The Great Gatsby And Twelfth Night Analysis

  A conception of something in its absolute perfection. The definition is concise, but probably not very clear. It’s not easy to define what “absolute perfection” is, especially because of the free will. The passion between Romeo and Juliet is misinterpreted by the two young lovers as love.

Whether it is unrequited love, love that is lost, or love that could have possibly never been there in the first place. When comparing and contrasting these sonnets and contemporary songs, the reader will get to see love that is hardened by the hardships of infidelities and lies. In these songs and poems, love is a catastrophe that is facing much adversity. In sonnet 147, Shakespeare ended up being so appalled by his love life, that he said her soul was clouded by darkness. In Hold Up, Beyoncé somehow found a way to continue to love her husband, even with all of the grief he has put her through.

Using Sigmund Freud 's work on narcissism, the true nature if the characters of Twelfth Night could be well explored by analyzing the moments of epiphanies. To begin, in Twelfth Night, characters suffer from vanity, a kind of misdirected love. That is, this love is directed toward self rather than toward others. In this manner, vanity deters the process of love.

In the story it grew with love because of three people that were stuck with a love triangle, but with every situation they had it would end with radiant laughter. The plot of the story wasn’t clear to understand because it would leave parts out of the story. The story was hard to catch on because the story moves on to fast both movie and written version. As said in Twelfth Night “Its central plot concerns a love triangle….Twelfth Night have tended to focus on the drama 's captivating characters as well as on its themes of love.”

After Romeo asks Friar Lawrence to marry himself and Juliet, Romeo is highly ecstatic, translating to the mood of Mercutio. Contently, Mercutio teases “Why, is not this better now than groaning for love? ... for this drivelling love is like a great natural that runs lolling up and down to hide his bauble…” (2.4.80-84). Shakespeare uses a simile to compare Romeo looking for love to a fool trying to hide his jester stick, proving that the static character of Romeo is enamoured again.

Romeo is influenced by his desires and passions when it comes to romance, while Lady Capulet has come to accept love and marriage as responsibilities, rather than something driven by her own wants. Romeo is a lovesick adolescent who is more in love with the idea of romance than the actual girl herself. However, after facing rejection, he thinks of love as a disease that has overtook him. Romeo is in love with love. When he finds someone he loves, he dedicates all his time and energy into it and forgets everything else.

Shakespeare could have intentionally make jealously related to tragedy. In this paragraph I am going to talk about how Iago manipulated

The quote from Sigmund Freud, “One is very crazy when in love.” is very relateable to Shakespeare's play A Midsummer Night's Dream. Love is the dominant theme of the play. With the major conflicts surrounding the topic of love. Shakespeare demonstrates two major types of love.

They are the perfect example of difficulty of love, that is, passionate circumstances in which an injustice or discrepancy interferes in the consistency of the engagement. Finally, the habitual happy end in comedies is produced, although they have had problems to achieve it like the love potion; the second are Demetrius and Helena. Their relationship has evolved during the play. At first, Demetrius is in love with Hermia, but it is at the end when his love for Helena appears. However, Helena has been always in love with him.

Mercutio is a foil to Romeo and makes Romeo’s view of love stand out to the readers, by showing his own opinions of love. Mercutio believes that “dreamers often lie” (1.4.56) and lovers dream of love. This shows that Mercutio thinks that love is just an illusion, this contradicts the views of Romeo and Juliet who believe they are deeply in love. By putting these two characters by each other, the reader can clearly see their different views. Mercutio also is used for comic relief.

Holden is infatuated by, not in love with, this girl he meets at the lavender room of the Edmont Hotel. This is another mistake he makes. Love and infatuation are both intense emotions that one feels for another person. These feelings are often confused for one other by many people, but the two feelings differ in their actuality of love, intensity and final outcome. Infatuation is the state of being completely carried away by unreasoning passion or love; addictive love.

Benvolio: Out of her favor. (1.1.163-166) In the play, Romeo was experiencing a one sided love, and to protect his heart, Benvolio told Romeo to look for a new companion. Though this may be a heartfelt and sad scene, Shakespeare used the pun to inject humor.

Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, is a classic story about love, one of the most confusing yet cherished feelings people have. As Romeo says in Act I, scene 1, “Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs; being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers’ eyes.” Why we have these feelings, we don’t know. Some say love is not even real.

According to Jamieson “Shakespeare’s treatment of love in the play is complex and multifaceted. He uses love in its many guises to thread together the key relationships in the play” (Lee 1). First, we see Romeo is in love with Rosaline in the beginning of the play. In today society we might describe it as “Puppy Love.” Laurence did not believe it will last long: Romeo says “Thou chid’st me oft for loving Rosaline” and Laurence replies “For doting, not for loving, pupil mine” (Shakespeare 11.iii.).

The movie version of The Great Gatsby and the novel had few minor changes. The setting of the movie and book were the same Long Island, New York. The character that was left out from the movie was Dan Cody, Gatsby’s made up millionaire. One of the biggest change I saw in the movie was that Gatsby never revealed his real name to Nick, while in the book he tells Nick that his name is James Gats. Also, in the movie when Gatsby invites Nick, he assumed that he meant Gatsby, as seen in the book Nick talks to Gatsby but doesn’t know that his talking to Gatsby.
