The Romance of Tristan and Iseult, by Joseph Bédier, and Jean Cocteau’s 1943 cinematic adaptation of the epic love story Eternal Return, both portray the love between Tristan and Iseult, and Patrice and Natalie as an agonizing cancer that overpowers the lovers after they consume the love potion. But the differences of how and when the love potion is administered, and the lovers’ feelings for each other before the potion is drunk, reveal different depictions of the love potion between the novel and

Addicted to Love In Gottfried Von Strassburg’s retelling of the ancient romance, Tristan, love’s portrayal as a psychological disease is considerable. For Rivalin and Blancheflor, Tristan and Isolde, and also King Mark, the affliction causes them to act in a way that they would normally shun. Love changes the perspective on life of those who become intoxicated by its power; whether it’s shared as a couple or entirely unreciprocated, the lust to attain and secure its presence is consuming.

Abstract Princess Diana was known as the people’s princess; but Diana was much more than that. Diana was an activist, humanitarian, public servant and a leader.

The major themes were mourning of the lost, enduring pain of one’s heart, yearning for dear one’s love, and putting time as a fault for these grievances. In The Wanderer, the man mourns for his former position of a warrior who had a great lord, friends, and joy. He sought for comfort and a companion -- “One acquainted with pain understands how cruel a traveling companion sorrow is for someone with few friends at his side” (line 29-31)—but he soon forces himself to endure pain by stating that “A

As Tristan’s fingers danced with the strings of the harp, a soft melody filled the void of the courtyard. Queen Isolde sat near and closed her eyes at the sound of the precious song her pauper delivered, becoming more and more mesmerized with each note he played. It was a familiar song-- her mother used to sing a similar rhythm to her as a girl before the plague struck.
