In A.B Yehoshua’s novel,The Lover, a chain of first person monologues are described. These monologues are set up in a mixture of flashbacks and conflicts that the characters undergo. This unique structure gives the novel a special meaning towards its description of the characters, and the story itself. For example, the character Asya is described to be a very hardworking independent woman. But, she has a odd relationship with her husband, Adam, who is a diligent man in charge of a successful mechanics garage. Throughout the story Adam and Asya never, hug never kiss, and they barley speak to one another. Meaning that this structure lets The Lover symbolize the loneliness and insufficient amount of recognition towards each of the characters.For instance, Daffi, the daughter of Asya and Adam, is a teenage girl in lack of attention. So, because of her parents barely paying any type of attention to her, she spends her time wandering the streets most of the day trying to keep herself productive by either stalking people or just walking around. After awhile,she then begins to connect with her fathers worker, Na’im, who also is alone and has no attention from anyone, and in the end they both fall in love. This basically shows how this novel details the meaning of loneliness and the importance of love.…
She hasn’t grasp the thought of him not loving her so he tells her to open her eyes and stop seeing what she wants to see, but to see what is actually there. “You must not grieve that the world is a glimpsed through veils.” (18) With blurred vision, and broken hearted she tries to understand him when he says, “That you are, you want to grasp the heart of things, hungry to know where meaning lies.” (21-22) He’s simply telling her that she can’t get what she always wants. Like a child asking a million questions or a lion hunting his prey, the answer is right in front of her. But still she denies that answer because it still isn’t the one she seeks.…

When placed at the end of a sentence, the pause can also inspire a feeling of melancholy longing. The pause is sometimes used to represent an intentional silence, perhaps indicating irritation, dismay, shock or disgust. This rhetorical device where a sentence is stopped short, is not because of interruption, but is because of the speaker is too emotional to continue. She is sobbing. In Stanza 2, Line 2, there is a pause before the word apart to emphasize the distance between the persona and her lover. The word “distance” here is not the physical distance or space between two persons, but it implies the emotional distance or the different mindset of her and her lover toward love. In Stanza 3, the persona says her lover had the opportunity to have her. In Line 6 after the dash, the persona reveals the reasons she rejects her lover. Her lover wore his heart on a sleeve means that he expresses his emotions and desires directly. For her, that way of expressing love is not poetic and romantic. In Stanza 5, Line 5 the pause before somehow implies that the persona is considering and thinking about the relationship. She stops sobbing. She sighs and says the word somehow by showing her depression and despair toward the relationship. The persona is reluctant to leave her lover, and now shows that she has accepted the…
In the last stanza the narrator finally comes to a conclusion after her rant of contrasting her and her lovers lifestyles. Apparently “[He] wants[s] to get married. [She] wants to be free”, which shocks readers, especially when the narrator blatantly tells her lover, who originally was the one she…
I see it as love described in all its brutality and the moment is described as being completely lost in a moment. Maybe it’s a one night stand, or maybe it’s all about falling in love for the first time. It may not necessarily be the first time that they had sex, but it’s definitely the first time that they were in love. I also think it is interesting that we do not know the gender of the subject in the poem.…
In this line she is realizing how effortless it was for her to connect with another man that is not her husband. She is saying how easy is it for her to be without him, proving how little…
Have you ever think that you would die for someone who ignore all your love? I would not do that because it is such a crazy thing to do for someone like that. However, the song "Grenade" by Bruno Mars is about a guy who would die for such a "not so nice" woman. According to Bruno Mars, his friend Benny Blanco, a famous song writer, gave him the idea to write the story of this song. After playing on the radio for a while, this song was one of the most favorite song in America. According to Paul Grein, a music chart watcher, this song became his second solo single to top the 2 million mark in paid downloads and has sold over 3 millions downloads in the US. In addition, talking of communication, this song contains different concepts or principles such as love styles, dyadic break down process, haptics, and kinesics in non-verbal communication.…
She explains the closeness shared between the two of them. The eyes open shows the searching of the relationship. The lovers talk to each other throughout the relationship, but I do not believe she fully understands him because he speaks about dreaming and she does not understand what he is saying. She has a hard time understanding to the point she cannot sleep.…
It's a bit ironic that he goes out with other women, yet he is unable to see the lover right in front of him. In the first stanza, eager lips and rapturous eyed depict the attraction the speaker feels from the man. A thousand little deaths shows the man's romantic tales with other women breaks her heart. You can find the simile from the…
“Sex without Love” begins asking the reader a question, “How do they do it, the ones who make love without love?/” (Love 1-2). She there sets out her main point in writing this poem; how can the make something as beautiful as love without loving each other. She compares making love to that of “beautiful dancers/” (Love2) who are “gliding over each other like ice skaters over the ice/”(Love 2-3). When we then talk about her other poem, “Last Night”, it also provides us with vivid images that show the disconnection between the participants. “Love? It was more like dragonflies/ in the sun, 100 degrees at noon…/” (Night 1-2). She here describes how she felt when she was having sex with that other person, she then goes on to describe how she was having sex. “No kiss,/ no tenderness-more like killing, death grip/ holding to life, genitals/ like violent hands clasped tight/ barely moving, more like being closed/ in a great jaw and eaten/” (Night 12-17). “Sex without Love” provides us with vivid images that show us how she feels when she is having sex with someone she loves while in “Last Night” she describes how she felt while having sex with someone she didn’t love; it was a more rough and emotionless sex.…
In the songs “Jolene” by Dolly Parton and “Before He Cheats” by Carrie Underwood, we are shown two women’s take on infidelity. One perspective shows us a woman’s vengeance, and her reaction to being betrayed, but does so in a way that is light-hearted and slightly comical. The other paints a much more personal and vulnerable picture, it’s Dolly’s plea to the “other woman”. Both of these perspectives are easily relatable to the listener, because we have all felt broken, we have all felt vengeful, and we have all felt the breath of fresh air after you pick yourself up.…
“Grenade” by Bruno Mars addresses the topic of unrequited love or one sided love. The song starts out by describing a faulty relationship, that has been poor ever since the beginning. The women of the relationship assuming it is a girl is loved by Mars, but she never returns any love. “Grenade” has the theme that loving someone and not being loved back is one of the worst feelings. By saying “Should've known you was trouble from the first kiss had your eyes wide open, why were they open?”…
