Love is All There Is Love can be a very confusing emotion. Love is defined as an intense feeling of deep affection, but intense feelings can be a sign of true love or of a brief infatuation. Sometimes it works out and sometimes it does not. Many people disagree about what true love is, so what does being in love really mean? In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the title characters are portrayed as being convinced they are madly in love. But are Romeo and Juliet truly in love or are they just simply

According to dictionary.com, love is defined as "a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person." To infatuate is "to inspire or possess with a foolish or unreasoning passion, as of love." Both words might be similar in definition, but to me, they are completely opposite. To me, the words differ because of the desires they each imply. Although, in the play Romeo and Juliet, the two are used carelessly and interchangeably.         If I had to define the word "love" I would say that it

which requires more than what can be obtained upon first sight, or even over the course of a few days, as in the case of Romeo and Juliet, where it is illustrated that the protagonists are so deeply in love with each other that they consider their romance to be of a higher priority than their own lives; that they had been willing to sacrifice themselves for their lover. In addition, love often segues

In comparing Romeo and Juliet to another novel Jorgensen states that “They are not so much agents as helpless victims; and they are as sexually inexperienced as Antony and Cleopatra are richly experienced, and hence have the idealistic odor of first true love. Juliet, indeed, is so artless that

In “To Fall in Love with Anyone, Do this” Mandy Len Catron argues that it’s easy to fall in love. She’s right it’s easy to fall head over heels for someone, but it’s also hard to fall out of love. People encounter many things that can hinder them from moving on therefore, I believe that falling out of love is more complex than falling in love. Catron fascination for the scientific component of love began after she experienced a break up in which her heart out-ruled her mind. In the midst, Catron

“The Chaser” is a short story written by John Collier referring to a man named Alan attempting to purchase a cheap love potion so a woman, Diana will love him the way he loves her. The theme of the story is “Love is only a temporary illusion.” Lots of ordinary people fall in love and naively believe it will last forever. As they are in the grasp of the “illusion” they will do ANYTHING to acquire a type of control over their loved ones, but once reality finally sets in the once passionate

If you love something, should you let it go? Or should you hold onto it, even through bruised and bloodied knuckles? Do you even have a reason to be hanging on? Is it because you truly believe you love something? Or is it because you love the idea of never letting go?

The first sections of sonnets are believed to be written to the Earl of Southampton, Henry Wriothesley. The other half is believed to be written for a mysterious woman, known as “The Dark Lady”. These sonnets talk about many things: beauty, forgiveness, brevity of life, etc, in order to express and

two scenes from two movies (The Great Gatsby, Romeo and Juliet). I believe that the Fish tank scene in Romeo and Juliet then the scene when Nick meets Gatsby is another successful scene.

The depicted definition of romance is aspired by every individual who yearns to be wooed in order to fall in love with their beloved one. Romantic strategies have been defined by society throughout centuries and has resulted in the upbringing of new ways of pursuing a lover.
