As stated by Ed Sheeran, “Loving can hurt, loving can hurt sometimes. But it’s the only thing that I know. When it gets hard, you know it can get hard sometimes. But it is the only thing that makes us feel alive,” love is like a torrent of darkness that hurt, or it can be a ribbon of rest that can heal. Love is like the branch of the two sides, where alleviation or devastation can be reveal. Likewise, Alfred Noyes’ written poem “The Highwayman” and Tobias Miller’s dramatization “The Highway Man (Original with Poem)” both depicted love as a powerful emotion through their poetic languages, style, and events. The poem “The Highwayman demonstrated the vengeful power of love through Tim’s shoes and illustrates how it can affect his emotion. On the other hand, the dramatization, “The Highway Man (Original with Poem)” depicted love as a powerful and eternal promotion that will heal one’s …show more content…
Through the eyes of Tim, the text stated, “But he loved the Landlord’s daughter, the landlord’s red-lipped daughter,” to show Tim’s ambition toward the Bess, the Landlord’s daughter. According to the text, Tim loved Bess, but the love was never returned back to him. Therefore, as shown in the text, “Where Tim the ostler listened. His face was white and peaked. His eyes were hollows of madness… Dumb as a dog he listened and he heard the robber say—‘One kiss, my bon sweetheart,” Tim became vengeful once his discovers that Bess loved someone else. His heart and soul was driven to insanity as he seeks for vengeance because his love had rejected him for another man. Soon after, Tim vengeance lead the redcoats to attack Bess home and set her as bait in the statement, “They tied her up to attention, with many a sniggering jest.” In the end Bess ultimately died because of Tim’s vengeance for the highwayman. Therefore, the video differs from the written poem because the poem demonstrates love as
The eyes are said to be the window to the soul, and often give away one’s emotions and feelings in times of discomfort and longing. When Gatsby and Daisy reconnect for the first time in five years, their eyes portray their intense pain as they reminisce on their past and what they used to have. The meeting is intended to be a happy, romantic reunion; however, Gatsby and Daisy end up “looking conscientiously from one to the other with tense, unhappy eyes” (Fitzgerald 87).
The movie and the book “Big Driver” by Stephen King are very similar to each other. It is difficult to spot the differences. The movie/book is about a woman named Tess, she is a well-known writer. She went a reading/signing for her books and got told to try a new route home, because it would take ten miles off her drive. She put the address into her gps and started her way back home. She started to drive through an area that was not very populated and in the middle of the road were pieces of wood with nails in it. Tess did not see the wood, and hit one and the nail went right into her tire giving her a flat. She pulled over and looked, so she then realized she needed help. She stood by the road waiting for people to pass, when this man started to pass her and realized she was flagging him down. He pulled over and she asked if he could change her tire, and he replied he wouldn’t mind helping. He went to start changing the tire and turned and said, “why don’t I fuck you instead,” which he then began raping her, dragged her body into a tunnel and left. She woke up under water and realized she was alive and needed to get out. Tess walked on the side of the road until she found a gas station to use a phone. She found a phone and called for a ride home and started to plan her revenge to find out who he was and what she was going to
Is a drive just a drive, or is it a metaphor that imparts appreciation for life's fragility while simultaneously lamenting man's inability to appropriately confront, or understand, death? William Stafford's "Traveling Through the Dark" illustrates the mechanisms by which seemingly mundane events become probes into the mystery and ambiguity of the human condition.
“I believe that we are solely responsible for our choices, and we have to accept the consequences of every deed, word, and thought throughout our lifetime” Elisabeth Kubler-Ross.
“Thin Between Love and Hate” is a popular 1970’s song that highlights the possibility of caring for someone one minute and suddenly disliking them the next minute because of an intense situation. This song relates to enjoyment and stupidity in life because a person can have the tendency to want to have fun but end up taking imprudent and hazardous steps in order to fulfill their amusement. “Death of an Innocent” written by Jon Krakauer features the unpredictable events that result from the radical acts of an individual named Chris McCandless. Chris McCandless’ wilderness expeditions transfigured him into an imbecile because he demonstrated signs of being overconfident, negligent, and stubborn.
The stylistic choices an author makes when writing has a huge impact on the mood and atmosphere of the piece created. Take, for example, Cormac Mcarthy’s The Road, and Gregory Robert’s Shantaram. The two incredible novels are in many ways similar, however also very different due to a different writing styles.
The Sonnet by Edna St. Vincent Millay, “Love is Not All” demonstrates an unpleasant feeling about the knowledge of love with the impression to consider love as an unimportant element that does not worth dying for; the poem is a personal message addressing the intensity, importance, and transitory nature of love. The poet’s impression reflects her general point of view about love as portrays in the title “Love is Not All.” However, the unfolding part of the poem reveals the sarcastic truth that love is important.
