Forbidden Love “There is a charm about the forbidden that makes it unspeakably desirable” quote by Mark Twain. Michael Ondaatje feels similarly in his poem “The Cinnamon Peeler” because he longs to be with his beloved but this is not possible. We infer that Ondaatje is in a lower caste than his love because he hypothetically states “If I were a cinnamon peeler…” (1). The idea of them being together is what sets off this love poem. He goes on a type of role-playing game in which he and his wife

who have cheated before are 350% more likely to cheat again.” In Niccolo Machiavelli’s statement about fear over love‚ he argues that one is much safer to be feared than to be loved. I agree with this statement‚ because any living creature can live their entire life without love‚ but it is impossible to live your life lacking any fear. In love‚ there is the high possibility of betrayal and loss. Love is blind and leaves one vulnerable‚ while fear is constant and in control. Historically‚ fear always

In Let’s Talk About Love‚ Carl Wilson touched upon people’s tastes in music. Quoting the French philosopher and poet Paul Valéry‚ Wilson explained‚ “Tastes … are composed of a thousand distastes” (Wilson 11).

Speaking from experience‚ I definitely like many genres of music. For example‚ I like rock music

Romeo and Juliet is a play about contrasts as much as it is love and hate. It’s a tragic play which love and hate are embodied in many different ways. The Montagues and Capulets hate each other after a long feud long forgotten‚ but Romeo and Juliet meet each other and fall in love instantly “star crossed lovers” showing that hate can be born in love‚ an oxymoron. The prologue establishes the themes of love and hate from the beginning and links the two. The sonnet at the start of the play gives us
