The novel is narrated by the cagey and hopeful Nick Carraway as he bares witness to many love triangles and dangerous liaisons. Every relationship in the
Just as any other word, Love is a series of letters cluttered together. In fact without human connotation, words would be just another scribble to fill paper with. So why then, is love considered a sacred commitment shared between a pair of souls? Many believe that the significance of the word Love dates back to the Grecian and Christian era.

Gerhard the Greek and Monica the Emoter are both right in what they believe and should not discredit the other’s belief. Gerhard believes that understanding the past and what the original language is saying will help us understand what the authors meant to say and how they meant it to be interpreted.