Whether Donne wrote his poem for his wife or just touched a universal theme for of us to learn from, the huge apparent differences bring the mortal love between the speaker and his lady to a level of perfection and no journey can ever break that.
In order to completely grasp exactly how the old maid appears to the woman on the sidewalk and the love she feels for the man walking with her, Sara Teasdale uses personification to describe the characters in the poem. One would be, “Her soul was frozen in the dark/ Unwarmed forever by love’s flame.” Obviously, a person’s soul cannot be frozen, but the meaning is that the old maid had never felt a heated intensity between herself and someone special to her which could give her a cold outlook on life. Another time the poet uses personification is when the speaker states, “His eyes were magic to defy”. Eyes cannot be magic. By saying that his eyes were magic the reader can get the notion that when the speaker looks into the eyes of her lover she feels awed, happy, or even entranced. Sara Teasdale also uses a metaphor in her work, “Her body was a thing growing thin,” In that line the speaker is comparing the old maid’s draining body to something that can get thinner. The poet uses a rhyme scheme of rhyming the second with the fourth line and there are four lines in every stanza. Finally, in this narrative poem there are eight syllables per line of the poem.
Sappho, who is very well the speaker and author of the poem, clearly recognizes the substantial impact that love creates in relation to the amount of happiness people experience. Those who are successful in the game love, whether it be by giving it or receiving it, are far happier than those who confront despair and rejection. Finding love means finding the acceptance, companionship, and most of all, happiness that everyone strives to receive in their lifetime. As a result, love becomes a weapon for power, superiority, and control.
Love is something that no one can understand completely, but there is one thing that can be universally accepted: love creates a lot of feelings. Some are painful and mysterious, but some are loving and warm. The poems, "Sonnet 18," and "I Am Offering this Poem," demonstrates how the speakers similarly present their love through imagery, symbolism, and tone to show how they truly love their loved ones. Those feelings are so common these two poems are just some of the infinite amoount of poems that express these similar feeling of love: warmth, addiction, and affection. Love comes in many different ways, but the feelings are relatively similar.
Love and Hate are powerful emotions that influence and control how we interact with people. To express this influence and control and the emotions associated with love and hate, for instance, joy, admiration, anger, despair, jealousy, and disgust, author's craft their writing with literary elements such as as structure, figurative language, imagery, diction, symbolism, and tone. Poems in which these can be seen present are “My Papa’s Waltz” by Theodore Roethke, “My Last Duchess” by Robert Browning, and “Sonnet 130” by William Shakespeare. Within “My Papa’s Waltz” a mighty love is seen between the father and son. To express this Roethke uses figurative language, symbolism and diction. Within “My Last Duchess” there is little love, but an ample hate towards the duchess from the Duch. To express this the
“The Street of the Cañon” is located in a small town in San Juan Iglesias at a girl’s 18 year old birthday party. Josephina Niggli, the author, explained the idea that young love can break down the boundaries of previous hatred. “The Highwayman” is located in a mysterious hotel with the idea of forbidden love between the characters, Bess and the Highwayman. Alfred Noyes, the author, explained the idea that love is stronger than death. Since the short stories, “The Street of the Cañon” and “The Highwayman” are both about love, character, setting, and style influence the ways that the audience looks at each story.
He explains that his disease makes all his senses and especially his hearing, very sensitive as well as acute. The narrator then informs the readers of the events in his past to prove that he isn’t mad. He tells the readers that he loves the old man and has nothing against him, except the old man’s “pale blue eye, with a film over it” (Poe). The narrator explains how he hates the evil eye and whishes to kill the old man, so that he could be free from the eye. He goes on to say that for seven nights he would go to the old man’s room and watch him sleep, but on the eighth night, the old man wakes from hearing the narrator enter the room and from the shadows the narrator sees the evil eye prompting him to kill the old man. When the policeman come to the house, the narrator convents them that nothing bad has happened but because he was feeling confident he invites the policeman to the room to chat. All seems well until the narrator starts to hear the beating of a heart and freaks out and confesses that he murdered the old man. The story is littered with creepy symbols, horrific themes, and psychological effects of guilt and sin that embodies the Dark Romantic style shown through the insane nameless narrator who seeks to kill the old man with the evil
Upon reading Erich Fromm’s The Art of Loving, I gained a better understanding of what love really is. Fromm’s book puts love into perspective. He begins with several facts with regards to the attitude in which people treat love. They are the problems of how to be loved, the object to love as well as the confusion between the initial experience of falling in love and the permanent state of being in love, which had a great impact on me, as far as thinking about what love is.
