The Knight In The Panther's Skin

Service in love often has a positive connotation which suggests a profound love, whereas possession generally receives a negative connotation suggesting a superficial love. However, Geoffrey Chaucer and William Shakespeare explore in depth the roles of both possession and service in love and reveal to their readers which one is ultimately the superior way to gain love. The stories of “The Knight’s Tale” and The Tempest are different thematically, yet the thread which unites them both expresses similar ideas regarding love, possession and service. Both William Shakespeare and Geoffrey Chaucer show the reader love cannot be claimed; it is earned through service of the heart. By examining the similarities in “The Knight’s Tale” and The Tempest

During both Tales we also incorporate two statements from the Art of Courtly Love. The Art of Courtly Love, it states “Love is always increasing or decreasing” and “Real jealousy increases the act of love.” This is also used in our modern age of relationships. Through marriages and anniversaries, there is loving increasing. While when two lovers begin to separate it is when love begins to decrease. In a negative view, we can see when a lover previously in a relationship became jealous, they can become jealous-hearted. These statements on love we experience regularly today, is also present in both

Love is a popular theme in a multitude of literature pieces throughout the times. Forbidden love seems nearly as popular as does love gone wrong and unconditional love. Two tales that contain the theme of forbidden love, the theme of love gone wrong, and the theme of unconditional love are: William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Fay Weldon’s “IND AFF or Out of Love in Sarajevo.” Though these stories were both written many years apart, they have a commonality with their themes. These themes can be drawn by the individual story’s main characters and main events. Even though the theme of love gone wrong displays itself a bit differently in each piece, its identification is still very clear in

history, literature, religion, politics, science, sports, or another branch of culture in a piece of text.

To effectively support this argument, it is vital to analyze different aspects of love as discussed by Beauvoir in her account of The Woman in Love. The first basis of this narrative portrays man as a superior being to whom an inferior has to submit. He is a god in his woman’s eyes modeled just a little lower than the angels . While the man occupies his rightful status as a god, the woman is deemed as the worshipper. Both eventually become the other’s prisoner. In this vulnerability, women are ready to submit completely to their husbands whose image they hold in high regard.

For this final literature project I have decided to write a course reflection. I have choose three readings from this semester to write about and why I like them. The first reading I am going to write about is Washington Irving, Rip Van Winkle. The second reading is Edgar Allan Poe, The Masque of the Red Death. The last story is Harriet Jacobs, from Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl. All of these stuck out at me and will remain with me for a long time.

Topic: Choose one element that you notice in three of these four major texts (Agamemnon, Hamlet, “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock,” and John F. Kennedy’s Secret Society Speech). For example, you could choose to explore how the three texts deal with an element of Tragedy, a common theme, the use of character, or language, etc. Explain the similarities and differences as you compare the development in each work of your chosen element.

Our cohort is nearing the end of its secondary education and therefore it is important that we reflect on the ways in which it has shaped our attitudes values and beliefs. For example, over the past five years we have read, analysed and evaluated various literary works (novels, plays, films etc) in our English studies. These texts express various ideologies, some of which have left a lasting impression on our attitudes, values and beliefs. In addition to this, English literary texts have provided us with historical knowledge aswell as a thorough understanding of the role that aesthetic devices play in engaging readers and expressing ideas. Three texts that have influenced me as an

For all, you comic book or marvel fans as may know the next ultimate battle between the earth’s mightiest heroes will come to screens on May 6, 2016, in Captain America Civil War. This movie will feature many of your favorite superheroes like Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hawkeye, Black Widow, The Hulk, and Spiderman. But there will be new heroes appearing in this movie.

In "The Wife of Bath's Tale", a knight is forced to marry a wretched old woman. The knight and the old woman do not get along well, and when the old woman suggests that she make things better, the knight responds saying that the woman is old and that nothing good could come out of this situation. A love relationship such as this could never last because there is no attraction-physical or mental. A major factor in love is physical attraction between the two partners. Here there is no attraction. Two people cannot love each other if they cannot stand to be in one another's presence. The knight can hardly bare to look at his wife, let alone sleep with her.

“Loyalty and devotion lead to bravery. Bravery leads to the spirit of self-sacrifice. The spirit of self-sacrifice creates trust in the power of love.” This powerful quote by Morihei Ueshiba fits beautifully to the poem Love by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. The character in the poem is devoted to his lover; he would do anything for her, even losing his live. The author demonstrates the characters devotion to his lover in a view of past traditions, as medieval times, with the analysis of the knight fighting for chivalry, and honor. Also, the poem seems to be a tale within a tale, that demonstrates the confound concept of love’s ever changing emotions that line from either extreme happiness and sorrow.

Love can do crazy things to many individuals; making them crazy or mad, dying from a possible broken heart, or even killing themselves or someone else. During the Middle Ages, love was termed as chivalry or noble love, and then romantic love in the Nineteenth Century of Romanticism. I will discover and show how it changed during the periods of literature with the materials we have studied in this class.

Courtly love is a ritual designed to be performed over a series of years, yet in “The Knight’s Tale”,

Of the works I have read in this course, I feel Metamorphoses and The Story of The Stone fit in to Kevin Brooks definitions of world literature. From reading Metamorphoses, I learned a lot about Greek gods and culture. There are also several life lessons on jealousy, greed, and love in Meramorphoes. The Story of The Stone goes in to great detail about the culture and life style of China during the Qing Dynasty.

Throughout history, love has been portrayed in numerous perspectives ranging from physical to emotional love. Literary works from various backgrounds provide distinctive interpretations of love. Marie de France along with medieval lyric poets touch upon topics revolving around love and spiritual affection. The pieces provide different treatments on courtly and secular love, illustrating the comparison between the physical and emotional aspect as well. Courtly love draws from the characteristics of passionate affections between nobles with someone other than their spouse (Doan, courtly source). The treatment of love reveals the different cultural backgrounds and personal perception of love through their uses of figurative language and
