To what extent do you agree that obsession is a significant element in the gothic writing you have studied? The word obsession means the domination of one’s thoughts or feelings by a persistent idea‚ image or desire. With this in mind‚ both Faustus and Frankenstein show symptoms of monomania in relation to academic obsession.

At some point in our lives we will fall in love like no other has before. This love will be different and nothing will compare to this person. No poem nor song nor person could explain the feelings or love for that person. In Sonnet 130‚ Shakespeare wrote a sonnet about the person he loves and this love compares to no other. In most sonnets he has written he has compared beauty to the most beautiful things but this sonnet is different. He talks about her beauty but contrasted it from things that

Humans have a wide array of emotions. The most complex of our emotions are the feelings of love and hate. We are able to feel compassion‚ envy‚ patience and even indifference. All together‚ the words mentioned may not be noted as a blessing‚ to some it may be considered a curse. Many people would say these two emotions are completely the opposite of one another but others might say that they are almost exactly alike. I guess some people believe that they are linked to each other because they both

It starts off with Caroline in a just ending relationship where she is hung up on the guy that left her. Her friends call her on it and help her refrain from trying to repair it.

In a Mid Summer’s Night Dream and The Princess Bride‚ specific scenes between the couples‚ show and tell about how foolish‚ true love really is.
