Another example is when Demetrius doesn't love Helena but Demetrius is Helena's true love so she keeps on pursuing him and they end up together.

While being married to Zeena, his unhappiness peaked and caused him to fall in love with another girl who was the Fromes’ maid, Mattie Silver. Romance was in the air and most definitely not between Zeena and Ethan. Ethan flirted with Mattie and would try his hardest to impress her, for example, he began shaving his face everyday which he never used to do for Zeena.

She does not want to be hurt like she saw her father hurt her mother. However, at the same time, she also romanticizes about men and wants to be swept off her feet and get married, which according to Dr. Nielsen is normal. She explains, “A poorly fathered daughter is often unaware of her tendencies because they are all she knows. She is often too clingy, dependent and jealous” (Nielsen). Mate’s clinginess is revealed when she romanticizes about men and obsesses over them.

The two pairs of grandparents start to fight over this and that’s when Lena realizes they probably think something worse happened. Then, one day Lena walked upon Kostos skinny dipping in the same pond as she did and that’s when she realized it was his hidden place to begin with. Ever since that moment, Lena thinks about him and wishes to apologize. On her last day, she goes down to the blacksmith shop where he works and gives him a painting of the pond, an apology, and a kiss goodbye. In the movie, Lena goes to Greece by herself and falls in love with Kostos off the bat.

In Their Eyes Were Watching God, Janie’s faults made her dependent emotionally towards men, but independent when finding her own happy ending throughout the book. From The Odyssey, Calypso desperately tried to find love and make Odysseus stay, but her flaws of attachment and having a higher level of authority over Odysseus in their relationship kept her from achieving real love with someone. Although Janie and Calypso are opposites when it comes to love, they do have similarities. Their relationships always ended the same way, with Janie leaving her husbands and Calypso being deserted by her lovers. They both tried to to find love, with some difficulties for each women individually.

Don Pedro lacks the time in finding a soulmate because he is so busy finding ones for his best friends. Beatrice often shows that she doesn’t want to be married and could carry her character with dignity without being romantically involved with Benedick. Much Ado About Nothing also portrays Beatrice’s strength through her constant comments on marriage, inequality between men and women in the dueling sphere and how everyone should respond to Claudio’s outrageous accusation. Benedick shows the same type of strength in various ways including the success in the war and respecting the opinions of females in the

In their second meeting, Catherine asks Frederic whether or not he will be good to her, and he thinks to himself, “What the hell” (23). This is just the beginning of their relationship, and Catherine is already developing it into something much more meaningful without Frederic realizing it. Catherine is trying to protect herself from being hurt again and she’s not fooled by his answers, but she accepts them because she knows that the risk is worth it. She believes that she can change his lifestyle and make him into a loyal man like her fiancee once was. Frederic, on the other hand, isn’t ready to commit and thinks that Catherine is crazy, but he’s attracted to her and will say anything he can to sleep with her.

His motives are purely to trick Jane into marrying him even though he is already married. It’s worse than the first lie as this is committing bigamy, which is a crime. Now it’s not all terrible. It can easy to empathize with and see Mr. Rochester’s side, as he can’t get a divorce because his wife is insane. Also, he truly loves Jane, and she loves him too, so he’s not manipulating her into marrying him.

John “had recently married a wife whom he loved more than his life” (Chaucer, “The Miller’s Tale” 35-36). Since this carpenter is the most sentimentally involved with Alisoun, he ends up the most betrayed and embarrassed by her disloyalty.
