The Perfect Love John Chaser

Do you define your love for someone off of how much you think they love you? In Tom and Daisy’s relationship, they love each other, but Tom repeatedly has sexual interactions with other women. In the beginning of The Great Gatsby, Daisy was in love with Gatsby, but when Gatsby left to go into the military and she met Tom during his absence. The above-average man during this time period was able to have affairs with other women and not get called out for it due to the lack of right women had at this time. The wives of these men would stay because that’s the acceptable option to choose for their social class.

Gatsby and Dexter would have done anything for Daisy and Judy. Altogether the stories have a man who is in love with a girl and would do anything for her but they just get hurt in the end from

One of the main themes in At the ‘Cadian Ball is forbidden love because Calixta and Alcée natural love each other, but they cannot be together. For example, the author writes, “There is Bobinôt looking for you. You are going to set poor Bobinôt crazy. You’ll marry him someday; hein, Calixta?” (431). Alcée asks Calixta about marrying Bobinôt because he knows that although he and Caixta have a natural love for each other, they cannot be together because of their societal standards.

This outspokenness is foreign to this time period because women were supposed to be seen and not heard and rarely seen at that. Beatrice shows that she is not constrained by the stiff social conventions that it leads one to believe that Shakespeare found himself averse to having his heroine submit to any form of male superiority. Her eventual decision to become romantically involved was the result of some trickery on the part of some other characters. Furthermore, females were able to speak their minds but their thoughts and ideas were shaped by men as made evident in the case of marriage. Hero had very little say in marrying her father going so far as to plan her wedding date for her.

This is seen in, The Wife of Bath’s Prologue when Chaucer talks about love being mutual respect. He says the ideal marriage is when the patriarchy is flattened. A woman will never really truly love a man until he gives her the freedom to do what she wants to do. Chaucer also shows a woman being equal to her man in, The Wife of Bath, when the wife asks her husband if he would rather have her ugly and loyal or pretty and him always questioning what she was up to. To this, the Knight says, “I leave the matter to your wise decision…Whatever pleases you suffices me.” (lines 377 and

These presumptions of women had been very much portrayed in short story , The Chaser by John Collier, in which a boy name Alan Austen seeks for a love potion from an old man, for a girl he likes name Diana. The short story really showed the judgement of men’s egotistical minds and also their lust in which clearly stated the true colors of what men really think of women. This establishes the stereotypical image of a woman becoming a man’s puppet, and having no voice in what occurs, but to only be there for an egotistical lust of love in a submissive form to fulfill a man 's desire. When looking into the short story, it is evidently seen that Alan says he loves Diana, but she doesn 't even bother to pay attention to him. So rather than try to capture Diana’s attention he undoubtedly goes into controlling her entire self will for his own selfish reasons.

Yunior replaces longing with indifference, family with solitude, feelings with masculinity. While he himself does not recognize these exchanges, Yunior alludes to them throughout his story of wooing girls; what he really desires is to not desire. Contentment, his end goal, can only be reached in his mind by proving himself to the world as the man he aspires to be, not the child who did not want to go visit his aunt with his family. In his story, How to date a brown girl (black girl, white girl, or halfie), Junot Diaz, the author, paints the strange world that some male Dominican teens grow up in. His subtle and overt mentions of race, masculinity, and identity constantly tangle themselves throughout the whole piece.

For example, after the Prince discovers Cinderella, “He [thought] her more beautiful than ever, and a few days later he married her” (602). The Prince barely knows Cinderella, therefore, he cannot be in love with her. His abrupt marriage to Cinderella shows that the Prince is only attracted to Cinderella’s beauty and charm. In addition, Oochigeaskw is described as “…[a] poor little girl in her strange clothes, with her face all scarred, was an awful sight…” (627). The Invisible One did not marry Oochigeaskw for her attractiveness, but because she had the ability to see past someone’s exterior and look at their hearts.

It takes Phil’s female producer Rita, to help him realize the importance of others. He thought it would be a great plan to pretend to be Rita’s ideal perfect man so that he can seduce her. But every time he tries it always fail and end with him being slapped. When he tells her everything that’s been happening to him for the last past same day, she decides to stay with him and I believe at that moment he realizes his self-worth. Rita grew closer to him because of who he was and not who he pretends to be.

These three examples not only show how women were oppressed but that they also have idealized images and expectations to live up too. Moreover, Kate ended up being the only woman who would obey her husband. The only reason she did, however, was so she wouldn’t suffer any more of his mistreatment. The Widow and Bianca, however, believed the expectations they should follow were stupid. This is why they refused to listen to their spouses in the bet.

The painting can stay loyal and not go around flirting with other men; which the real woman did. However, the main object in “To Coy His Mistress” is something a little more real: sex. The speaker hopes that in the end he will have persuaded his lover to have sex with him because he’s earned it. After reading the poem “My Last Duchess”, it is clear that the speaker has no true feelings towards the woman in the poem. In fact, his feelings are directed towards the painting.
