Introduction

Romance is the intimate expression of emotional attraction and affection that usually associated with love through gestures, words or a heartfelt communication. The origin of love and romance is murky. However, the Greeks are known to have described the different kinds of love. The word eros was used to imply carnal love while agape was used to describe spiritual love. Romance has its roots in medieval chivalry, which pervades many of today’s courting rituals such as opening the door, pulling the chair or buying dinner for a woman. Today, romantic gestures are best seen in the context of courtship and ...

A romantic author is one who intertwines the power of emotions and psychological needs of human beings which not only satisfies the much needed appreciation and emotional pleasure but also keeps them motivated throughout their experience of reading the romantic novel. The following thought by Ramsdell echoes with the idea above “Contemporary romance novels usually focus on the attempts of the characters to find success and fulfillment, professionally, personally and romantically” (47). Hence the creation of such work which has the potential of providing all the above requisites to the readers becomes imperative on part of the romantic author.

Human beings as fans of outside work is nothing new: although modern society has the technology that allows large groups of these fans to gather, there is no doubt that fandom has been around a very long time. In fact, in Don Quixote—a novel written in two separately-published parts—the author had to write in a character who was initially created by a fan of the first part of the novel (Harris and Alexander 1998). This fan-made character then denounced his claim to being the true Don Quixote, and the novel meanders on—however, this is just one ...

In the novel Oryx and Crake by the author Margaret Atwood, the author should have focused more on the two characters Oryx and Crake as the title depicts. Instead, the whole novel is centered on one character Jimmy or rather Snowman. The story is seen as being told through the vantage point of one character as memories of events that happened in his life, this story is centered on human nature in the phase of scientific developments (Tolan 294). The story should have been written in a first-hand experience of events as they happen. The characters Oryx and Crake ...

The article “Get a life” by Jenkins talks about two major issues that artist go through in their lives with their fans who see them through their live performances and also through reading. The fans who watch the plays performed by the artists do at times get addicted to the fantasy created through the plays. The addiction at times gets to a new level where the fans feel that they deserve to get emotionally attached to the artists as opposed to just remaining as passive fanatics (Lawrence and Jewett, 1977, p. 5-6). Apart from that, there are those fans ...

In much of modern publishing history, particularly as it pertains to children's literature, there has been a significant movement toward marketing childrens' books for particular, gendered audiences. There are "boys' books" and "girls' books", each with their own emphases and particular genres. Boys' books tend to be adventures complete with violence, while girls' books are more fully centered on romance. However, despite these distinctions, I do not feel quantifying these books as being appropriate for a particular gender over another is wise or appropriate; children's literature on the whole has a great capacity for being palatable and enjoyable for both sexes, as ...

Marriage is an essential component of many societies, as it involves the union between two people in love with one another who would eventually create a family. As a form of social organization, marriage has become the subject of several controversies, with some outside of the purpose of romantic union. Notable pieces of literature attest to that fact, and this study aims to construct an analysis between two literary works – The Story of an Hour by Kate Chopin and A Marriage Proposal by Anton Chekhov, with both literary works establishing that marriage, as a social practice, has found associations with ...

William Shakespeare was born on April 23rd, 1564 in a small town Stratford-upon-Avon. Shakespeare was a great English dramatist, poet and actor. He was often called the English national poet, and a lot of people agree with me that he also was the greatest dramatist of all time.

The first time we hear about Shakespeare as a writer was in 1592, in a Robert Greene’s pamphlet “On mad penny bought a million ...

Comparison of Themes of Marital and Romantic Relationships in Two Stories

The present age tends to dichotomise romance and family. Doris Lessing’s short story “To Room Nineteen” portrays a free-spirited Englishwoman who made the mistake of signing up for the life of a full-time housewife. Ernest Hemingway’s “Hills Like White Elephants,” set in Spain, depicts the scepticism and xenophobia of a young woman whose American lover importunes for abortion. Both these women are disillusioned with romance with which they began. Susan Rawlings in Lessing’s story does not care for material security which her promiscuous husband provides. Hemingway’s Jig fears she is taken for a ride when ...

The Roman Empire began with the rule of Augustus Caesar in 31 BCE and by 285 AD during the reign of Diocletian it was divided into an Eastern and Western Empire. In 476 AD the Western Empire ended when King Odoacer deposed of Romulus Augustulus. This left only the Eastern Empire, known as the Byzantine Empire which lasted until the death of Constantine XI and the siege of Constantinople by the Turks in 1453. Despite the Roman Empire being gone for nearly 600 years, their influence still remains in many aspects of modern society such as Architecture, Art, Government ...

