Theme Of Love's Deity

Love can be a tricky thing. Love can be the begging to something new, something beautiful. While, Love can also be a dangerous and deserving thing. Love is a feeling many will feel whether for someone or something. Yet, loving someone can truly show not only who someone is as a person but, can show things about yourself you never knew. Thing you wish you never knew. Shakespeare’s “Sonnet 137” shows the dirt and ugly and immoral side your heart can obtain when love is blinding you.

Ever since the beginning of time, love has played an enormous role among humans. Everyone feels a need to love and to be loved. Some attempt to fill this yearning with activities and possessions that will not satisfy – with activities in which they should not participate and possessions they should not own. In Andrew Marvell’s poem, “To His Coy Mistress,” the speaker encounters an emotion some would call love but fits better under the designation of lust for a woman. In contrast, the speaker of Robert Herrick’s poem, “To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time,” urges virgins to marry, to make a lasting commitment in which love plays a

There exists no power as inexplicable as that of love. Love cannot be described in a traditional fashion; it is something that must be experienced in order for one to truly grasp its full enormity. It is the one emotion that can lead human beings to perform acts they are not usually capable of and to make sacrifices with no thought of the outcome or repercussions. Though love is full of unanswered questions and indescribable emotions, one of the most mystifying aspects of love is its timeless nature. Love is the one emotion, unlike superficial sentiments such as lust or jealousy, which can survive for years, or even generations. In the novel The Gargoyle, the author, Andrew Davidson, explores the idea of eternal love between two people,

Love is a term used daily in one’s life. Many categorize love in many forms. These forms differ from one-another such as the difference between love for food and love for one’s spouse. However, in the play; “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, love takes different forms than the ones experienced in reality. One can classify the different types of love used in this play into three different categories; true love, love produced by cupid’s flower, and the state of lust.

Diane Ackerman’s purpose for writing her essay “Love’s Vocabulary” is to inform the reader not to underestimate love since love is the great intangible and cannot be defined, but can be felt. The neutral and positive connotation of words such as “monotone” and “delirium” suggest Ackerman’s passionate tone about how love cannot be the same constant emotion that is felt everyday, but a powerful feeling that has many meanings since love is an emotion that is older than humanity itself. Ackerman’s use of figurative language, particularly metaphor and personification, reveal that Ackerman is trying to inform the reader that love is to intangible to be defined in a single word that is often used, which can also connect to her irritating attitude

The opinion and image that most people have of Eros, the god of love in Greek mythology, often reflect the view and representation that people have for love itself. Since love is such a puzzling matter, people quickly form an ambivalent opinion toward Eros. Robert Bridges and Anne Stevenson reveal these uncertain feelings toward Eros in their poems directed to the Greek god of love through their diction, allowing readers to notice similarities and differences in their works. Although Bridges and Stevenson expose a level of uncertainty and sympathy toward Eros in their poems, both poets different inquisitive interpretations of Eros divulge their true and differing feelings toward

To emphasize the significance of love to a human being’s survival, the poem begins with the many aspects that love isn’t capable of. By stating the ways love is useless in providing as a necessity of life, the speaker is able to persuade the reader(s) that it serves no real purpose. Displaying the a b a parts of a Shakespearean sonnet rhyme scheme, love “is not meat or drink nor slumber nor a roof against the rain; nor yet a floating spar to men that sink,” (Millay 1-3) it holds no practical value. It can’t provide you with food and shelter you from nature or even help you to survive. In other words, these stanzas connected the image of love to an idea of uselessness in surviving.

As the popular saying goes: if you love something, set it free. This is used as a test of sorts to find out if love is true love. This distinction between different kinds of love is important because sometimes love can hurt everyone that is involved. Artists choose many methods to get this idea across in their works. One of them, C.S. Lewis, chose to convey this message using beauty and justice.

In the essay “Loves Vocabulary” Diane Ackerman portrays the notion of love possessing not just the ability to produce a buoyant feeling, but also cause emotional harm. The analogy of arrows communicates the idea of love encompassing not solely pleasant feelings as well as negative.

There are numerous fundamental feelings that structure the building squares of our lives. These feelings help to shape the individuals that we are. These emotions are enthusiastic necessities to eventually keep us euphoric. No bit of writing these emotions more apparent than the Odyssey by Homer. All through the course of this book there is one major enthusiastic subject: love.

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 speaker alternates between professing great love and professing great worry as he speculates about the young man’s misbehavior and the dark lady’s multiple sexual partners. As the young man and the dark lady begin an affair, the speaker imagines himself caught in a love triangle, mourning the loss of his friendship with the man and love with the woman, and he laments having fallen in love with the woman in the first place. In Sonnet 137, the speaker personifies love, calls him a simpleton, and criticizes him for removing his powers of perception. It was love that caused the speaker to make mistakes and poor judgments. Elsewhere the speaker calls love a disease as a way of demonstrating the physical pain of emotional wounds.

In order to describe the form which Donne gives to true love he chooses to create a scene of separation. He insists that when in love, absence is not a cause for despair. Stanza two describes the usual reaction lovers have to separation but explains that such reactions of tears and sighs do not prove one’s love but rather the

The poem “Definition of Love” captures the intense human experience of love. The speaker is finding love himself and is reflecting on himself. In his eyes love is “rare” and “strange” hyperbolising how beautiful love is however it is “begotten by despair”, altering the meaning of love describing it as a negative emotion. The speaker expresses idealistic love “Two perfect loves” but his love too perfect making it unattainable hyperbolising the speaker’s views of love. In the seventh stanza the simile “As line, love so oblique may well angle greet” incorporates a mathematical notion comparing his love creating vivid imagery for readers of his love and how unrealistic it is.

Christmas was just an hour away, and I found myself in the presence of family and friends. They all had their phones out, in attempt to capture the memory that was unfolding before them. Overwhelmed with such joy and passion, I presented my gift to my girlfriend, Victoria. The gift was a hand-crafted book. The book had a cardboard cover with the title “God’s Ordained Love.” The book was tied together with leather and contained burn edged pages, that were stained with coffee to make the book appear old.
