Wilbur Quotes About Love

Love, in 'Romeo and Juliet' has its own importance in the theme of inner struggle between the two protagonists, Romeo and Juliet. Juliet is torn between staying loyal to her family and therefore obeying her parents to marry Paris or staying married to an enemy, Romeo, “My husband lives, that Tybalt has slain; / And Tybalt's dad, that would have slain my husband: / All this is comfort; wherefore weep I then?” (3:2). On the other hand, Romeo has his struggles too. He juggles between the idea of banishment from Verona and not being able to see his beloved Juliet again and that of death, “Ha, banishment? Be merciful, say 'death'.” (3:3). The secret marriage between Romeo and Juliet is also one of the outcomes due to love. It is because of love that Juliet risked her parents' disapproval to not marry Paris and Romeo risked the danger of being killed by Capulet's kinsmen to go to see her. Yet again, this shows the inner struggle of Romeo and Juliet.

Love is a drug that feels good in the moment but has negative consequences later on. This is shown in Romeo and Juliet when Mercutio and Romeo are about to enter the Capulet's feast. Romeo states,"Under love's heavy burden, do I sink." (Act 1 Scene 4) Personification is utilised to verify that love may feel light, but when it is passionate it tends to be heavy that it sinks you deep into your conscience where you can't escape from it. In that same scenario, another excerpt is being incorporated to reinforce that love is a drug that feels good but has negative consequences. "Is love a tender thing? Is it too rough, too rude, too boist'rous, and it pricks like thorn." (Act 1 Scene 4) A rhetorical question and a simile are applied to this particular excerpt to identify and imply that love is unpredictable and it may not always account for what you want it to or

In this society, they feel that love doesn’t exist or that it’s unnecessary. I believe this because Montag asked Mildred, “Does your ‘family’ love you, love you very much, love you with all your heart and soul, Millie?” and she answers him and says, “Why’d you ask a silly question like that?”(Bradbury 77). Mildred’s answer to Montag is like that because she knows that her “family” doesn’t love

The biggest belief that Chris McCandless has is that trust is essential to have a relationship with someone. This idea became clear to me in chapter twelve when I saw the quote that McCandless had highlighted in his book saying, “Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth. I sat at a table where rich food and wine in abundance, an obsequious attendance, but sincerity and truth were not; and I went away hungry,” and then the author mentions that McCandless wrote the word “truth” at the top of the page (page 117). From the fact that McCandless wrote and highlighted these words means that the quote is important, and the word truth was significant to him. Therefore, I can see that McCandless agrees with this quote and values truth more than any amount of money or love. Truth is something obviously something McCandless cant live without and I think this is because of his relationship with his dad. McCandless’s father wasn’t truthful with his family in chapter twelve when the author said, “Long after falling in love with Billie, long after she gave birth to Chris, Walt continued his relationship with Marcia in secret, dividing his time between two households” (page 121). In this quote we can see that

Love is defined as the intense feeling of deep affection. In the play, Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare, the attraction between the two protagonists, Romeo and Juliet, does not factually classify as true love. Meanwhile, lust is a concept in which is commonly mistaken for love, which is very apparent throughout this classic “love story” of Romeo and Juliet. While others could debate that Romeo and Juliet’s love, was love at first sight, it is debateable that their feelings towards one another were pure lust. Romeo and Juliet are too immature to fully understand the concept of love as they are too young and hormone-driven, they were both in search for escapism from their present troubles, and they had an excessive amount of

Love, by definition, is an intense feeling of affection, associated with attachment. Love can be very painful for many people since they end up getting hurt by the person they love. With the power love possesses, it has been used throughout literature in plays, books, poems, essays, and more. Dorothy Parker was a writer starting when she was in her twenties. Over the years, she began writing her own books, which became very popular. She expanded her writing style through her career and became very well known for how realistic and blunt her writing was. In the poem “A Certain Lady,” Dorothy Parker uses symbolism to convey a theme of how damaging love can be. For example, Parker describes “eager lips” to show her attraction to him, even though he was causing her pain by not being faithful. She also describes that her heart is dying over and over every time he tells her of his excursions with other women. Parker seems regretful by the way she ends her poem, and the characters are never described individually.

