My Love, A Nigerian Movie

Love is a powerful emotion that every human being has experience at least once in their life. There are numerous connotations that refer to this emotion, but there is only one kind of love that can make a person change completely in unexpected ways. It is the kind of love that consumes the soul and everything within. Mixed with excitement, adventure, heartbreak, happiness and joy; it is a big ball of feelings, all concentrated in one simple, yet extremely complicated necessity to have, protect, please and give all of oneself to that one person. In certain occasions, love can grow very intense and, consequently,

Love is a powerful force that bonds people together through anything and everything. Love will make people do anything for the ones they love and sometimes can’t see the bigger picture. In Shakespeare’s tragedy, Romeo and Juliet, two young lovers in “fair Verona” from rival families come together in love. They instantly fall in love as soon as they lay eyes on each other and have to marry each other after only knowing each other for twelve hours. Romeo and Juliet have no idea what is to come due to their actions. Young love often results in a selfish isolation from the rest of the world which causes impulsive decisions that bring unintended consequences.

The play A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare and the film The Princess Bride directed and co-produced by Rob Reiner share unlikely literary parallels. As Catherine Belsy states in an essay “A Midsummer Night’s dream…proposes that love is a dream, or perhaps a vision; that is absurd, irrational a delusion, or, perhaps, on the other hand, a transfiguration; that it is doomed to be momentary, and that it constitutes at the same time the proper foundation for a lifelong marriage” (A Modern Prospective 182). The Princess Bride the movie is an encapsulation of the main themes of true love and the fantastical elements that surround it. The Princess Bride the story the young boy’s grandfather tells him is simply a storybook, like a fairytale

Love is a confusing thing. Many people confuse its connotation and generally never truly understand what it means. From reading “A&P” and “Araby” and understanding how the characters develop throughout the stories, there is a significant difference of what we portray love to be compared to what it actually is. Throughout both stories, both protagonists thought they understood love, but little did they know that they were in for a rude awakening. Both “A&P” and “Araby” go about depicting love in an almost similar way. However, although both stories entail jubilant love amongst the youth, they both incorporate an epiphany of reality in which both protagonists did not foresee.

Love is defined as the intense feeling of deep affection. In the play, Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare, the attraction between the two protagonists, Romeo and Juliet, does not factually classify as true love. Meanwhile, lust is a concept in which is commonly mistaken for love, which is very apparent throughout this classic “love story” of Romeo and Juliet.

Love is everywhere. It burns in the hearts of adolescents, softens the souls of sadistic men, and murmurs between old, happy couples. However, when asked, every individual has their own idea of what love is.