Introduction

The “Courtly love” described by Andreas Capellanus is an “instructional” manual on love and romance between a man and a woman. It consists of three books that address the etymology of love, dialogues between a man and a woman of different social classes and instructions on how the romantic process should unfold between people of different social classes (Andreas). The love described in the story between Heloise and Abelard is of a different nature. The discussions between Heloise and Abelard are less about romance and courtship and more about exchanging ideas on the role of women in society, religion, and the running of monasteries ...

Latin became the language of Roman Imperial power and therefore all the land and peoples were familiar with the common form of ancient Latin after they were conquered by Roman military force. The question is - Why from all the languages did Latin become so popular. On the one hand Latin was the official language of the Roman bureaucracy. On the other hand a less formal Latin was used by the soldiers who conquered different regions and because some of them stayed to marry local women and raise their family, the military helped spread Latin. Latin carried ...

The types of fiction created by writers sometimes appear to fall into endless categories; walking through a bookstore or browsing sites like Amazon for a new book to read demonstrates the variety of fiction written today. However, it is not so difficult to classify writers and the type of fiction they produce. Fiction writers fall into two groups, commercial writers and literary writers.
The first major category of fiction writers are the commercial fiction writers. Commercial fiction writers “attract a broad audience” with their published pieces and a hallmark of commercial fiction is that it has an easily read style accessible to ...

When people think of Egypt, most often they imagine some very romantic things. Not “romance” in the sense of love, but romance in the sense of the fanciful, the exotic, the golden ancient Gods and Goddesses, the Pharaohs, Queens, and wonders of the world like the pyramids. I had a chance to spend a month in Egypt, and I discovered the basis of this romance, but the lesson I learned that was most memorable was about life and what it really means.

Written in 1759, Voltaire’s Candide is an adventure novel that tracks the life of Candide, an innocent boy who is desperately in love with a girl. However, this love story is unusual in that Candide embarks on a number of journeys and faces tough situations, and all underneath a satiric writing style. Candide teases the archetypal coming-of-age novel and particularly literature’s representation of romantic love. As Nelly Severin points out: ‘Some critics have seen in Candide a parody of “romance” and Voltaire certainly used an array of “romance” commonplaces, such as shipwrecks, pirates, bastard births, abductions and ...

Mary Shelley’s famous work, "Frankenstein," marked the beginning of the whole new genre of literature, science fiction. Studying the critique of this work of Walter Scott and Sherry Ginn, the reader comes to the same conclusion with the critics: this book is extraordinary in nature and it is unlikely that before "Frankenstein" there was something like the work of Shelley. Although both of the above critics write about different aspects of "Frankenstein", though, Scott and Ginn agree on the fact that Shelley has created something truly new, what does not fit into neither autobiographical work, nor fiction, nor ...

The thrillers of Alfred Hitchcock have not been strangers to unconventional protagonists – from Vertigo’s cowardly, power-hungry Scottie Thompson to Rear Window’s incapacitated paranoiac LB Jeffries, to the hapless journalists and playboys of his early British spy capers like Foreign Correspondent and The Lady Vanishes. Part of the thrill of Hitchcock’s thrillers is seeing a clear sense of comedy and irreverence mingling evenly with the serious, atmospheric cinematography of his films. North by Northwest is no exception, mining comedy out of an otherwise highly tense spy thriller through the haplessness of his protagonist, ad executive Roger Thornhill (Cary ...

Chaucer’s “The Canterbury Tales” is a selection of stories that pilgrims use to tell stories that occurred as they traveled to a holy shrine in Canterbury. At first reading, “The Miller’s Tale” and “The Knight’s Tale” appear inconsistent and incomparable. Nevertheless, a closer reading of the two stories shows that the both stories are similar. The elements in the “The Miller’s Tale” reflects those in “The Knight’s Tale”. Arguably, the characters’ identities are different, yet the romance in both tales remains the same to an extent. In essence, the characters are basically the same in the two ...

Introduction

The Canterbury tales are a compilation of 20 stories written by Geoffrey Chaucer. The tales cover different themes written in the Middle English language of the 14th century. Most of the tales were written in parts. The manner in which Geoffrey Chaucer describes the characters as well as the incorporation of elements such as sarcasm and irony portrays a critic of the English society, specifically the church (Ackroyd, Peter & Chaucer 2). This essay explores two of the Canterbury tales: “The Clerks Tale” and “The Franklin’s Tale”. The aim of the essay is to provide the similarities and the differences between ...

