Essay about Theme of Love in Captain Corelli's Mandolin

It is only fitting that the title of the book, as well as the book-within-the-book, is one of the key themes.

The feeling of love is magical; the world is painted with pastel singing birds and blooming flowers, and the heart is full and warm as the lover inadvertently falls deeper into the realm of affection for a person he sees through a pair of blinders. While love can bring the emotions of joy, tenderness, and a sense of wholeness in one’s heart, the soul-crushing, heart-wrenching discovery that the lover does not share mutual feelings drastically shifts the perfect world of a person in love into a chaotic world of anguish. Feelings of anger, bitterness, and longing consumes the lover and leaves him in a frenzy of mixed emotions. In John Donne’s “Love’s Deity”, the complex feelings associated with unrequited love is displayed through the use of

The wife loves her husband in a passionate way, the wife also has a deep connection and love for their cat that passed away. A relationship with a child is also mention by the man, however we soon discover they are unable to conceive.

When the man inquires about their love and what they have loved, the woman replies, “Last year this time I had me a fourth, but it got run over. Upon the road there, by the time tall trees, by a man who didn’t even stop” (Rooke 3). Even after the passing of the cat the women's love was unconditional, it states, “She’d dug a grave under the grapevine and said sweet words over it. She sorely missed the cats” (Rooke 3). Death is inevitable, someday the passing of our loved ones will come. Death of the cat symbolizes the evil present in their love relationships.

Since the beginning of time, many philosophers have wondered; what does genuine love look like? This profound question is addressed in the novel Fahrenheit 451.

She also found a part of herself that she never showed or saw with other people and this side of her is good because it makes her happy, and makes her interested to see what happens next in her life since she never has anything big to look forward too.

Teacher and classmates, A few weeks ago, I questioned Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet wondering why, why is this literature still prominent in today's society? The foreign tongue it is written in, the seemingly basic and boring plot and the lack of action all combined being regarded as one of man’s greatest achievements didn't quite equate.
