After watching the movie “It’s Complicated” many of John Alan Lee’s Six types of love were recognized. Jake and Jane was one couple that I noticed who displayed Lee’s love types. One type that they displayed was Ludus: flirtatious and fun. Jane and Jake seemed very playful, flirtatious, carefree, and casual, which according to our text describes this love style very well. This couple was more carefree at first but as the movie continued on they seemed to put more thought into what they were doing. These two also displayed the Ludus style by having fun and by being easy-going with their situation.
Another style that I thought Jake and Jane displayed portions of was Manic: Frenzied and Chaotic. This particular style of love by Lee is similar to a roller-coaster according to our text. Within this style there are amounts of jealousy, protectiveness and envy. Jake showed jealousy when he was snooping around the house and peeking in the

Patience, Kindness and performance is how Lee describes this style of love. Adam was the one who performed this style more than Jane but in return, Adam demonstrated this style by being very patient with Jane when she forgot about their appointments and when she was chaotic in her lifestyle. Jane did not expect anything in return from Adam in their relationship making her kind and selfless.
The Love Economic Model, founded by Chau Vuong, is based on the assumption that people are able to weigh both the benefits and the costs of falling and being in love (Welch, 196) and relates to the couples in the video in many ways. Each couple demonstrated the benefits of love and also the costs of love. Jane was the best character who demonstrated the needs of the Love Economic Model by going to see her therapist and by weighing her list of reasons why her and her ex husband were having an affair, it was a great example of how this model can be used in real situations in
middle of paper ... ... The Agape love style shows unselfish concern along with physical sacrifice and nurturing for others. Nowhere in either of these two relationships could it be said that there was an Agape love style shown. In truth, it appears that no relationships that occurred in Random Family, whether it be with a significant other or within a family unit itself, had the aspects of an Agape style love in them.
A developed relationship can be interpreted as one where the couple is interdependent, tolerant, and dedicated. Equity allows a relationship to efficiently develop in this manner. Judith Viorst illustrates a poem depicting a couple’s struggles and their sacrifices for the other in “True Love”. In many points of the poem, the couple is compromising for the other’s flaws in order to avoid unnecessary conflicts. “I do not resent watching the Green Bay Packers / Even though I am philosophically opposed to football” (Stanza 1) is an example of the wife forcing herself

It is said that Millay's later work is more of a mirror image of her life. This particular poem was written 1931, when she was thirty-nine. Unlike some of her earlier work this is not a humorous poem. It is very deep and meaningful.
Psychologist Robert Sternberg developed the "Triangular Theory of Love" which defines the three components of love needed for a "perfect" relationship as commitment, passion, and intimacy (companionship) (Wikipedia). "The amount of love one experiences depends on the absolute strength of these three components, and the type of love one experiences depends on their strengths relative to each other" (Wikipedia). In Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, she introduces five couples which enter into marriages in all different types of love. Mr. and Mrs. Bennet have an infatuated love that fades to no love at all, Charlotte and Mr. Collins enter into an empty love, Lydia and Mr. Wickham fall into a fatuous love, Jane and Mr. Bingley focus on a companionate love, and finally, Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy find an all consummate love for each other. Throughout the novel, Austen uses these five variations of love to employ characters and define their futures.
... influential on a person’s life may be the reason why it is so widely used as that subject or theme of every kind of art. Romance, which is the emotional attachment between to people who love each other, is a common way that artist can visually demonstrate love in their artwork. Although the materials and colors have a lot to do with the visual aspect of demonstrating love in art work, the aspect of love that art work shows as well as the history behind the piece its self can cause the artwork to not only be about love, but also about the romance in love. Many would agree that LOVE and The Kiss both demonstrate love, however, The Kiss is more romantic out of the two.
Love is a concept that has puzzled humanity for centuries. This attachment of one human being to another, not seen as intensely in other organisms, is something people just cannot wrap their heads around easily. So, in an effort to understand, people write their thoughts down. Stories of love, theories of love, memories of love; they all help us come closer to better knowing this emotional bond. One writer in particular, Sei Shōnagon, explains two types of lovers in her essay "A Lover’s Departure": the good and the bad.
Unlike Robert Sternberg’s Triangular Theory of Love, Fromm’s theory is derived from a humanistic approach explained through five different types of love: motherly love (one-sided and unequal), brotherly love (loving all), erotic love (intimate but short lived), immature love (overwhelming), and mature love (mutual and caring). Motherly love is a one-sided and unequal or unconditional love commonly given by mother to her younger child which gives the child a sense of stability and security . Brotherly love is a type of love where an individual loves all. Opposite of brotherly love is erotic love which the individual focuses on loving one individual in a sexual way, this is short-lived. This type of love is comparable to the passion, intense romantic or sexual desire that is accompanied by physiological arousal in Sternberg’s theory of love. Immature love is when receiving love or taking love overwhelms the giving of love. Lastly, mature love, is described as love in which both partners share mutual care and responsibility for each other and both individuals are able to love each other freely. Mature love is achieved when both individual’s personalities are capable of giving true, genuine love (Friedman & Schustack, 2013). Mature love is also comparable to consummate love (Myers, 2013) in Sternberg’s theory of love. Fromm’s theory of love does not just emphasize
As shown in Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre, love can often lead to a life of anguish; even so, the experience is worth the pain. Jane’s adoration for both Mr. Rochester and Helen helped her grow as a person; they gave her hope for a brighter future. When her faith is at its climax, she loses them and is forced to endure the agony of resentment, regret, and solitude. Even so, love is a powerful emotion that can influence anyone given time and devotion and it should be cherished, appreciated and pursued no matter the consequences or the reprecussions.
On the other side, “Love Poem” is very different from the previous poem. This seven stanza poem is based on a man describing the imperfections of his lover. In this, the speaker uses stylistic devices, such as alliteration and personification to impact more on reader, for example as the speaker shows “your lipstick ginning on our coat,”(17) ...
George Herbert’s poem ‘Love (III),’ published posthumously in a collection of his works entitled The Temple, centres around a dialogue between two characters. The characters are that of Love and an unnamed speaker, who most likely represents Herbert himself. Love, an abstract principle, is here the personification of God and exists as a tangible entity. In ‘Love (III),’ Love is acting as host to the unknown guest, who henceforth will be called the guest. This essay will discuss the poem’s argument, as well as the language and literary techniques Herbert utilises to reinforce his argument.
“A Midsummer Night’s Dream” is a play based on a romantic love story. In this play, there are several types of love displayed between several of the main characters in the play. One of the most famous quotes from the play was by Lysander and it was “The course of true love never did run smooth” (Act 1, Scene 1). This meant that with any type of love, a person will experience its ups and downs, they will agree to disagree, but more importantly, love is unpredictable. Parenteral love, forced love, and true love are 3 types of love displayed/expressed in the play “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”
This theory involves three different dimensions which include passion, intimacy, and commitment. When combined in different ways, these dimensions show different kinds of love. The different forms of love discussed in our text are infatuation, affectionate love, fatuous love, and consummate love. In my own life I have only experienced a couple different forms of the love that Sternberg describes. The two forms that I know I have experienced are affectionate love and infatuation. Consummate love is a type of love that I have never experienced. I hope to one day reach consummate love with someone and spend the rest of my life with him. I realize that not everyone gets to experience that kind of love, but I’m hopeful
