The Love Boat Show Analysis

Love is a game. The object of the game is for men to win the hearts of women. But winning the hearts of women is rare for men to do. The man in the poem “Love In Brooklyn”, is a novice player in the game of love. Because he is unfamiliar with the rules, he does not know how to win the hearts of women. Because of his lack of knowledge in women, he is extremely introverted when he interacts with women. He said, ““I love you, Horowitz”... and he blew his nose””(Line 1). The way he said “I love you” made the meaning of the statement lose its value. He also tried to prove to her that he loved her by comparing his love for her to a tank sliding through the trees (lines 12-14). He compares his love for her to destruction illustrating that he is clueless

We live in a society that has increasingly stomped on love, depicting it as cruel, superficial and full of complications. Nowadays it is easy for people to claim that they are in love, even when their actions say otherwise, and it is just as easy to claim that they are not when they really are.

This is the main theme present in Russell Banks’ short story “Sarah Cole: A Type of Love Story,” as well as in “The Fireman’s Wife,” written by Richard Bausch. These narratives, although similar in some aspects, are completely different types of love stories.

This show represents a type of “love” that is called pseudo love, which is defined according to Mickel and Hall (2008). Pseudo love is loving without depth. It is surface love. Mickel and Hall state the idea, “I love you only so long as you make me feel good. The moment you make me feel bad or unhappy, I question my love for you” (2008, pg. 31).

This is because if there are any problems that arise between the bachelor and one of the women, the bachelor simply eliminates the woman from the show and continues onto the next girl. The Bachelor is promoting pseudo love within society. Pseudo love presents the false expectancy that love is the answer to all problems. The
