In this poem, she expresses her love, through heart smoldering words, which could be felt through her speech act of exhortation. She appeared optimistic, about the continuity of her friendship and love with her lover. Her disposition in this literary act, unveiled her temperament. She favors romance and sexual intrigue. Her style of thought here, is intuitive and realistic because she talks about a tangible subject matter. She touches and holds the love she feels for her man friend with her words. This poem also appeals to the reader’s intellect and emotions because of her soft and emotional tone. Her words are not ambiguous or obfuscating. They have clear meaning, and are written in plain tense, which makes it easy to read and understand. Her poem is also built on comparison; she compares being lovers and friends, to memories shared, love made, tears shared and the significance of her romance with her lover. The poem lacked some rhyme scheme and imagery, however, it is divided into quadrant stanzas and follows a repetition of syntactical structures. Both capitalization and punctuations are present. This is a great poem that expresses the symbolic meaning of love and friendship. She teaches that, love is not based on sexual intercourse or transient things, but upon the love that we have,

I will consider the way in which the two poets deal with the idea of love as timeless.I will also explore themes of authenticity and identity in their poems about love. In addition I will consider the extent to which their gender may have affected their view of love.

– The author tried to present two separate love stories of different generation, Ira and Ruth: Sophia and Luke.

In the polemic “Against Love”, Laura Kipnis considers love to be a mysterious force, which attaches to people as if it controls their thoughts and decisions. It is a capricious tyrant, who bring forth the tragedy for those failing to achieve such essential feeling. Still, artists create romantic poems about its cruelty while audiences enjoying watching the pain it gives to them. Ironically, through such pain, people yearn for a glimmer of brief happiness.

His subject, the one that embodies and is subjected to his theme of love, is loved by many and perhaps even all as she could be the personification of love itself. Her destructive and chaotic presence leaves traces on everyone’s lives yet they see through the bad qualities to find the true essence of what it means to love and be loved, cherishing the good despite the bad. Though her touch is careless and her actions are clumsy and hardly thought out, she means well and only wants those around her to be happy; this shows a balance in life and love that keeps people in an overall stable existence with each other. This is further supported with

The participants do not engage in amateurish relations, but instead engage in the activity of sex with expertise. The poem’s descriptions label them as being individuals worthy of admiration.

By the same token, the romance fiction genre pivots on the presentation of “women’s triumphs over systemic inequality” (Jagodzinski 9)¬–that is, Caucasian women’s triumphs, as the romance fiction genre “seldom extends that kind of concern to other marginalized groups” (Jagodzinski 9). The romance fiction genre’s endeavor to “debunk ideological justifications for women's subordination offers little insight into the domination” (Crenshaw 155) of women of color, and the messages that correlate with the genre’s narratives are “overgeneralized at best” (Crenshaw 155) as a consequence of the narratives embedment in solitarily Caucasian experience. Disagreeing with this model of romance fiction, Jagodzinski proposes that romance fiction authors who “look beyond just patriarchal oppression to consider other types of systemic oppression, like racial oppression” (Jagodzinski 9) create a new subcategory of romance fiction: intersectional romance fiction, as various forms of identity-directed oppression “are considered in conjunction with one another” (Jagodzinski 9-10). The conflicts within intersectional romance fiction often “demonstrate how the maintenance of power is invested in the oppression” (Jagodzinski 150) of those who fail to meet the dominant standards of what the average member of society should appear as. When an author deliberately distinguishes “each character’s various avenues to power based on [their] identity” (Jagodzinski 40), the audience is naturally made

Paz writes an ominously erotic tale of his companionship with a wave. He converts a metaphorical image into one so literal that a reader would not be able to distinguish between the wave and a woman. The central idea of the story revolves around love, but Paz displays in vivid imagery how love, no matter how consuming and ardent, can turn sour.

The song of songs it is a well-known but not so well understood book of the Bible, it’s 8 chapters of love poetry and while there are an introduction and a conclusion, the book doesn’t have any kind of rigid literary design and that’s because it is a collection of poems. They are not meant to be dissected or taken apart. They are meant to be read as a flowing whole and simply enjoyed. The first line of the book tells us that it is “the song of songs” which is a Hebrew idiom like, “the holy of holies” or “the king of kings” it is a Hebrew way of saying, “the greatest thing,” this is the greatest song of all songs. We are told in the first line that this “song of songs” is of Solomon, which could mean that he is the author, his name does begin the book after all. But as I read the poems, I discover that the main voice of a woman, called “the beloved.” And while there is also a male voice, it does not seem to be Solomon. Solomon is mentioned a couple times in the poem, but he’s never a speaker, and you do have to admit Solomon is a very strange candidate as the author of this book, given the facts that he seven hundred wines. The “of Solomon” likely means “in the wisdom tradition of Solomon,” he was known for his wisdom, his poetry, his love of learning about every part of life. Also, Solomon became the father of wisdom literature in Israel, his legacy is here carried on, through a collection of love poems that explore the human experience of love and sexual desire. The opening

The romantic period in American literature back in the days was very unique. Romance was shown through poetry, novelties and music. There are so many ethnic romantic poetry that what written and created in the old times. Shakespeare was one of the many who had written poetry, novels and films of the old romance. Romeo and Juliet were huge with there love story, even in our 20th century now their story is huge.

Love is a feeling that comes to fruition between two people and the story behind the growth of love between two people is often associated with the culture of their society or societies. In their short story, “Family Stories,” authors Steven J. Zeitlin, Amy J. Kotkin, and Holly Cutting Baker discuss the impact and importance of oral stories passed down through generations. They state, “[Oral stories] are relevant to … history not only because they convey some factual information, but because they often capture the ethos of an era” (10). This “ethos of an era” refers to the culture surrounding a story because culture describes the actions of a collective society and as such strongly influences stories. Culture, especially, influences love stories

“How do they do it, the ones who make love without love?” (Line 1-2) This is the first question asked by Sharon Olds in her poem “Sex Without Love.” In today’s world, it is very common for two human beings to engage in sexual activity without sharing an emotional or intellectual connection with one another. Sharon Olds is a poet who is well known for creating very personal and emotional works of literature about family and relationship matters. The speaker of “Sex Without Love” could be Olds herself, but it could also be any person who shares the same beliefs and viewpoints on sex and intimacy. In “Sex Without Love”, Sharon Olds shows her superb use of poetic elements such as tone and language to portray a theme that insinuates

From fairy tales to multi-million dollar movie productions, romance and love have always been primary topics for literature and theatrical art. However, these stories have painted an unrealistic picture in society’s mind on how romantic relationships should be. This mirage is far from the truth and has created problems for people in modern romantic relationships. Love isn't sleeping with the attractive woman you met at the bar two hours ago like Mike’s friends in Jon Favreau’s film Swingers (1996). Nor is it running through the pouring rain and meeting your partner in the middle of the road and acting like it's the best part of your week. These fantasies have made communication of romantic affairs in the modern world lousy and lacking of
