Critical Analysis Of The Game Of Love And Chance

The last of the three components of love is decision/ commitment. According to, “A Triangular Theory of Love,” this component, “includes the cognitive elements within a relationship.” Furthermore, this is, “the decision that one loves someone else, and in the long term, the commitment to maintain that love” (Sternberg, 1985). In other words, this is choosing to develop a relationship with an individual and choosing to love and remain loyal to that one partner for a long time, or life. Similarity, “the cognitive component, which reflects the decision to make a long-term commitment to a loved one” (Kassin, Fein, & Markus, 2016). In other terms, this long-term decision to stay with a loved is mainly based on the fact that the couple is in love.

Love is such a complicated word, it is so simple to see it as a simple math problem with a one or two letter response but in all actuality, love is much much more complicated. It is this thought that what we have interpreted here on this earth is one type of love and God has another type of love designed for us. In the book “The General Theory of Love” it discusses this idea of love through attachment and how the baby monkey if given a choice can choose whether it gets comfort and safety from one surrogate mother or food and nourishment from another. The result each time is the same, the baby monkey will select the surrogate mother of comfort and safety over nourishment and this result then creates this question of “what is love really?” (Lewis, Amini, Landon, 72).

F. Scott Fitzgerald stated, “There are all kinds of love in this world but never the same love twice.” Although this is true, and there are as many types of love as people who experience them, there are key elements needed in creating the “true love” each of us strives to possess. Psychologist Robert J. Sternberg explains these vital components in his Triangular Theory of Love. According to his theory, love is comprised of intimacy, commitment, and passion. Different types of love are the result of the various combinations of these elements. His metaphorical theory helps to define and explain the theme of various types of love presented in Thomas Hardy’s Far From the Madding Crowd, Alexander Dumas’ The Count of Monte Cristo, and Edith Wharton’s The Age of Innocence.

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.

Obviously "love" is not a measurable thing; you can't test our blood for love levels, you can’t test whether or not we feel love and how we feel it. You can’t time love – it can come completely inconvenient and shatter your whole world. It can take all from a moment to a few hours or days or weeks to months to fall in love. Love is an uncertain size and we can never really know how, when and who we will fall in love with. Or can we? Can we decide whom we want to fall for and when?

In Money Can't Buy Love: Asymmetric Beliefs about Gift Price and Feelings of Appreciation by Francis Flynn and Gabrielle Adams, they talk deeply about the amount of gifts that people buy. For instance millions of Americans are always buying items and gifts every single day. It is especially this way during the month of December when shoppers “spent over $30 billion at retail stores”(Flynn and Adams 5). The massive amount of shopping for gifts for people who may not even like them is considered a bad habit to economists. People buy things for people who wouldn’t normally buy those things to begin with. It represents a waste in resources and is “referred to as ‘the deadweight loss of Christmas’” which is because people tend to overspend on gifts

A universal theme could apply to anyone, anywhere, anytime. Such as love. Anyone, anywhere could fall/be in love.That's not the only type of love though and thats not always how it can turn out to be. You never know who, what, why and where you can find your true love. It can be comforting, dangerous, and can put you in all types of awkwars positions. For example, in "Beautiful Creatures" a fantasy, young-adult fiction, romance novel written by authors "Kami Garci" and "Margaret Stohl"and in "Matched"also an young-adult, romance written by "Ally Condie. With both of these texts i can compare and contrast, how they both fall in love and deal with it and the consequences. In Beautiful Creatures you can run away from many things but not love. Matched shows that not everything will go as planned.

Throughout the course of our lives we will experience the deterioration of a loved one due to illness or aging. This may cause us to make a choice of how and where we choose our loved one to die. Authors, Carolyn Jaffe and Carol H. Ehrlich, in their book All Kinds of Love, illustrate how the relationships between doctors, patients', family, friends, hospice volunteers, and hospice nurses all play an important role during he patients last days as they try to reach a "good death". In the book's foreword, Rabbi Earl A. Grollman comments on Jaffe's history of nursing experience and states "Her stories bring alive the concerns, the surprises, the victories, the disappointments, the mistakes, the uncertainties, the joys, and the pain that are

This play is a very worthwhile book to read because of its strong theme and literary excellence. Although many people may have not specifically experienced Blanche and Stella’s loss of Belle Reve, many can relate to their painful loneliness. The tension and conflict resulting from the unfulfilled search for love while combating solitude, is a common human experience.

One boundless power in our universe is the power of love, which rips down barriers and creates a world where everything is in harmony. Love’s immense strength can be portrayed throughout literature. In Shakespeare's play, Romeo and Juliet, and John Green’s book, Fault in Our Stars, the theme that love overpowers everything is conveyed throughout the pages. In Shakespeare’s play, two-star crossed lovers fall in love despite the quarrel of their families. In John Green’s book, two cancer-stricken teenagers fall in love despite their limitations. The theme of love overpowering everything is evident in both stories through the external conflicts that failed to prevent their love, the lovers going great lengths to see each other, and deaths of the other lover.

The science of love When do you know if you fancy someone? What does love do to your brain chemicals, and is falling in love just nature's way to keep our species alive?  We call it love. It feels like love. But the most exhilarating of all human emotions is probably nature’s beautiful way of keeping the human species alive and reproducing. With an irresistible cocktail of chemicals, our brain entices us to fall in love. We believe we’re choosing a partner. But we may merely be the happy victims of nature’s lovely plan.

Deep-Grained Love “A Worn Path” “’Out of my way, all you foxes, owls, beetles, jack rabbits, coons and wild animals! Keep the big wild hogs out of my path. Don’t let none of those come running my direction. I got a long way’” (92) English Literature, Robert Diyanni. A Worn Path is an eloquent story, written in third person narration with colorful language that draws the reader deeper into the plot and the setting of the story.

Two stand in the center, one yearns for the power to not be a burden, the other wishes for the power to lift any hardship, yet both walk together, the strings of many emotions tying them together. As they stand together in me, they stood together outside of me. Mayhaps they, together, might stay here intertwined for a lifetime. Even now, though, a force pushes against my walls like the swelling tide of a raging sea, fully intent on shattering my fortifications, but I shall not let it. I will not let him steal my family.

Max Shulman’s piece, “Love is a fallacy” expresses many arguments expressed during every day social interactions. In the piece, the author comes into contact with his roommate, Petey Bellows and a possible love interest, Polly Espy. The author makes many unjustified guess pertaining to their wisdom and intelligence, and these false pretenses contribute to his interactions with the two, and he aims to take advantage of the opportunity of manipulating the two into achieving his own selfish desires. His plan backfires, and he is forced to reconsider his actions. In the process, Max Shulman reveals that his piece is both anti-women, anti-men, and Shulman underestimates the intuitive and emotional aspects of love.
