In The Scarlet Letter‚ love conquers the pressures of society‚ while in The Great Gatsby‚ love overcomes the

“Love is not all” by Edna Millay‚ discusses the illogical aspects of love and how people yearn for it‚ even though it is not necessary for survival.

The first octet presents Millay’s opinion

“IT’S ALL ABOUT LOVE” By Therese Alva Hinoso “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son‚ that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Shakespeare‚ on the other hand‚ depicts love as perfect and necessary from the beginning to the end of
