Love Vs Lust

232 Words1 Page

I am writing to ask for your consideration in including my textbook chapter into your relationship textbook titled Current Issues in Relationship Science. I believe that my contribution will fit well within your textbook, as it outlines the main concepts of love and lust. Personally, in my past relationships one issue I faced was defining my feelings towards the other individual. Did I love them, or did I only momentarily desire them? This may be an issue for other individuals as well, as it might be important for them to differentiate between love and lust to find a correct label for their intimate feelings. This chapter, titled Love vs. Lust, outlines the similarities and differences between the two topics, the involvement of brain processes,

  • Romeo And Juliet Dbq Essay

    Even though fate and destiny bear some responsibility for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, the impact love had on their brains is to blame since it possessed them and made them take more risks. When Romeo and Juliet first fell in love with each other, their love possessed them, which influenced them to make the decisions that led to their deaths. For instance, in a TED Talk titled “The Brain in Love,” Helen Fisher explains how romantic love can cause one to lose their “sense of self” and not be able to “stop thinking about another human being” (Doc C). This describes how romantic love can possess one, causing them to make poor decisions they wouldn’t normally make.

    THE COURSE OF LOVE It is generally recognized that the course of love rarely runs smoothly. But it took two university professors to plot the course that love takes in the lives of actual young people. Professors Kirkpatrick and Caplow found that the most usual course of love is one starting with mutual indifference and moving upward through attraction to love, and then either dropping again to indifference, with the broken love affair, or remaining in love at a high level of mutual involvement. One out of every five love affairs studied is irregular in its course, with unpredictable shifts from love to hate to indifference to liking in various combinations throughout the history of the relationship.

    The mind and body are constantly working together making it hard to distinguish where one ends and the other begins. In Leslie Bell’s Hard to Get: Twenty-Something Women and the Paradox of Sexual Freedom she brushes upon the battle between these two as seen with women in society. However, in Barbara Fredrickson’s Love 2.0: How Our Supreme Emotion Affects Everything We Feel, Think, Do, and Become the reader observes how the body reacts to love and creates it in an everyday setting. That is of course, Fredrickson’s own unique definition of love. The two essays intermingle to create an interesting array of possibilities for how we become who we are and what determines it.

  • Compare And Contrast Essay: Erotic Vs. Love

    Man 'yōshū: Erotic vs Love Unlike the conceptions that characterize basic notions of love, erotic love details more on the sexual desire of the body rather than the endearment based on feeling. However this separation between the two, has not always been apparent. Often times in literature of the past where this very distinction between what is erotic versus what is love is frequently considered hard to differentiate due to the vagueness within the way writers wrote the text. When looking at one of Japan’s oldest collections of poetry, the Man 'yōshū (compiled sometime during the eighth century), the relationship between love and erotic love is represented within the feelings portrayed through the author of the poems. One way that love can be distinguished over erotic love is through this notion of longing and waiting for a lover that may never return.

    Romeo professes his love for Juliet after knowing her for less than a day, “Lady, by yonder blessed moon I swear / That tips with silver all these fruit-tree tops--” (2.2.107-108).

Romeo’s impulsive actions can not simply be ignored, he is responsible for his actions. Dr. David Fassler, a psychiatry professor at the University of Vermont College of Medicine with extensive knowledge on brain development, said that, “Research doesn’t absolve teens [From their actions] but offers some explanation for their behavior” (Ritter 1).

  • Hormones In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

    1074 Words  | 5 Pages

    “During the initial stages of love, a teen's body is flooded with testosterone and estrogen. The first stage of love, when testosterone and estrogen levels rise, prompts a teen to start looking for a potential mate” (Coleman). These hormones can make a person decide and discern that they have found their true love and from this, they will make decisions about their future together. The effect hormones have on love is evident in Romeo and Juliet. After knowing Romeo for only a couple hours Juliet states,”Thy purpose marriage, send me word tomorrow, by one that I’ll procure to come to thee, where and what time thou wilt perform the rite; and all my fortunes at thy foot I’ll lay and follow thee my lord throughout the world” (II, II, 144-148).
