Love On Love : The Power Of Love

The last of the three components of love is decision/ commitment. According to, “A Triangular Theory of Love,” this component, “includes the cognitive elements within a relationship.” Furthermore, this is, “the decision that one loves someone else, and in the long term, the commitment to maintain that love” (Sternberg, 1985). In other words, this is choosing to develop a relationship with an individual and choosing to love and remain loyal to that one partner for a long time, or life. Similarity, “the cognitive component, which reflects the decision to make a long-term commitment to a loved one” (Kassin, Fein, & Markus, 2016). In other terms, this long-term decision to stay with a loved is mainly based on the fact that the couple is in love.

The Game of Love and Chance is a play written by Pierre de Marivaux (1688-1763), who is a French novelist and dramatist that is now considered one of the best French playwrights of the eighteenth century. He has written over thirty plays that focus more towards romantic comedy. Marivaux was born in Paris, France on February 4th, 1688, and deceased on February 12th, 1963 in Paris. The game of Love and Chance (also called “Le Jeu de l’amour et du hasard” in French), is a romantic comedy genre, and the main subject of it is love. It was first performed on the 23rd of January 1730 at the Comedie-Italienne, where Marivaux’s plays were mostly performed. Originally, in 1697, the theatre Comedie-Italienne was shut down due to offensive contents, and the companies were banished from France. However, in 1716, the companies were permitted back to France, and from there, the companies focused on the works of French playwrights, more specifically on Pierre de Marivaux’s plays. An important category that The Game of Love and Chance belongs to is comedy of manners, which means “a comedy that satirizes behavior in a particular social group, especially the upper classes”. The play used comedy in order to explore the political issues of class and satirized behaviors. The play is about assumed identity, the ultimate triumph of true love, and the tyranny of social taboos. The play also considers the social status and the importance it played in the eighteenth century courtship and marriage.

Love is said to be the greatest human experience in which mankind are privilege to partake in. To love can be a wondrous experience filling life with bliss and other strong emotions. Some people believe to love is to be alive and be able to see the good in the world and others. The purpose of this paper is to examine and find a better understanding of what is love, to explore what people believe love to be, and what lies surround the perception of love and to explore and expose what the meaning true love is or at the very least the authors understanding of the perception of love. In addition to exploring the concept, deception and the truth of love,

Through first person perspective, further analysis regarding the possible danger the power of love can posses is shown. Tavia was talking to her therapist Elizabeth, about the unusually quick feelings of attachment she has for a boy that she has only talked to once; Quinn, as Tavia states, “It's almost like I’m two people - one who can’t stop thinking about Benson...one who can’t stop thinking about Quinn.” (Pike.68) This quote demonstrates that the power of love takes full control of one’s thoughts. When someone like Tavia is in love, all thoughts are about the one you trust and love the most as the author illustrated this by using first person perspective to demonstrate Tavia’s inner voice at all times. When someone is able to control one’s

In 2008 the snowboarding brand, Burton released the contentious ‘Love’ series of snowboards, which featured images of 80’s playboy bunnies emblazoned on the boards. Parmett reviews academic debate concerning the objectification of women in sport and uses the series of boards as a case study of modern gendered lifestyle branding.

One boundless power in our universe is the power of love, which rips down barriers and creates a world where everything is in harmony. Love’s immense strength can be portrayed throughout literature. In Shakespeare's play, Romeo and Juliet, and John Green’s book, Fault in Our Stars, the theme that love overpowers everything is conveyed throughout the pages. In Shakespeare’s play, two-star crossed lovers fall in love despite the quarrel of their families. In John Green’s book, two cancer-stricken teenagers fall in love despite their limitations. The theme of love overpowering everything is evident in both stories through the external conflicts that failed to prevent their love, the lovers going great lengths to see each other, and deaths of the other lover.

Luv smiled. Rick wanted nothing more than to make her happy, at least in bed. In her heart, she knew she wasn’t ready for another serious relationship and he wasn’t either. Why did she have to pigeonhole it, name and analyze it? She told herself he cared for her. He'd said as much. It was kind of sexy thinking of herself as his mistress or lover. Once you give yourself a label like girlfriend or fiancee' there's list of expectations and responsibilities that come with it. She’d often told women to feed their partner’s fantasies if they were within reason. This was within reason. Lover was much sexier than the other labels. No baggage either. The only expectation was that of pleasure. Before now she hadn't considered herself a live in the moment

Two stand in the center, one yearns for the power to not be a burden, the other wishes for the power to lift any hardship, yet both walk together, the strings of many emotions tying them together. As they stand together in me, they stood together outside of me. Mayhaps they, together, might stay here intertwined for a lifetime. Even now, though, a force pushes against my walls like the swelling tide of a raging sea, fully intent on shattering my fortifications, but I shall not let it. I will not let him steal my family.

“The most misinterpreted and misused word is the word, love. It is apparent that the theory and practices of some individuals and groups in our society today who use words, phrases and slogans of love do not convey its real meaning and are used out of context” (Love and its Misuse and Misinterpretation. (n.d.). Retrieved October 6, 2015). We love food, dogs, learning; but what is love according to relationships and what does love look like. Even though the undefinable emotion is commonly used throughout American culture as a simple expression it has more meaning. Everyone wants love, but no one is sure on what that looks like. A researcher named John Alan Lee developed six different love styles that people tend to fall into. In this paper I will discuss the six different love styles in relation to my “Love Style” Inventory, and “Are You a Good Listener” survey.

The speaker in “Porphyria’s Lover” says, “That moment she was mine, mine, fair, perfectly pure and good” (Browning, lines 36-37). Both Robert Browning and Edgar Allan Poe share a love for the themes of obsession, desire, and complicated love. Each of those three themes play an important role in dark love poetry. Each poet describes the main character in their poems as a woman worthy of the speaker’s obsessive, complicated, and desirable love. Both Robert Browning’s tragic “Porphyria’s Lover” and Edgar Allan Poe’s mysterious “Annabel Lee” explore the theme of dark and obsessive love through their use of imagery, alliteration, and mood throughout the poems.

In the famous play “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, William Shakespeare creates a mas-terful comedy that is still able to cover a range of controversial topics. By using specific charac-ters and conflicts, he is able to broach difficult subjects ranging from rape, to coercion. Although this would typically be unpalatable for a comedy, Shakespeare offsets them by using comedic symbolism, and subplots. The appearance of conflicting narratives between these two sides could be assumed, however, the author is able to harmonize these elements around a central idea. The power of love is the greatest theme Shakespeare introduces, which influences every aspect

Does brain equal behavior? Some people have argued that they have difficulty saying it does because they find it hard to believe that our individual, tangible brain controls emotions that many consider to be intangible, such as being in love. This paper will discuss the role that the brain actually plays in love- why we are attracted to certain people, why we feel the way we do when we are around them, and whether or not this is enough to say that in the case of love, brain does equal behavior.

Love is a powerful feeling; it makes you do crazy thing. Many people spend years trying to find it, others give up thinking they’ll never find it. Love has been defined as an intensive feeling of a deep romantic or sexual attachment to someone. Of course, Love doesn 't have to romantic and/or sexual. People who are ace, as in asexual, aromantic and agender, can still be in relationships that are satisfying for them without the needs of a romantic relationship. Familial love is also non-romantic-sexual. However, in this paper, we will be talking about romantic-sexual love, what it is, and why I believe it’s so important to understand and experience.

Love - a word which can make you or break you. Maybe my story isn't heart wrenching, but every story is special. For me, he's special.
