William Shakespeare, the man who wrote the most famous stories: Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, and Hamlet, all deal with the theme of love. “Who could refrain that had a heart to love and in that heart courage to make love known?” A quote from Macbeth, Act I, Scene VI explains what love can do. During this act Macbeth was angered about Duncan’s death. Allowing his anger to take over, Macbeth kills the murderers out of respect for Duncan. The situation becomes ironic because Macbeth ends up killing the king to become king of Scotland. Especially ironic if love is patient, love is kind, and does not envy. It proposes some questions, are some people born with chemical imbalances which make it impossible for them to know the feeling …show more content…
of love? Are some people prone to enjoy a variety of things they tend to strongly like compared to any one thing in particular? Google defines love as an intense feeling of deep affection. We live in a world where love is experienced in more ways than just human form, it is the center of our world. When we become angered or bothered, the reason typically starts because we have love or passion for that certain thing. Each being will show their love differently, as well as accept it differently. Doctor Gary Chapman introduces the five languages of love; words of affirmation, acts of service, receiving gifts, quality time, and physical touch. Macbeth, showed love through physical touch and acts of service for Duncan. Although, some may agree it was a harsh way to show love, but at what point can love be too aggressive? Some parents will punish their children by spanking them in which they say is out of “tough love.” As a child I was told to go to the corner or simply explain what I did wrong and why I should have not done that. I guess I may be blind-sided on this because my parents never spanked me to mind since it was not needed. Congratulations to my parents, after three children they finally got their angel child. This is proof that everyone has a different explanation or feeling of love. If they feel love at all..
Going through the motions of life it seems as we strive for a certain love.
Almost like this intense feeling is human nature because animals, such as bears and dogs, show intense feelings as well. If I was able to choose how to spend my time twenty-four seven, I would choose to spend it with people I love rather than spending time at work for money. A common saying among society, “what really counts is that a person does what he or she loves.” But, how many people actually do? It would be wrong to assume love has the same effect on everyone. A music artist, named Kesha, has a hit called, “Your Love Is My Drug.” The fact we can feel so hard that love can be compared to a drug like cocaine, it becomes interesting. We really can be heartbroken figuratively and literally. Researchers call the issue Takotsubo cardiomyopathy or Broken Heart Syndrome and they compare it to a heart attack. Most people are able to recover from it in a short amount of time, but sometimes it can really damage your heart muscles (Heart.org). Johnny Cash, a world famous musician who died from diabetes, actually was carried to death by a broken heart. Years after he begged June Carter for her hand in marriage, she passed away from heart surgery complications. As four months passed, Johnny stayed in the hospital due to diabetes. Even though, diabetes is how his death was pronounced, the stress of intense grief can take a condition and change it into a deadly one (Hayes.) Older couples typically experience
this more often than young people because they have the same routine for years and when this is interrupted, it causes trouble for the heart. How crazy a feeling can make us, right?
“Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get only with what you are expecting to give – which is everything,” said Katharine Hepburn (Popova.) To be loved is amazing. And to allow others to feel loved is even more amazing. Unlike sadness and happiness, it is not a mood or an emotion. Love is the connection between two people that contains the ingredients of trust, respect, and affection. Let’s say a death in the family occurs. We receive a call from the hospital saying your brother has passed in a car accident and they were not able to revive him. Tears roll down your face, food seems like the devil, sleep is not a thing, the perfect nest is nowhere to be found. Your significant other has never experienced a death in the family. Does not like sad things. But, they are there, holding you, standing with you and your whole family after hearing the news, and if these cries could be heard throughout the world everyone would run away, but they are still there with you. They are feeling the pain you feel. They’re looking at you. They’re feeling for you. They’re crying for you. They’re attending a private viewing, where you are standing in the back of the room because you cannot bare to look at your brother’s corpse, so are they. Doing anything to get moment to moment. Looking into their loving eyes is the only thing you can focus on because they are the only thing keeping your head up. This is love. Being there unconditionally. Real love inspires us to a spirit of kindness and generosity. Actually, love is its own law (Anapol.) You cannot buy love nor sell love. You cannot force love. We can only feel love and express it on our own understanding toward one another.
