Hannah Ardent's Interpretation Of Love

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.

Ever since the beginning of time, love has played an enormous role among humans. Everyone feels a need to love and to be loved. Some attempt to fill this yearning with activities and possessions that will not satisfy – with activities in which they should not participate and possessions they should not own. In Andrew Marvell’s poem, “To His Coy Mistress,” the speaker encounters an emotion some would call love but fits better under the designation of lust for a woman. In contrast, the speaker of Robert Herrick’s poem, “To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time,” urges virgins to marry, to make a lasting commitment in which love plays a

responded, “I hope I do. I hope my affection for them will ever keep me

Mandy Len Catron, Modern Love issues are about her experiences with weird love experiments. In one of her articles “To Stay in Love, Sign on the Dotted line” Catron writes “it reminds us that love isn’t something that happens to us- it’s something we’re making together”. “It” represents love and she believes that both partners must contribute to the relationship if they want the bond to grow and if they want to feel love. Catron made a contract with her partner, Mark, that explains everything from finances to chores to their expectations in their future and lasts 12 months with an option to renew.

Throughout his book Modern Romance, Aziz Ansari the author develops and explains concepts that are involved in romantic relationships. In his arguments he describes certain points that explain how romances were modernized with the advancement of the technology. The growth of technology has created new sources of communication like for example socials networks and other websites in the internet that allow people to have an easier search to find a partner when they are looking for one. One of the biggest arguments that author talks about is when he describes how technology has played an important role in romantic relationships. The use of technology that exists in the present day has become excessive and it is a good argument to discuss in the essay. Up to today the online services and socials networking sites have become important factor s in the search for that “perfect someone” that people want to share the rest of our lives with, but at the same time it becomes a dangerous weapon that disappoints, lies and destroys romantic relationships. It’s not really that technology influences bad things; but it is more up to the responsibility of people and the purpose they use it for. The fact that the technology has become a very helpful tool to date someone is something very common to do nowadays but also it is dangerous because people do not really know who they are talking to or who is behind the computers monitors. Although

Humanity yearns for love. Love erases boredom and grants meaning, and consequently, humans will strive to love. Interpersonal romance is the predominant form of love, but one can love an idea or an object as well. However, for many people, love can prove difficult to find; hence, life becomes dreary and tedious, a vat of misery. Therefore, at times, a person will inflate a person or an idea to be perfect, to create love, in a sense, so that reality may not be so harsh. Thus, the idea of romanticism arises, where a person inflates an object or an idea to perfection, so that a person may love. In the story “Interpreter of Maladies,” by Jhumpa Lahiri, Mr. Kapasi, and both Mr. and Mrs. Das experience the need for love, and also strive for it. This act of creating perfection is a series of steps that enrich life.

One of the big issues in the book would be the parental obliviousness. Hannah’s parents seemed so oblivious to her situation. Granted her parents were busy running a store which allowed them to have a roof over their head and food on the table but it took away from them knowing that Hannah was bullied by her classmates, or that there were rumors spreading about her. Her parents were also unaware of how depressed Hannah was, or that she was even contemplating suicide. Hannah’s parents weren’t the only parents who were oblivious. Most of the parents in the story were either willfully uninvolved in their children’s lives, or lied to by their children.

A famous quote from Thirteen Reasons Why is “'You don’t know what goes on in anyone’s life but your own… everything affects everything.'” What this implies is every thing that is said or done to a person impacts them in one way or another, no matter how insignificant it seems in the beginning. Most of the things in Hannah’s story are just minor occurrences, losing a friend, or being stood up for a date, while some are huge, like not doing anything to stop her friend from being raped or not being able to get help fast enough to stop a fatal accident. Many of the people on her list never realized the effect they had on Hannah’s life because to them, it didn’t matter. For Hannah though, after the tragedies she’s endured, all of these little incidents

Hannah has brown- black hair that looks like a turtle when she curls it. She has hands that are suntanned from the sun. Like snakes crawling from a rock. Hannah had a scar she got from second grade when she ran. When she moved blood tripled from her nose and lip and even more tripled down. She loves to read and picks exciting stories .Hannah loves her turtles Guiana (daisy) that makes her day. It’s good to be Hannah She demonstrates tranquility, creativity, and mischievous. One way Hannah demonstrates tranquility. Is that she lost her favorite stuff animal? In L.A in the dumpy hotel when she found out she looked everywhere she stayed calm she was okay losing her favorite stuff animal. Hannah was very

Yes, I enjoyed this book. I enjoyed the complete sequence that just led one after another, it was practically amazingly setup. In Hannah’s tapes the first reason or event that took place led to another person, that created the second reason or event. So basically because of the first reason, it led to the second and on so. Like in Hannah's words, a snowball rolling down the mountain getting bigger and bigger, or a series of unfortunate events. I'm also adored by this book because of all of the intoxicated wondering it created in my head. I say “Intoxicated” because this book would never let me stop wondering. For one it had me wondering about Clay's, deep feelings inside, The entire time listening, Clay would cry, scream or punch something.

There are many interpretations on the purpose of life. While interpretations of this topic are very subjective, there are those who may argue that life is about trying to find one’s own happiness in the world. There are many ways that make people happy in this world; one of the more prominent ways of achieving happiness is through deep and meaningful human companionship. Still, begs the question: does the need and feelings for love and intimacy change throughout one’s lifetime? Will they grow? Will they waiver? Will they remain the same? These are the questions Steven Loring explores in his 2014 documentary film: The Age of Love.

Just as we may obtain the ability to control the time of night and day, we risk damaging a balance of laws without fully knowing the consequences of our intentions. In the same way, we practice elements of love, such as marriage or intercourse, yet we are left dismayed and puzzled, angered and suffering, questioning as to if our reason behind our insensible actions was truly love after all.

Beginning with the theory of Rempel and Burris I will discuss what these researchers consider as definition love. First they describe love as being a “multifaceted construct with multiple meanings, diverse targets and varied expressions” (Rempel and Burris, 2005). It is formed through multiple attachment styles such as the secure attachments defined by Bowlby and Ainsworth and the romantic attachment style by Shaver and Hazan. Rempel and Burris go on to describe what love is believed to be as it pertains to the object: (2005)

The author makes connections on writing her ideas on love which is based on uncontrollable, vast army moods, intangible, and can make our life easier.

The character’s views on love in the two movies vary throughout the characters but also show similarities through others. Samantha Borgens and Holly Golightly have the most similar view and story. They both do not put love at the top of their priority list and, also, have a twisted view on it, however, Samantha is far more cynical. She saw her mother leave her father and watches him stay hopeful that she will return. Samantha states, “If love is setting a place at the table for someone who is never coming home. I think I’ll pass.” She avoids falling in love and uses boys for her own personal usage. Holly Golightly also has the same habit of avoiding love and using men to gain what she wants and in her case, it is money. Holly states,
