    Perhaps some people’s first impression on Mona Van Duyn’s “Letters from a Father” is that its topic a cliché; since poems about death are not rare at all. However, Van Duyn’s unique interpretations and attitude towards her writing style, which are apart from other poets, shall also be discovered if one dwells on her poem. In the poem “Letters from a father”, it mainly portrays the daily life of a father, a mother and those feeders (birds). Throughout the poem, it may seem that it emphasizes the process of characters’ acceptance of birds and understanding on their daughter.

    The Merriam-Webster Dictionary gives seven definitions of love (excluding religious and sports definitions), ranging from sexual desire to warm affection. Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet explores this spectrum through various characters’ attitudes toward the nebulous word. The expression, emotion, and worth varies, yet the label remains constant. Shakespeare’s greatness, perhaps, then stems from the portrayal of how apposed viewpoints of love can come from the same species--the same town or family line, even.

    Love is defined as an affection for somebody such as a close friend or partner, or for something as general as a place, ideal, or an animal. Although love is considered a powerful and meaningful emotion, it is often used too frequently in society. William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men are both love stories, but while Shakespeare is depicted as an erotic and sensual love, Steinbeck is a story of a brotherly love. Romeo and Juliet are star-crossed lovers who have a very strong relationship, however, a stronger relationship appears in the book, Of Mice and Men. The relationship between Lennie and George is even stronger than Romeo and Juliet’s in many ways. George and Lennie’s relationship is stronger because of the things they have been through over the years and time and commitment they have spent together.

    Love is heavily intertwined with being human. Indeed, everyone doubtlessly experiences some form of love in their life, be it towards objects or people. This love is organized into three types; eros, philos, and agape. Eros, likely the most common kind of love in western culture, denotes sexual desire, or lust. Philos covers love among friends, or love for the purpose to gain something. Agape, the rarest of all, encapsulates selfless love, or the willingness to die for another. All forms are present within the three works, Voltaire’s Candide, Cervantes’ Don Quixote, and in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, albeit in differing levels.

Love in the Time of Cholera is a mixture of two contrasting factors: the purity of love, and the way love is personified in everyday life.

It’s masterful in a myriad of ways; transfixing, then transforming the lover, completely removing them from anything previously palpable and familiar. Bewitchingly, love alters the conscience and authors its decisions. It is the facilitator of exile from oneself, and is brilliantly woven into the lives of the characters in D.H. Lawrence’s Odour of Chrysanthemums and Carlos Fuentes’s Aura; albeit sometimes in antagonistic ways.
