Blind Voldemort Foils
One of the most beloved books of all time, Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows written by J.K. Rowling displays love in a tragically appealing style. A story that encompasses the virtues of love and passion with an adventure untold of, the connection between the characters and family members is what wins the battle for Harry in the end. At one point, Voldemort ironically asks, “Is it love again?” as Harry repeatedly brought up that love was what was going to destroy Voldemort (739). Voldemort goes on to say that “Dumbledore’s favorite solution, love, which he claimed conquered death though love did not stop him falling from the tower and breaking like an old waxwork” on which Rowling uses as the foil to show how blind Voldemort is (739).

    Analyzing Dagoberto Gilb's Short Story 'Love In L'

    After reading the two short stories, Love in L.A by Dagoberto Gilb and What We Talk about When We Talk about Love by Raymond Carver, I have realized that a common feeling like ‘love’ can be painted into so many different pictures. Each one of these short stories is written by two different authors and sees ‘love’ at different angles. The character Jake in Love in L.A. has this vision of love that is more of a mockery. Then, Terri’s ex-husband in What We talk about When We Talk about Love has so much passion, but the kind of passion that can be interoperated as obsession. The lies and misconceptions of ‘love’ that Jake and Terri’s ex-husband display reveal that ‘love’ does not exist in a world filled with nothing but cruelty and evil actions.…

    Hypocrisy In Cat's Cradle

    For example Newt said, “Actually, I am a very lucky person and I know it. I am about to marry a wonderful little girl. There is love enough in this world for everybody, if people will just look. I am proof of that.” (Vonnegut 36). Newt had fallen completely for Zinka. Love blinded Newt and he didn’t realize it was an illusion. Soon after the engagement Zinka, who was Russian spy, stole Newt’s father’s invention and took it back to the Soviet Union. Another instance of illusionary love was with John, he said to Mona, “‘As though I’d known you for a thousand years,’ I confessed. I felt like crying. ‘I love you, Mona.’ ‘I love you.’ She said it simply.” (Vonnegut 224). The way she expressed her love toward John showed she had no legitimate feelings for him. Later on she goes on to tell John how she loves everyone and will continue to love everyone around her. The only reason for her love was due to the religion of Bokononism and not for the actual man. Dr. Hoenikker showed no interest to his wife as someone noted this about him “‘...how can you say a man had a good mind when he couldn’t even bother to do anything when the best-hearted, most beautiful woman in the world, his own wife, was dying for lack of love and understanding…” (Vonnegut 86). Hoenikker was unable to have any feeling of love. It caused his wife to feel more depressed as time went by. The theme of love shows readers how fake it is likewise…

    Chicago Handgun Laws Pros And Cons

    On June 28, 2010, the Supreme Court issued its second major ruling on gun rights in three years, ensuring our federally protected right to keep and bear arms in all 50 states. The ruling states that the right to "keep and bear arms" is incorporated by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and applies to the states. No longer will State or local governments be allowed to ban most Americans from owning most types of handguns. The ruling effectively strikes down Chicago's handgun ban, not unlike the Washington D.C. law that was already ruled to be unconstitutional by the Supreme Court two years ago in D.C. v. Heller. Gun Rights Advocates hailed the decision across the Country as a major victory before the "conservative" majority…

    The Princess Bride Analysis

    The Princess Bride keeps this concept, renamed “true love”, as a central theme that brings together the main characters, moving their actions and eventually the plotline, too. The movie tagline says true love is the driving force behind Westley’s quest: “Scaling The Cliffs of Insanity, battling huge rats, facing the torture in The Pit of Despair: True Love has never been a snap.” True love’s ability to meet these sorts of limits comes from the Greek romantic prototype, in which love in and of itself is a cause of suffering. In the Greek novel, love is treated as a disease reduced by violent means of Eros’ archery; it is a “tragic madness” with physical as well has behavioral signs. As Longus write about Chloe’s love-struck condition: Her heart ached; her eyes wandered uncontrollably…She took no interest in food; she lay awake at night…her face went pale and the, in turn, blushed red. Even a cow stung by a gadfly does not behave so madly.” (pg.27) Daphnis’ signs were similar: He ate none of his food except just a taste; when he had to drink, he didn’t no more than to moisten his lips. He was quiet, even though before he had chattered more than the grasshoppers; he did nothing, although before he had been more energetic than the goats…his face was paler than the grass in the summer…

    Pride and Prejudice Argumentative Essay

    Love is a very powerful and driving force in Pride and Prejudice. However, love is not always about stereotypical romantics and, as illustrated in the novel, love can actually bloom from unlikely sources. Contradicting the typical fairytale direction of love stories, Pride and Prejudice instead requires that characters overcome their own sense of pride and initial feelings of prejudice in order to find their one true love. This is contrary to the external obstacles and hardships which are often presented in Disney movies and fairytale stories that so many people refer to when looking to cite examples of love and/or romance. Throughout the book, it is made clear that individuals do not expect to find love, marriages are not defined by love and love is for the chosen few. There are no princes and princesses, no one believes they will get a happily ever after. These chosen few are required to fully develop their character, being intelligent and thoughtful, in order to experience love.…

    Why Love Is More Powerful Than Hate

    But love can go away. It simply disappears, vanishes. So powerful to disappear, or love never goes away. Love's components are intimacy, passion, and commitment, with all their variations. Consummate love that balances them all is rare. If Romeo and Juliet had lived longer, would they have loved each other with the same intimacy, passion, and commitment? I have doubts. Love is powerful because it can transform. It is, in fact, a transforming process of flexible relationships, in which intimacy remains stable.…
