Love : The Nature Of Love

Love has gone from something beautiful and desirable to becoming a weapon utilized against people instead of for. Love is something God has designed to be freely given, with nothing in return and yet today, love comes at a price. You might “love” someone, but to do so involves a risk and sometimes the cost is more than you can bear, therefore the word “love” continues to be manipulated and distorted and abused.

The human idea of love is quite possibly the most misunderstood in today’s society. Love can be between a man and woman, mother/father and their kids, or even really good friends. However, these relationships of love go through many interactions and stages to start and progress. Many psychological events must occur and be worked through in order to be successful. All relationships must endure the five perspectives of human behavior. These perspectives are biological, learning, social and cultural, cognitive, and psychodynamic influences.

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.

Love lies underneath the surface waiting for the one much like a volcano waiting to erupt. Love is the unselfish loyal concern for the good of another. Love can oftentimes create a strong bond between two people. This concept is often a popular theme within literature. As Janie develops throughout Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God, she constantly learns and grows from her experiences.

Love is a special emotion that most individuals strives for. Part of a human’s nature is to love and long for another individual. This feeling has existed since the beginning and will continue to exist until the end. The term “love,” however, is very broad. To understand more easily what the term means, the Ancient Greeks came up with three terms to symbolize the three main types of love. The three classical types of love are very important to understand, as they will continue to exist until the world ends. The selected poems read reflect three classical types of love.

Love is like a soccer ball kicked by a bad teammate. It hits hard and most of the time leaves you in pain. But in the end it can be good, like for example you might not have to go to school the next day because you have a broken nose. The love in most romances are often cliched, and unreal. But two stories that come really close to explaining the real meaning of love is ¨Annabel Lee” by Edgar Allan Poe and ¨The Highwayman”by Alfred Noyes.

Love is a strange concept, created in the human mind. In the novel 1984 by George Orwell The ideas of love and hate are thrown around quite carelessly by the society and its people. There are no real friendships or relationships in this society because of that reason. “Love” is just an excuse for lust because no one in the society actually knows what love is.

I believe that love is a natural sentiment that is experienced differently by each individual. For instance, the love for our parents will vary from the love for our life-partners. Just because one form of love may (at times) overshadow the other, does not mean that the end result will be the nonexistence of either one. In the play, Antigone by Sophocles, the character Haimon impersonates a major role at delivering this very message throughout the play and also promotes the classic love story plot of Romeo and Juliet, in the sense that both the families allow hatred to control their lives and lovers kill themselves.

Love is said to be the greatest human experience in which mankind are privilege to partake in. To love can be a wondrous experience filling life with bliss and other strong emotions. Some people believe to love is to be alive and be able to see the good in the world and others. The purpose of this paper is to examine and find a better understanding of what is love, to explore what people believe love to be, and what lies surround the perception of love and to explore and expose what the meaning true love is or at the very least the authors understanding of the perception of love. In addition to exploring the concept, deception and the truth of love,

In modern society, love is a buzzing topic. Whether it be true-love or the mushy Valentine’s Day cards, love is all around. Love is something the human mind thrives on, for it creates a sense of calm and peace, thus making it human nature to yearn for love. In literature, there are many “love stories”. William Shakespeare, often called a true expert on love (based on his many plays, sonnets, etc.), has written many of these “love stories”. One of the most well-known stories is Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet, often remarked as one of Shakespeare’s greatest works, is a perfect example of false love. Throughout the course of the play, it is revealed in many ways this is a story of artificial devotion in which Juliet is in love, and Romeo is

The use of deception by the characters illustrate just how much of a burden love could be due to the fact that it’s the source of their pain and suffering throughout

Love is a mysterious feeling that varies for each relationship. Some relationships have a very deep love, where the only thing that matters is personality. In these relationships, the people have a strong emotional bond because it doesn’t matter what visual flaws the person has; the connection keeps them close. A surface deep relationship lacks this connection, and will not last. Once someone in a surface deep relationship finds a simple flaw, they will not be able to overcome that flaw and the relationship will deteriorate. Nathaniel Hawthorne had a beautiful wife named Sophia, and he loved her dearly. In Hawthorne’s first journal entry, he wrote that Sophia was the only sunshine in the world. (Page 1) However, in Hawthorne’s writings, “The Birthmark” and “Feathertop” the type of love he portrays is only surface deep.

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.

   Love is one of the most confusing emotions that one can experience. It is simple yet complicated, unconditional but demanding, overused and unique. It is hard to explain what its means to feel love, to feel loved, or to be in love, however, there are aspects of love that are easily expressed. For example, ones unquestionable affection to the one they love, or the hardships and sacrifice that is endured for loved ones, and the underlying fact that once it is experienced it is not easily dismissed. The play Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller describes love in just these ways, and, most of all, as the ultimate moral value that is the eternal bond that keeps people together. One can

Love has many different meanings to different people. For a child, love is what he or she feels for his mommy and daddy. To teenage boy, love is what he should feel for his girlfriend of the moment, only because she says she loves him. But as we get older and "wiser," love becomes more and more confusing. Along with poets and philosophers, people have been trying to answer that age-old question for centuries: What is love?
