An example of this untrue love was when Gatsby argued that, “She (Daisy) only married you because I was poor and she was tired of waiting for me…. In her heart she never loved anyone except me!” This quote is a perfect demonstration of relationships being present due to things other than love. Daisy was too impatient to wait for Gatsby, so she decided to find someone temporary, Tom was that guy. She always knew her heart belonged to Gatsby, but she needed a replacement while he was away from her.
When in a relationship individuals will make decisions that are foolish, to sustain and keep their relationships alive. Romeo and Juliet are two prime examples of individuals who make foolish decisions; Juliet was willing to never see her family again, or to even die rather than not being able to be with Romeo. These characters embody the human craving to live within a committed relationship, although their want to live within a relationship leads them towards their inevitable deaths. Individuals fawning to live within a committed relationship will cause individuals to take part in foolish actions just to live within their relationships. All individuals are in control of their actions, but some actions will consequently damage
Malik Charlie Gordon's doctors in the story "Flowers for Algernon" did not act ethically when they performed the surgery to make him smarter. Charlie Gordon did the surgery to become more intelligent and increase his very low IQ. His doctors were proud of their work, and didn't think ethically of the matter of Charlie's wellbeing. Ethics are developed standards of doing what's right over what's knowingly wrong. They have consistent reason for being ethical.
The Role of Love and Hate in A Christmas Carol and Wuthering Heights In A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens, and Wuthering Heights, by Emily Brontë, love and hate are two of the key driving forces behind these two stories. These concepts are demonstrated in these novels by love in the form of an inability of people to love who they truly care about the most (along with possibly misplaced love), hate in the form of strong hatred and disgust between characters, and the passing on of hate in families in the form of abuse/indifference. These concepts helped shape the plot of the stories by giving the audience a deeper insight into the relationships between the characters and a better understanding of why situations played out the way they
Another example is that even though Romeo and Juliet are fated to end up together they end up dying or stumbling because they went to fast and did not take it slow. Juliet kills herself when she is only thirteen because she sees that Romeo killed himself because he thought that Juliet was dead. When the Capulets and the Montagues find Romeo and Juliet both dead they end their family feud and come together as one. In the beginning,
The downsides of love are portrayed through the inclusion of many unhealthy relationships that all work together to take a toll on each character. First, Tom and Daisy are
It is the contributions of the inability to recognize other possible results, the making of irresponsible and immediate decisions, and the blaming of actions on uncontrollable circumstances. The characters may not have been mature enough to take on love and make quality decisions, but they should learn from those experiences. It is very important to address all possible results before taking
One example is after Juliet's first encounter with Romeo at the party. When finding out the Romeo is from the enemy’s family, she tells her personal guardian, “ My only love, sprung from my only hate!” (Shakespeare III.v.147). This shows that even Juliet realizes that her true love rose from those who she was supposed to hate. This proves that violence can put an end to problems, because Romeo's problem of finding true love is solved due to the enmity of the families.
Finally, Lancelot’s affair with Arthur and Queen Guinevere set off a chain of actions that destroy the kingdom of Camelot. In the Arthurian legend, love triangles always have fatal consequences and never end well between its constituents. Firstly, the ancient tale of Tristan, Iseult of Ireland, and King Mark of Cornwall demonstrate how dangerous love can be. For example, Tristan’s and Iseult’s affair, discovered by King Mark, causes Tristan to flee in exile.
While mankind has made substantial progress in ridding the world of diseases, mental illnesses are still prominent, and often overlooked. In the novel Wuthering Heights, Emily Brontë highlights illnesses caused by tensions in order to construct a world where mental health problems and internal struggles take on a life of their own. In the case of Catherine Earnshaw Linton and Heathcliff Earnshaw, the body follows the mind 's descent into distress, with mental illness inflating strenuous circumstances. On the surface, the fevers and hallucinations are nothing more than a plot point orchestrated to spawn grief.
In Austen’s novel, this can be seen through Lydia Bennet. She runs away with her lover, Wickham, and ruins not only her reputation - but her families as well, “Elizabeth’s power was sinking; everything must sink under such a proof of family weakness, such an assurance 3 of the deepest disgrace. She could neither wonder nor condemn, but the belief of Darcy's self-conquest brought nothing consolatory to her bosom, afforded no palliation of her distress. It was, on the contrary, exactly calculated to make her understand her own wishes; and never had she so honestly felt that she could have loved him, as now,
Topic: Marriage in “Jane Eyre” In “Jane Eyre” Charlotte Brontë rejects the traditional role of women subdued by social conceptions and masculine authority by generating an identity to her female character.

Emily Brontë approaches the idea of sickness and death of the characters in her novel Wuthering Heights in a peculiar way. The characters that are ill are usually mentally ill, and their deaths often result from physical ailments derived from mental illness. The drive for revenge and desire for love that reigns among the characters often lands them in stressful situations that cause them to spiral downward into these mental illnesses. Emily Brontë’s emphasis on the motif of sickness and death in Wuthering Height deepens the drama of the plot and constructs more complicated relationships between the characters.
Wuthering Heights is a novel by Emily Brontë, published in 1847. The book's core theme is the destructive effect that jealousy and vengefulness have, both on the jealous or vengeful individuals and on their communities. Although Wuthering Heights is now widely regarded as a classic of English literature, it received mixed reviews when first published, and was considered controversial because its depiction of mental and physical cruelty was unusually stark, and it challenged strict Victorian ideals of the day, including religious hypocrisy, morality, social classes and gender inequality. Wuthering Heights, which has long, been one of the most popular and highly regarded novels in English literature. In my essay I will write about
The novel was published during the Industrial Revolution, a time of great economic change in which laborers fought for fair conditions at the workplace, and employers fought to defend themselves. People formed groups to work for their own benefit, thus causing the separation of classes. As a novel written during the Victorian era, Emily Bronte’s intensely class conscious novel Wuthering Heights is a story of protecting and improving one's social and economic class. Much of this struggle results from a distinct division of classes and is described through such ways as personal relationships, appearance of characters, and even the setting. The division of classes is based on cultural, economic, and social differences, and it greatly affects the general behavior and actions of each character.
