    Compare the Views of Relationships in ‘the Unequal Fetters’ with Those in ‘to His Coy Mistress’. What Is Suggested About the Different Ways in Which Men and Women View Love?

    Both poems share the same theme of love but they do not share the same view about love in general. The poems differentiate in many ways; they both have very different meanings. 'The Unequal Fetters' was written from the point of view of a woman whereas 'To His Coy Mistress' was by the point of view of a man. This is good because we get different opinions via the two different genders on how they perceived love and how they enforced love in to their life. Although they share the same theme they were written in different times periods which may influence the opinion of love authored by each poet.'The Unequal Fetters' was written in the late seventeenth century early eighteenth, and 'To His Coy Mistress' was written in the mid seventeenth century. 'The Unequal Fetters' concentrates on the tie of women in marriage, and 'To His Coy Mistress' relates to seductive love.…

    The Four Loves Cs Lewis Summary

    The Four Loves, authored by British novelist C.S. Lewis, is often viewed as one of the best books written on the subject of love as it pertains to religion. In the book, Lewis covers many ideas including the four types of love which include: storgé (empathetic love/affection), philia love (the love between friends), Eros (erotic/romantic love), and Agapé (the unconditional ‘God’ love). In this book, Lewis also covers the differences between need and gift love; however, one of the most astounding statements that Lewis makes is in the storgé passage, specifically in the section about affection where he states, “Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our natural lives.” (pg. 53). Lewis also states, "The highest does not stand without the lowest. (pg.9) If affection is part of storgé, which is considered the lowest love, then to obtain the higher loves one must have affection. Furthermore, storgé (commonly referred to as affection) creates stamina in natural relations between people due precisely to that low-level nature it…

    Desiree's baby vs. The Lady with the Pet Dog

    The short stories called Desiree’s Baby by Kate Chopin and The Lady with the Pet Dog by Anton Chekhov both contain the theme of love but it is told in different ways for each short stories. As deep as both stories go, it is possible to see that the each author wrote about love but in opposite ways.

    Karate Kid Belonging

    Peter speaks of his father’s reminiscences, experiences and cultural interactions shared with friends which enriched his sense of belonging- “Talking, they reminisced” “About farms where paddocks flowered with corn and wheat” “They were skilled in slaughtering” these were the elements that shaped his father’s early life, this is the life (world) that Peter feels alienated and excluded from. This exclusion is caused by the cultural divide of time, place and language in which Peter did not interact with, which cut Peter from the connection his father enjoys. Peter’s lack of interaction is also represented in Stanza 2 where he is seen as the observer of the situation rather than the participant, these acts where the reason of Peters questioning of his father’s dedication (belonging) – “I often wondered how he existed”. Peter has clearly represented his alienation, not because of migrations process itself but by being the son of a person who has taken on such a journey in his life to belong in a country other than his homelands. He observes and listens rather than participates, he acknowledges his father’s connection with his polish friends and with the garden but yet still is not able to share- “My father sits out the evening with his dog, smoking, watching stars and street lights come on, happy as I have never been” this quote using visual image illustrates that after a life of work Feliks is at rest with himself and his place in the present and seeing the past (watching stars) in the…

    Jonathan Franzen Liking Is For Cowards Analysis

    He hereby tries to create a judicial separation between the passionate real love, and the love for material goods. The speech giver mentions how material love is very costly for one to maintain, since: “The message, in each case, is that if you love somebody you should buy stuff”. Cleverly enough he lets the low budget students know, that not only is the love for material goods expensive to maintain, it’s also not nearly as lasting and beneficial for yourself as real love. He sets up his own point as being the only smart choice in this…

    Comparison and Contrast of Sappho’s Poems with Egyptian Love Poems

    The ideas of love in the Egyptian love poems are almost similar to Sappho’s idea of love, but there is a difference in the way they approach it.
