where a husband and wife are sleeping side by side, both reflecting sorrowfully on their melancholy marriage. Meredith argues in this poem that the institution of modern love is inherently flawed, by exposing to the reader that while the husband and wife still care for each other, they want to leave each other because they are both scared of “modern love”. By doing so, Meredith is able to justify his overarching message that applies to all: love is a feeling that cannot be artificially replicated, and attempting to do so is only a detriment.
In the mid 1900s, Harry Harlow took investigated a new field of research and began studying the components between infant-mother love, especially the importance of contact comfort. Harlow was interested in manipulating the mother figure of infants to identify the root of bonds and love; but since this could easily become unethical to study with humans, he used rhesus monkeys. Based on Freud’s hypothesis, one would think that the importance of receiving milk would be the primary root of a bond between the infant and the mother, but Harlow found that contact comfort was incredibly important, even more so than receiving food (Hock, 2013).
Overall it held my attention. The comedy injected into this play allowed for the more poignant messages to be driven home. I could relate to the respective arguments of the two men. It makes you

'It seems to me, my dear friend, that the music of this ballet will be one of my best creations. The subject is so poetic, so grateful for music, that 1 have worked on it with enthusiasm and written it with the warmth and enthusiasm upon which the worth of a composition always depends." - Tchaikovsky, to Nadia von Meck.
I met her two years ago and we did not have much to say at that time. Little did I know that she would later steal my heart and become an intimate part of my life. As the saying goes "there is someone for anyone at any time in this life" and I was about to find out that this saying was so true. I have had a wall built around me and my defense was as a stronghold to protect myself from all the relationships that have come and gone over the years. I thought that I was meant to be alone in this old life and happiness was forever gone from me. This wonderful woman I am speaking of is Mary Doe, and the joy she has given me has revived my hope and faith that I may have finally found love and peace within. She has made me feel like I am a child
Twelfth Night explores the various representations of love that are universal to the human experience.
In Barbara Graham’s “The Future of Love”, she says long-term fairy tale romance inspires true love believers and their perspective towards love itself. Graham expresses the idea that to her, a lot of relationships fail because both partners in the relationship fall in love with an idealistic view of who the other person is. She explains that couples jump into relationships thinking their significant other was this perfect image they made him/her out to be only to come to realization that it was a figment of their imagination. Graham also defies the sappy happy endings that she says everyone believes in since heartbroken romantics oversee a lot of the incompatibilities and faults in a relationship to make it more
