Suggesting that people are often blind to love, Bram Stoker, in his novel, Dracula, depicts the unwillingness of Arthur to believe the words of Van Helsing indicating that Lucy has become undead. Despite seeing the physical evidence of Lucy being undead, Arthur was still almost taken by Lucy’s vampirism when he saw her. His illogical action to run towards danger indicates his desire to ignore the truth. The perfect image of the woman he loves has become tainted and he refuses to acknowledge this. This indicates that love can deceive the minds of people. Instead of acting rationally, people may ignore the faults of their lovers and fail to see reality. Although love may be a beautiful emotion between people, love can also be fatal to one’s sense

No matter the quality, publications written by women were typically ridiculed by their male contenders. However, a handful of women defied the common standards and were prosperous; one of these was Aprha Behn.

Love can have a person being in the presence of the same person all day and night and never getting tired of that person. When a human loves another human being or an object it does not just come and vanish, so the emotion stays forever. [This is all so very general! Some specific examples would be