Diane Ackerman's purpose for writing her essay “Love’s Vocabulary” is to inform readers that the delight of love can actually unravel other emotions irrelative to it. Such as harsh emotions that cannot be correlated into the one positive emotion of love. Love is not self-explanatory because there are many ways we perceive love rather than just its fondness. The negative connotations of words such as “pitifully” or “paltry” suggest her irritating tone because synonyms of love are unfortunately limited. This makes love vague since there are minimal synonyms that would help explain upon it. Her tone is characterized with irritation since it frustrates her that there are no other synonyms to make a clear interpretation of love. Her use of figurative

Because Buttercup’s love for Westley is so strong, that even after he died, she still never loved anyone. At first, I thought that it was weird when Buttercup told Westley that she loved him because she had treated him poorly for several years, but then I realized it was true love when she said that she must never love again and she never did. I chose this quote because it shows that sometimes love does exist and sometimes it comes from the most unexpected person. It also shows that some people are willing to do anything for love. Buttercup was devastated when Westley and she vowed to never love again which shows she really loved him and didn’t want to betray him by loving someone

Through great personal sacrifice and sheer will, Eliza is able to create her own distinct legacy, one that resonates to this very day. Eliza in Act I is demure and naive. After she falls head over heels in love with Alexander, she never truly stands up for herself even when he continually chooses his work over her.

“Love is a smoke raised with the fume of sighs; Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes; Being vexed a sea nourish'd with loving tears:What is it else? a madness most discreet, A choking gall, and a preserving sweet”(Act I.Scene i. Lines 190-194).Romeo is most commonly known as just being a character who is desperately in love, but there are other sides to him as well. In Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare the main character, Romeo undergoes a change in himself. Romeo goes through a phase in the beginning where he is sad and in the middle loved, and by the end he feels arrogant and hopeless.

Love makes people behave in strange ways. It can cause one to betray their morals, make hasty decisions, and act in wild, rash ways. Often, it is also difficult to tell the difference between love and infatuation at first. This can cause one to act in ways that they normally would not and the choices that they make usually do not reflect their best interests. In William Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet, the protagonist, Juliet, initially is an innocent young girl who would not even dream of marriage or even romance.

Juliet admits that she is committed to losing her identity to be with Romeo when she says, “Deny thy father and refuse thy name. / Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, / And I’ll no longer be a Capulet” (Romeo and Juliet II.II.34-36). To begin, Juliet is inclined to lose her name just so she can be with Romeo. Additionally, Juliet is sworn by love which means that love wields her actions and can control her. Considering this, Juliet indirectly explains that the lovers must be willing to give up the most important things, like their name, since they are bound by the oath known as love. Going off of Juliet’s claim about the nature of love, Romeo explains that love should be more important than life itself. Romeo is more willing to die rather than live without Juliet since he says, “Here’s to my love! / O true apothecary, / Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die” (Romeo and Juliet V.III.129-131). To put this in another way, Romeo realized that Juliet is dead and cannot be with him anymore, so he uses the drug from the apothecary to kill himself. Moreover, this action of suicide tells the reader a lot about the nature of love since Romeo killed himself due to there being a lack of love in his life. Romeo suggests that love is more important

The play Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, is thought to be a romantic love story but in reality it just shows an extreme case of teenage lust, extreme for the reason that it ends in both ‘lovers’ suicides. Throughout the play, Romeo and Juliet rush through their ‘love story’, getting married within a day of meeting each other and then killing themselves because they will not be able to be together. In Act 2, Scene 2 of the play, Romeo sneaks into Juliet’s garden and is watching her without her knowledge. When he sees her appear on her balcony he says, “it is my lady. O, it is my love!”(line 10) This seems to be a statement of true love until it is taken into account that Romeo has only just met Juliet and cannot truly love her; he just wishes that she were his love.

From a romantic view its very oblivious to what Eliza means here, which is that she is in love with Higgins and wants to get him alone. To be the only two people on a desert island to be able to see and speak with one another without the difference in social class get in the way. Though on a realistic viewpoint, Eliza is simply saying that yes she has sexual urges but if we continue to read to the end of the play we see that she knows better for her own good that she must stop and be with those who care for her. Those who see her as a person and not an object in which they paid for as Higgins
