Relationships Essay

What is a relationship? Is it a sharing of understanding and trials with another human being, a connection between a man and a woman emotionally and sexually, or could it be, just simply, a compassion or love intertwined between two souls? These aspects of relationship and more are illustrated in Shakespeare’s famous tragedy Macbeth. The way Macbeth and Lady Macbeth’s relationship changes drastically throughout the play is an example of how fragile a relationship really is. With one word or action a relationship can erode itself away. This play is a perfect example of a promising relationship that messes with a power greater than themselves and in the end falls into a hopeless swamp with no way out, nowhere to turn.

A relationship is usually seen between the teller of a tale and the tale that he or she decides to share. Chaucer’s pilgrim, the Merchant, uses his feelings on marriage to teach a lesson in his tale. The Wife of Bathe also relies on her life experience to tell her tale. The two relationships in the tales can then be compared.

In our world today people's relationships are important, not only to themselves but to  everybody  they know and love. In Eric Walter’s book “War of the Eagles” it is easy for the reader to understand how important relationships are to a person’s life.

In everyone’s life there are many different types of relationships, and certain relationships tend to be ranked as better than others. A friend is closer than an acquaintance, but an acquaintance closer is closer than a stranger. A struggle arises when comparing friends to romantic partners.

In My Antonia by Willa Cather, the friendships formed are more fulfilling and supportive than the romantic relationships.

Do our relationships with others define how caring and loyal we are as a person? In the stories What of This Goldfish Would You Wish?” by Etgar Keret, “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson, and “Without Title” by Diane Glancy; the characters and their relationships with people define how the relationships can be an influence on us. Our relationships with people define if we’re caring and/or loyal we ACTUALLY are.

In both “Harmonium” and “In Paris with you”, a difficult relationship is portrayed though Armitage and Fenton write of two different kinds of relationships, the reader has no problem detecting the difficult relationship.

Many authors choose to present love and it’s complications in similar ways, illustrating the fact that relationships often go through struggles due to the same problem; lack of communication. Whether it is platonic, familial and unrequited love, writers were able to demonstrate this through literature in the form of prose, poems and drama. The message the authors have successfully presented is that communication is key in every relationship, and if studied in depth, relationships which fail are often the ones which lack communication and the source of each problem in a storyline, is always due to misunderstandings. ‘Atonement’, ‘Othello’ and ‘Cat on a Hot Tin Roof’ are three of the main texts which present struggling relationships due to lack

Relationships begin and grow through those things that cannot be felt or seen, these intangibles have many names; comfort, support, kindness, trust, love and the list continues. My mother did her best to verbalize these concepts to me from the day I was, however, I was only really able to understand them through her demonstration of these feelings in the way she treated me and day after day and the way I felt all of these emotions for her. The only thing I have ever been able to understand through Sean Rowles is that there is yet another intangible, one that should never be a part of any relationship, one that leaves scares that cannot be seen on the psyche of a person years after the physical end of the relationship, one that is the sole presence remaining when the love, the trust and the kindness are gone, and that intangible is fear, and unfortunately it is the one that most comes to mind when

In the second chapter of the book, another major aspect of the relationship has been revealed. The relationship is tied along a creed in that human actions define

This scene in the movie, Keating takes his entire class into a hallway to view past photos of sports teams and past classes. Keating asks Pitts to read a poem called “Carpe Diem” which in Latin translates into “Seize the Day.” and the title of the poem pretty much sums up the main theme of this speech. Once the poem was over, Keating tells the students his own point of view of life being short and trying to live as if it would be the last day you would be alive. As much as they would like to feel as if they would live forever, eventually death would come and they won’t be remembered at all. Keating then points out the teams
