Joyce Carol Oates uses powerful imagery in the short story, such as the idea of love, dishonest smile, and Connie’s dissociative state. In the idea of love, she uses vivid language to explain Connie’s daydream. The actual desires where not yet tied to concrete the acts or a specific man. Connie’s is being attracted to the idea of love and sex confusing fantasy and reality. The author helps the reader to visualize on how girl’s discrete experiences fading into a deeper impulse. Connie being in the puberty is being pulled by natural forces by the desired that she is not conscious about it and doesn’t have an explanation for it. Another language that Oates uses is she focus on Arnold Friend physical. Connie got to recognized most of the things about him since the moment she met him. Words like thighs and buttocks were mention to show his sexual nature. Arnold friend smile was emphasized as a slippery friendly smile in other words as a dreamy smile. Oates used this term to communicate with Connie to entangle her and easily get her. Finally, she also describes Connie beating heart, this help Connie express her dissociative state. She felt isolated with her physical body, which it perceived it wasn’t really her either. The state of separation she was feeling demonstrate how she was slipping out of control over her own actions and decisions she was making. At…
"Love and The Goddess," the fifth episode of Joseph Campbell's video "The Power of myth," talks about theories of love and of myths of the "Goddess". Joseph Campbell stats out talking on love. Campbell states, " The heart is the organ of opening up to somebody else. That’s the human quality, as opposed to the animal qualities, which have to do with, primarily with self-interest,". Which I believe means that we as humans are very primal, we focus on our self preservation. It is normally about how us as individuals can get ahead in life with little concern for others. Though with out heart, our conscious heart that is, we have a need to have a connection with someone.This "heart" compels us to place the needs of loved ones before our own, to do everything we can to keep the…
Companionship and love, although both present in Sappho and the Epic of Gilgamesh, had differing views encased in opposite ends of the spectrum demonstrations of love. The materialism and emotions revealed within the texts, illuminates the view of rationality and irrationality of love. If we consider how the gods attributed to this view, the problems of accuracy in the portrayal of love can be resolved. The Epic of Gilgamesh illuminates how cold and rigid of an incorrect view Ishtar has on love in contrast to Sappho's more accurate view. This can be seen through how love was received and demonstrated within the text itself.…
Love is a powerful word. It has been told that through love, you can conquer all things. Like Odysseus, who traveled for years, for miles, and would endure any pain for the love of his family. Odysseus and Penelope had a very strong connection and marriage compared to others whom lived in this era. An era in which the definition of marriage was not one that we are quite used to. People of this age did not marry someone because they necessarily “loved” their spouse- but for the other things that the man or woman would bring to the table. Women looked for a suitor who would bring in the best gifts along with someone that would take care of the household. Men sought out for a certain reputation. They compete for the one they had laid eyes on by…
Love seemed to be a reoccurring theme throughout the play, but it was most impactful in Haimon’s love for Antigone. Some might argue that he only desired to marry his betrothed wife, but I believe it was for love. Even in his final seconds of breath, “Haimon lay beside hers,…
The girl in this story is very intrigued by the boy, as so is the boy with the girl. Waiting and waiting for weeks to see each other again, causes kind of suspense of love. As the author said, “She loved him at exactly that moment, and if he’d known this perhaps, he wouldn’t have fallen into the brown depression he fell into, which lasted the rest of his shift.” This shows irony of not talking to her, it is basically love at first sight. This was the plot of the story and the mood and tone show a good perception of how the girl and boy feel about each other. This was the rising action of the story.…
In the beginning of this novel, Celie is a young and naive adolescent. She is victimized by her step-father who rapes and impregnates her repeatedly. Her letters to God are her only escape. She hides inside herself. Scared, she writes, “I am fourteen years old. I am I have always been a good girl. Maybe you can give me a sign letting me know what is happening to me.” (1) She looks to God for support. “...long as I can spell G-o-d I got somebody along.” (26) A few years later, Celie is forced to marry a vicious man who beats her, forces her to have sex, and treats her like a slave. She is completely powerless and passive to those who abuse her. As her life progresses, she goes through a radical change. Her husband, whom she calls Mr. ___, intentionally keeps Celie separated from the only person that she loves, her sister Nettie. When Celie discovers that he has been hiding letters from Nettie for several years, she wakes up and wants to kill him. This gives Celie the ability to express her anger. “I curse you... Until you do right by me, everything you touch will crumble... Everything you even dream about will fail... Every lick you hit me you will suffer twice, I say.” (187) She finally becomes expressive. A recurring theme in the novel is that finding a voice is essential when building one’s own…
I believe that the author choose to have the narrator as a young child because child because children are seen as innocent. This way, the child is only accustom to what she has grown up in. She has only ever known the difference between the French and the English, and has always wanted to feel…
The main character is the narrator who is a young boy. He is in love with an older girl and is blinded by his age. He doesn’t understand how the world really works. He had never spoken to the girl until one day Andre has the chance and he immediately promises to bring her something back from the bazaar. He says, “if I go,’ I said, ‘I’ll bring you something.’(Joyce, paragraph 4). As he promised he waited for the day to come, he was impatient with everyone around him because all he wanted was to go to the bazaar. His quest was to go to the bazaar and get the a gift for the girl he loves. However, through the story it’s revealed that he has an attachment to materialistic things. For example, he need money to buy the present, the present it’s self show his attachment to the materialistic items. As the story continues he ends up being late to the bazaar and it was closing up. He stops at a stand and he looked desperately for a decent gift that she would want, “ I lingered before her stall, though I knew my stay with useless, to make my interest in her wares seemed more real.” (Joyce, paragraph 3). Him not finding a present good enough shows how he doesn't really know her, he just want to impress her. l In the end he states, “waiting up into the darkness I saw myself as a teacher driven and derided by vanity; and my eyes burned with anguish and anger.” (Joyce, paragraph 4). This is his epiphany he realizes that he was dreaming about being with this girl, he had no chance of being with her. As the lights went out at the bazaar so did the light of…
Before modern time the idea of marrying for love was discouraged. Men and women participated in arranged marriages or married for reasons of practicality rather than affection. Some considered marital love a hindrance to more valued relationships between family and god; whereas in modern time it is expected that you put your spouse before any other family member or obligation. Although some cultures believed that love would develop after marriage, it was not a requirement for a successful marriage as it is today; the measurement of a successful marriage then was financial prosperity and healthy children.…
“The greatest thing in life is love, and be loved in return” (Eden Ahbez). “Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things” (Cor 13:7). Love also influences all things. It is a powerful force that drives people to do things they would normally not do.