Whether or not a film remains as true to the novel as possible or far it deviates from the original has been argued by critics and audiences for a century now. There are many major differences between Jane Austen’s book Pride and Prejudice and the 2005 film adaptation that starred Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Bennet. The book, published in 1813, was intended as a satire and a comedy of manners. The film released in 2005 was a full-blown romance. The time period is different. Much of the dialog is different. In fact, aside from the names and some of the classic lines from ...

Bob Marley’s music has had a tremendous influence on all who have had the honor of discovering it. The man, himself, was a trailblazer for the reggae genre and deserves a place amongst fellow musical trailblazers of the past, such as Elvis, the Beatles, and Chuck Berry in their own respective genres. But why is music so important to us, why are we not satisfied with visual, more tangible forms of art? What is it about the sound of music that has such an intoxicating effect on our psyches? Art itself can be understood as an expression of one’s experience ...

In the essay we shall be discussing facts from the film, Casablanca that suggest that it is more of a love and romantic story than it has been thought to be otherwise.

The aspect of love and romance has been revealed in certain instances such as sacrifice and desperation because of love. The plot has been set in a country and place that was considered a haven for both refugees and foreigners. ...

The 1939 film Gone with the Wind is often considered an American classic - its epic scope and sweeping romance granted the film ten Academy Awards, also being nominated for Best Original Score. Despite being a representation of a historical setting, the film itself seems to romanticize the South in a way that real history reveals it does not warrant; the privilege that Scarlett receives as a rich white woman, and the ways in which she uses it (and how she is ultimately undermined by a powerful, masculine man) are not given the criticism this topic may deserve. I think the film should have ...

The medieval world conceived of itself and its universe as “a great chain of being” which was bound together by “love, also called caritas or charity.” This was a spiritualized sense of love, and was distinguished from amor – “the love of things of this world.” When human romantic love was presented in literature it appeared in medieval romances, which came to exemplify ‘courtly love’ – a term not used until the 19th century.
The origins of the word ‘romance’ are interesting. It referred to works written in ‘romanz’ or French – the language which had developed in France from Latin, the language spoken ...

Shakespeare’s Sonnet 130 by design mocks the traditional love poems of Shakespeare’s times. More traditional love poems were rife with exaggerated comparisons that extolled the beauty of the beloved. Shakespeare’s Sonnet 130 outright makes fun of such things in lines like the opening: “My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun;” (1). While much of his poem is spent describing her lover’s shortcomings, in the end he claims to love her.
Shakespearean sonnets are fourteen lines long and consist of four parts (Kennedy n.p.; Owen 260). The first three parts known as quatrains each consist ...

In a society that believes in the adage, "sex sells", it is no wonder how food companies and advertisers are using sexualized images, particularly of women, to advertise their food and products. Society holds certain stereotypes of the ideal woman as skinny and often advertisers use this perception to advertise their products.
Thus, an image advertising food or any other product that portrays a woman as anything but skinny and beautiful would be frowned upon and sales would not be favorable. There are instances when women are portrayed as voracious about food. However, these images and advertisements only use ...

As the spring commencement season winds down, many recent graduates feel trepidation about leaving the academic and purposeful comfort zone. Exiting the high school or college environment implies facing relentless pressure from parents, educators and society to remain on a linear path that leads to a university degree, graduate school, or the workforce. For this reason, young adults feel obligated to conform to a system in which they express having no active voice or personal control. Often, they feel more flummoxed and adrift than when they started academia with such promise. Therefore, it is not surprising that defiance between ...

Discuss how the General Prologue to The Canterbury Tales and one of the tales themselves could function as a criticism of the three estates of medieval culture; that is, the social hierarchy of the 14th century. How do Chaucer’s descriptions of the pilgrims in the prologue contribute to this?
In the Medieval Culture there were three estates of the society. There were those, who prayed, those who fought and those who worked. In Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer the representatives of each estate go into the journey, and right from the Prologue each participant starts ...

The revolution aimed at granting equal access to nation’s resources to all its people and ambitiously marched to produce a just society free from class, race and gender differences.

US reacted by placing a trade embargo on Cuba, a policy which severely affected its market prospects. As a result ...
