Romeo and Juliet-Love Over Lust There are so many wrong things about the love that Romeo and Juliet had. They said they loved each other‚ but I do not find that possible. For one thing‚ the love that Romeo felt for Rosaline was not love. Second‚ Shakespeare does not exactly explain love very well‚ or the definition of it. Thirdly‚ Juliet and Romeo were never in love‚ plain and simple. And fourthly‚ defining infatuation. Apparently‚ Shakespeare has mistaken love for infatuation in this play. First

to long and lust for someone so much that it hurts beyond words. To lust and even have but know its not right. The love that Shakespeare writes about is something that many people go through. The feeling of going back and forth because you are sure you want it and then know you don’t. THis sonnet really demonstrates Shakespeare’s hell on earth with the indecisiveness of someone he loved. The theme is that lust is not always love and can make a person mad and full of shame. You can lust for some one

The poem Sonnet 129 focuses on human lust and its inevitable stages of shame. Shakespeare promotes the theme that as a result of lust there is only corruptness‚ whether it be while one is “in pursuit” (9) (in the future tense)‚ “in possession” (in the present tense)‚ or after the fact (in the past tense) when it proves “a very woe” (11). The negativity of lust is extremely reinforced in only the third line of the poem with a chain of adjectives to describe lust: “Is perjured‚ murderous‚ bloody‚

The role of female characters in Greek mythology was to be held as an object for lust. One reason why this is held true is that many gods have used women portraying that. On the other hand‚ another reason is that many men have also used women as an object of lust which is depicted in many myths. When Zeus‚ who is married to Hera‚ decides he is bored he goes down to Earth and find a beautiful person to satisfy his lust. One example was the story of Zeus & Leto. Zeus had to pursue her and when he finally

perplexing‚ it shows how powerful love and lust are as it made Lupe do something that many women not in her predicament wouldn’t do or at least say they wouldn’t do. When we love hard or lust after someone‚ sometimes our judgment is clouded or perhaps we take on an I don’t care attitude and adjust to the situation.

to assume that the speaker is a male person‚ because 129 addresses an all-men audience. The sonneteer seems to lecture this audience on the three stages of lust and its binary impact on a person’s mentality: making one feel heavenly only whilst consummation and like hell all the other times. The natural conclusion of this would be to avoid lust‚ but even while arguing the speaker sees the futility in this request and‚ instead‚ tries to at least raise his “pupils’” awareness of lust’s true colors.

In sonnet one hundred and twenty nine by William Shakespeare‚ the speaker uses powerful imagery and a dark‚ ominous tone to convey how lust can seem wonderful at the time‚ but can eventually hurt a person emotionally and lead them to a the point of no return. In the first quatrain of the sonnet‚ the speaker states that “lust is perjured‚ murderous‚ bloody‚ full of blame‚ savage‚ extreme‚ rude‚ cruel‚ not to trust.” (3-4) This powerful imagery from this quotation depicts what the speaker believes

Shakespeare’s definitions of Love and Lust 	When there are women and an omnipotent force to procreate there will be a number of resources that a man will use in order to attract the opposite sex. Often with the use of the notorious whistle/mating call‚ the perpetual use of lies about income‚ the stench of musk cologne‚ or the ever-popular use of the love poem‚ men strive to appeal to women with the intent to see his way to her heart.
