Lust For centuries‚ the greatest tragedy of the Victorian era‚ and perhaps the greatest ever written in the English language‚ has shown the world the raw power which “young love” can exhibit. But was it truly this “love” which provoked such intense and emotional whims? Or was it “young lust” which became rooted in the two teenagers? Key clues from the sacred text of the Bard himself can give insight to the true nature of the dynamics between the star-crossed lovers. The first example comes from

Hamlet ’s Love for Ophelia Throughout Hamlet many people were left wondering if Hamlet really did love Ophelia or not. Hamlet was not that interested in Ophelia‚ but at the same time he was. It’s almost as if he was bipolar when it came to love. Shakespeare did a really good job showing this concept when it came to writing this play. In this play‚ Ophelia and Hamlet had a love and hate relationship. At times it seemed like they loved each other‚ but at other times it seemed like they hated each

Hamlets Love For Ophelia Although the play Hamlet was written nearly 450 years ago by William Shakespeare‚ scholars still pose the question‚ “Did Hamlet really love Ophelia?” I believe Hamlet had feelings for Ophelia‚ but he never demonstrated true love for her. Several times in the play Hamlet denies his love for Ophelia. If he truly loved her‚ he would not want to hurt her. When Hamlet accidently killed Polonius‚ he did not try to console Ophelia. If he truly loved her‚ he would have been at her

Lust is having a self-indulgent sexual desire. The conflict in “Lust” is within the main character. She continuously finds herself in many different sexual encounters with members of the opposite sex. I do not personally believe the story is told in chronological order. In the opening of the story she stated‚ “Leo was from a long time ago‚ the first one I ever saw nude.” She didn’t state he was the first ever sexual encounter. The conflict was not resolved at the end; however‚ the ending was satisfying

Juliet; Love Or Lust? Reputed to be the best love story ever written by an extensive number of resources‚ there is no doubt that Romeo and Juliet demonstrate a concise image of unconditional love. However‚ the real question is what was Shakespeare’s opinion on what true love looks like? And since Romeo and Juliet only knew each other for less than a week‚ should the reader automatically assume that they were truly in love‚ or should there be further suspicion on whether or not the love displayed

Lust effecting love in the Wife of Bath "If there were no authority on earth Except experience‚ mine‚ for what it’s worth‚ And that’s enough for me‚ all she goes to show That marriage is a misery and a Woe‚" opens Chaucer’s "Wife of Bath’s Tale." This means without God present in love on earth marriage is misery. Marriage can only be misery if there is no love and without love there is only lust. Therefore lust is a major benefactor to the outcome of the Wife of Bath. Throughout this entire
