The First Kiss of Love

Love is one of the biggest misconceptions humans partake in. It’s dated back centuries, the contradicting emotion exceeding nearly all other ideas and stories. Teen boys and girl are the most at fault when it comes to the delusions elicited by love. In William Shakespeare’s Tragedy Romeo and Juliet, the two young teens experience “love” in completely different ways. Romeo dwells only on the beauty that of Juliet in deciding that he loves her while Juliet searches for an intimate relationship, evidently

true romantic love is only found in Disney movies or in fairytales. In the play, Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, real romantic love is shown when two characters with feuding families fall in love. The readers find out that Romeo and Juliet have to make sacrifices for each other to keep their love a secret. In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare shows that romantic love can be found but not at first sight, and that people in love will do anything for each other. The first example of romantic

Romeo and Juliet meet they are instantaneously in love. Love at first sight some would say. But could love at first sight really be the case? No it could not. There are many things that serve to prove Romeo and Juliet were not in love. At the beginning of the play Romeo is in turmoil because he is in love with Rosaline, but she is not in love with him. This is seen when Mercutio tries to find out what is getting Romeo down and Romeo says “Alas, that love, whose view is muffled still,/Should, without

One example that first came to mind is ‘I kissed A Girl’ by Katy Perry. This song topped the billboard charts for seven weeks - and was quickly dubbed a gay anthem, and Katy a gay icon. While some saw it as a declaration of lesbian pride, myself and many other gay/bi people saw it as offensive and invalidating to relationships between WLW (Women who love women). From the get-go, the song describes the unplanned kiss as ‘a loss of discretion’, and something that only happened because the singer had

understand Romeo and Juliet’s love for each other? Due to my understanding of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, I believe Romeo’s “love” for Juliet was in fact true. I believe this because he is willing to forget about Rosaline completely, he is willing to give up his identity, the one thing that defines who he is, and he is so devoted to loving Juliet he is even willing to die just to be with her again. If that doesn’t say true love I don’t know what does. First off, Romeo and Benvolio, still

mood similarly. For example, cool colours are associated with sadness, while warm tones with happiness. Another example being that of the two emotions love and loneliness which are openly displayed in two pieces we will be analysing. The first being a Austrian piece ‘The Kiss’ made by Gustav Klimt in 1908. A well known piece highly associated with love, and quite the opposite to Russel Drysdale’s ‘The Drover’s Wife’. Made in 1945, the Australia artwork shows loneliness. These two artworks deliver completely

single by The Crystals "He Hit Me (And It Felt Like A Kiss)" in (1962) uses amusing vocals with corroding strings and sorrowful drums to enhance this song and shed light on the issue of domestic violence, which describes that eventually individuals in our society become prone to the horrific phenomenon. Another example, is the blues song “Outside Of That” from the album Mama’s got the blues (1923) by Bessie Smith. This song also exemplifies how love can make you accepting to corrupt mechanisms in intimate

The Kiss, as was named by the public, was created by Auguste Rodin. He created this sculpture between 1888 and 1898. The sculpture is categorized as a ‘sculpture-in-the-round’, simply due to the free standing aspect of the artwork. It also allows for the audience to walk around it and view it from various angles, which also allows it to be named a ‘sculpture-in-the-round’. Auguste Rodin captures the moments that two lovers find their passion and lover for one another and attempt to kiss for the very

reckless, romantic journey. Romeo, the protagonist, is romantic and poetic. He is also impulsive, which lead to him falling in love with Juliet. However, he is really in love with the idea of love and not Juliet. In the beginning of the play, one can see that Romeo is head over heels for Rosaline. He was obsessed with Rosaline and in love with her but she did not love him back. Romeo even impulsively ventures to the Capulet’s feast searching for Rosaline. While searching for Rosaline, he lays

tease ye not.” He laughed at her as she rolled her eyes at him. With that he pulled her close for their first kiss, a kiss he made sure would scorch her soul. With his Selkie’s heighten senses he was able to hear her heart race from the pleasure of their kiss. Even as jaded as he was he felt a quickening of his own heartbeat. . After such a kiss he had to have more. Her cum inducing kiss was just a bonus. He still wanted nothing more than a hit and run. No real names, definitely no phone number
