According to an online article, it states that that complex organ inside our head is hardwired to want love and keep love at all costs—a response that has been crucial to the survival of our…

Sight There is a thin line when it comes to lust and love. Love and lust are often confused because they seem to be alike. In reality Lust and Love are two completely different relationships. The relationship between these words certainly vary in interpretation. A person that lusts desires sexual and sensual pleasure while a person in love sees beyond physical appearance and simply takes the person for who they are underneath. Lust and Love tend to develop several ways to compare them with the…

parables, one sees how both sexuality and love can and will drive men to a perverted behavior. Indeed, Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales reflect the interdependency of sex and love. One of the fundamental ideas brought forward by Chaucer is the idea that men utilize God’s gifts in a disordered fashion. Love is intended to be a beautiful recognition of one’s purposeful attraction for another’s masculinity or femininity. Sex is meant to be the ultimate act of martial love; man and woman becoming one…

Furthermore, perfect love is for both relationships between individuals and relationships between aspirations. I agree with Aristophanes’ eulogy that love is for a relationship between humans, both of body and mind, as we all search for our other halves in order to become complete once again and thereby regaining their prized possession of love (Plato 27). Though I believe that Aristophanes’ concept lacks because it fails to include another important aspect of love’s purpose: aspirations.…

In book four, Dido’s love for Aeneas was growing more passionate than ever. She longed to be near him to hear his voice, to be able to touch his skin. She wanted to tell him how she felt but was afraid her voice would crack mid-sentence. She had ordered a feast to be held for Aeneas and his men. After the feast, everyone had gone to bed leaving her feeling lonely and distraught.

ridicules life and love, but while he criticizes the religious and philosophical leaders of his time, the Frenchman overemphasizes and makes fun of the idea of romance. Through the characters Candide and the breathtaking Miss Cunogonde, he gives very different outlooks on the concept of intimacy and admiration. In the dramatic quest to marry the irresistible Miss Cunogonde, Voltaire effortlessly uses satire and various characters to display the diverse concept of romantic love. Through the use…

Romeo and Juliet is by far the most famous love story in English stories. Love in the story, is the most dominant theme. William Shakespeare has an interesting view toward philosophy about young love. In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare's persona about young love consists of the forcefulness of love, love as a cause of violence, and fickle love or as we call it, puppy love. In the timeline of the play, the young couple constantly defy the social aspects of the world. For example, families:…

storm-tossed” (Lucretius 50). He views love as a sort of frenzy which engulfs the lovers in madness. It disrupts the lives of individuals as “their days are passed at the mercy of another’s whim” (Lucretius 51). They begin to “die from hunger and general idleness, because they would not do anything apart from each other” (The Speech of Aristophanes, 191a-b). They lose sight of their duties and strength, and instead focus on the “icy heartache” associated with love (Lucretius 49). The lover’s…

Do you believe in the ability for teens to feel true love? No? Well, what about marriages that are the result of high school relationships? My parents met in highschool and have been married for 19 years. So if you think about it, it is possible that Romeo and Juliet truly did love each other. A lot of people say teens cannot experience true love but that's just not true at all. If teenagers can love their parents then why can't they love someone they connect with. Teenagers are at a state of…
