The True Love Conquers All

In Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes, it is suggested among several other themes in the novel that "Perfect Love casts out all fear." This quote taken from the Gospel of John illustrates the point that where there is unconditional love, and one loves and is loved in return, there is no fear. This can be believed, because when a person loves life and is content with what he or she has, there is no room for regret. Likewise, when one loves a person and is loved in return, there is trust in trust there is no doubt, and therefore there is no fear. In the novel, Mr Halloway conquers his fear through the love of his son and is eventually saved, whereas Miss Foley us ruined by her preoccupation with fear and failure to

While being attracted to another person physically is important so is mental compatibility and the ability to communicate. Attraction theory explains the primary forces that draw people together into a relationship. It explains that people are attracted to others who are more similar than dissimilar. In the movie, Scott and Ramona are complete strangers. They are initially attracted to one another based solely on looks. Ramona rollerblades through Scotts heart before they even have a chance to say hello. She causes all memory of his current girlfriend to evacuate his mind. They are proximal to each other when they meet at a party as well as when she delivers a package to his door. Within this second encounter they go on their first date and spend the night together before they have time to see if they have more in common than just physical attraction. Along with mutual attraction, these two characters share much more that leads to the attraction theory. Similar attitude, outlook, awkwardness, and personality all lead to these two getting

Through first person perspective, further analysis regarding the possible danger the power of love can posses is shown. Tavia was talking to her therapist Elizabeth, about the unusually quick feelings of attachment she has for a boy that she has only talked to once; Quinn, as Tavia states, “It's almost like I’m two people - one who can’t stop thinking about Benson...one who can’t stop thinking about Quinn.” (Pike.68) This quote demonstrates that the power of love takes full control of one’s thoughts. When someone like Tavia is in love, all thoughts are about the one you trust and love the most as the author illustrated this by using first person perspective to demonstrate Tavia’s inner voice at all times. When someone is able to control one’s

One boundless power in our universe is the power of love, which rips down barriers and creates a world where everything is in harmony. Love’s immense strength can be portrayed throughout literature. In Shakespeare's play, Romeo and Juliet, and John Green’s book, Fault in Our Stars, the theme that love overpowers everything is conveyed throughout the pages. In Shakespeare’s play, two-star crossed lovers fall in love despite the quarrel of their families. In John Green’s book, two cancer-stricken teenagers fall in love despite their limitations. The theme of love overpowering everything is evident in both stories through the external conflicts that failed to prevent their love, the lovers going great lengths to see each other, and deaths of the other lover.

Romantic love is a force that exceeds our rational judgment. Out of nowhere, it descends upon us and destroys our previous notions of ourselves, making us act in uncharacteristic ways. We do not choose whom and when to love; and falling in love reminds us of how little control we have over our lives. In spite of this, romantic love is often viewed today as a sure path to ever-lasting happiness. Shakespeare, however, was far more realistic in his portrayal of romance. In his plays, love often functions as more of a treacherous force overcoming the characters’ rational selves than a source of ultimate fulfillment.

“Pretty in Pink” by John Hughes is basically a love story about middle class girl who has a crush on a rich boy in her high school, they eventually start dating but due to society their relationship struggles. It’s a story about love versus social acceptance. The movie has two different versions of its endings due to unacceptance of the test audience in the 1980’s. A lot of people didn’t like the ending, which forced the director to change it.

“Love is complex: considered simply in itself, it is neither honorable nor a disgrace-its character depends entirely on the behavior it gives rise to,” (Plato 183d). There are two different types of love that Pausanius refers to, which are the common and heavenly love. The common love is based on your love for someone for their body, sex or beauty making it physical love and desire for a person. Heavenly love is love for the mind such as your intelligence and strength, someone you can benefit from making one more wise. Any love that is encountered has a purpose whether is it the love between a mother and daughter or the love between a husband and wife. In the end, all love leads and is directed to virtue and improves the loved ones.

This poem is broken in to three distinct parts even though it does not contain multiple stanzas. The first section is from line one to line six. Within this section the initial idea of the poem is presented. This idea that ‘’love is not all ‘’ completely contrasts standard belief. Edna St. Vincent Millay compares love to all the basic life needs including food, water, and shelter. Millay is being practical and logical which are not words usually associated with love. In lines five and six Millay talks about how ‘’love can not fill the thickened lung with breath, nor clean the blood, nor set the fractured bone.’’ Not only does this provide evidence for her initial claim, it also further dwindles the universal idea that love is endlessly powerful.

     “I love you.” These three little words might possibly be the most powerful statement one can make to another person. In life, most yearn for the intimate affection that a certain someone can provide them. Women dream of their Prince Charming to come and sweep them off their feet, while men search for the love of their life that sets their heart on fire. But what happens when love is thrown around without a second thought? Has this four letter word become an overused cliché? Has love been replaced with lust? Is there such a thing as true love? This last question has been asked throughout history, while many have argued and debated over the final answer. We, as a society, have become a loveless, sex crazed group

Bataille’s work seems to come into a better relation of what unconditional love is and if it is accomplishable.

Once upon a time in a little town called Rabun County there were two girls, Lia and Tiffany. The two were completely different. Tiffany was shy, nerdy and awkward. Lia was bold, popular, and very social. Little did the two girls know that one terrible relationship could bring two people so close together, especially the ones they never expected.

1 Corinthians 13:13 states: “and now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love, ” ("30 Bible Verses About Love - Encouraging Scripture Quotes"). Love is an essential feeling everyone needs to have in their life, and we are called to love one another. Without it, everyone wouldn’t have fulfillment in life. In the novel, Les Miserables, by Victor Hugo shows how ultimately powerful love is. He portrays love in many ways throughout the novel. The novels main purpose is to show how love triumphs through all circumstances.

"In a perfect world, when he's with her, he would be wishing he was with me; when he looked at her, he would be looking at me; when he smiled at her, his smile would be for me; when he thought about someone, he would be thinking about me. In a perfect world, he would realize that I'm the one he was supposed to be with & I would still be standing here waiting for him still when he finally knows this. But this isn't a perfect world and people do get hurt. Because how can you give your dreams to someone else, yet share your dreams with me? Sometimes the truest love is the love that can never be"

present and one of those is the theme of love. Philia, Eros, and Agape are the three types of love present in the play and are what represent the theme of love. These three types of love, Philia, Eros, and Agape are expressed by the different characters in the play. The expression of the theme of love in the play is not just there by accident; William Shakespeare put it in this comedic and romantic play with a purpose.
