“All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love” Leo Tolstoy War and Peace. As shown in Great Expectations, Romeo and Juliet, and Animal Farm love is a prevailing theme over hate, however the way that love prevails comes in different forms. Though love prevails over hate in English Literature, Love is shown to take over many forms such as love being a mask for hate, pure and unconditional love, and love of power. The first, love being a mask for hate, is show in Great Expectations Pip is “in love” with Estella though she treats him with animosity. Pip should in fact hate Estella for her vile behavior therefore his love is masking what dislike he should show towards her. Pip is in love with Estella’s beauty, he is using
It's easier to hate than love somebody. No man is perfect, nor is any woman. It is easier to see what is wrong with them fundamentally than what is fundamentally right with them. In Romeo and Juliet three physical conflicts occur between characters. Mercutio fights Tybalt for Romeo's honor, Tybalt fights Romeo for hatred of his kin and Paris fights Romeo out of hate and grief. In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare ,through Romeo’s actions, Shakespeare develops the theme that love is more powerful than hate.
In conclusion, West Mexico has a few common thread running through their works of art, one of them happens to be the use the tri-color pallet, which we found covering the Standing Male Figure and in a color scale from lightest too darkest on the Seating Female Figure. As well as the meaning of nudity, in the male sculpture it represents authority and in the female sculpture it signifies fertility. Lastly, art for art sake, what if we are reading too much into these pieces what if they just served no actual purpose but just to look good and adorn a home. Mesoamerica a mixing of styles from earlier civilizations that have come before, there is always going to be an inklings of prior civilization that have integrated into newer civilizations and
I think just as much as she wanted Pip to fall in love with Estella, she wanted Estella to fall in love with Pip. Dickens talks about Estella's mood swings when it came to her treatment of Pip (chapter 12) and how Miss Havisham seemed to enjoy them; it leads me to believe that Estella was having strong feelings for Pip but being trained that they were to be fought, crushed, and ignored, which must have lead to some pain, inner conflict and confusion for the young girl. Miss Havisham, I think, wanted Estella to learn this feeling of passion young, and wanted her to learn how to reject them young. It would also explain why she always loved Pip, even though she denied it. It was the only love she really ever experienced, but was never allowed to
Everyone has felt hate sometime in their lives varying in severity, from a mild dislike to the intense and deep hatred we see in Romeo and Juliet. In this play, we see two lovers from opposing families fall madly in love. Consequently, this relationship causes the families to commit insane acts in the blind rage of anger. By using the fierce family feud between the Capulets and Montagues, William Shakespeare makes the controversial point that anger is blinding and causes people to act out of character, departing from the traditional idea that anger is just an emotion.

Love is virtually a universal emotion. Almost everyone experiences being in love or being loved, and the same thing could be said about hatred. In The Scarlet Letter, Nathaniel Hawthorne discusses the similarities between love and hate. He observes that people who are in love and those who hate both feel empty with the absence of their subject of attention. At the end of his book he reflects, “It is a curious subject of observation and inquiry, whether hatred and love be not the same thing at bottom” (236). Hawthorne is referring to the similarities developing between loving and hateful relationships in his story. He thinks that since both require a lot of emotional investment and cause you to focus on a single person, love and hate are at their cores the same.
The emotions of love and hate are at the forefront of the theme in this play by William Shakespeare. The Oxford Standard English Dictionary defines ‘love’ as ‘to have strong feelings of affection for another adult and be romantically and sexually attracted to them, or to feel great affection for a friend or person in your family’ and defines ‘hate’ as ‘a feeling of dislike so strong that it demands action dislike intensely, to feel antipathy or aversion towards someone or something’. However, words cannot portray such wide and powerful emotions. Love and hate include elements of life, passion, long-term bonding and dislike, disgust and loathing respectively. It is because
Quoted by Paul Coelho; “Those have most power to hurt us, that we love.” This quote signifies many things beside love, it represents honor and resentment. When a person that we love lashes out at us, or hurts us we either resent them or honor them. The book Romeo and Juliet is an excellent demonstration of love because it consists of my types. In the acts one through three, I found six types of love that were demonstrated.
Hate is another form of love, because love perseveres over hate. Shakespeare has an attraction between Romeo and Juliet who are of families involved in a feud, the Montagues and the Capulets. While both hate each other Shakespeare shows through Romeo that even though Romeo asks: “Is she a Capulet?” (Shakespeare, 1.5.131) he is fine with her being a Capulet even he says: “The more is my unrest.” (Shakespeare, 1.5.134) We know that Romeo is okay with knowing that Juliet is a Capulet since he does not outright say “never mind her” or “she shall be forgotten.” Juliet is also used by Shakespeare in the same manner
The Opposing Themes of Love and Hate in the Play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare
Marquez uses the symbolism of Santiago's dreams to foreshadow his forthcoming death. Santiago's mother, Placida Linero, reports to the narrator that's before his death Santiago had a sequence of dreams. She says, "he'd dreamed that he was alone in a tinfoil airplane and flying through the almond trees without bumping into anything" (Marquez 3). This dream can be symbolized as Santiago's life at the beginning of the novella. The almond trees represent the townspeople in that almond trees are similar to the skin color of Columbian people. "Without bumping into anything" signifies that Santiago avoids causing and becoming involved with problems with the people in his town. His mother also tells the narrator "he'd dreamed he was going through
In William Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” hate is shown to be stronger than love because...
Walt Whitman in his poem “Song of Myself” declares since the very beginning that he will celebrate himself through his poem, but in reality he celebrates all of humanity in a song about the self, the world, and nature. Since the beginning, he explains how “every atom belonging to [him] as good belongs to [everyone]” (l.3), proving what he feels, what he sees as his Self is similar to the rest of humanity. Yet, Whitman makes a distinction between himself, his “I”, and his “Soul” (l.4), indicating they will be treated as two entities experiencing things together. Whitman’s “I” is deeply connected to nature. He seems to believe nature and experiencing nature are all the teachers one needs.

“Love always overcomes hate, but love’s effects and hate’s effects are no different in magnitude.” -Anonymous. No one ever doubts the power of love or the power of hate. For as long as time has existed people have loved and people have hated. Strong emotions persuade everyone to act on their inhibition. Everyone wants to be a hero in every situation whether it be trying to save someone or the simple act of finding a winning lottery ticket. These actions are what lead to love overcoming hate even if they are the simplest of acts. The mistake people make is them trying to hard to be the hero. This leads to one traveling great lengths to achieve their goals, but at what cost. Throughout Shakespeare’s most famous play, Romeo and Juliet, his main
