Is the relationship of Dominique Francon and Howard Roark cataloged as Stockholm syndrome? What are the personalities of Toohey and Roark throughout the novel? How does each character deal with different situations? Would they fit in this society and how they would fit? The relationship of Dominique and Roark is the most complicated compared to the other relationships in the novel. From my point of view there is two words that can explain their love and those are “Stockholm Syndrome”. The definition of Stockholm syndrome is feelings of trust or affection felt in certain cases of kidnapping or rape by a victim towards the captor. Dominique and Roark’s love story started when Roark went to her house to repair a scratch in the …show more content…
Dominique has an inner conflict with herself; her conflict is between her idealism and pessimism. Idealism means the practice of forming or pursuing ideals, especially unrealistically and pessimism means a tendency to see the worst aspect of things. When she sees something great, or something that she has a desire for, she would rather destroy it rather than seeing it being destroy by the world that she despises. The reason why Dominique doesn’t want to accept that she fell in love with Roark, is because she sees the greatness that she worships. From her point of view falling in love with Roark is the worst thing it could happen to her, because now she feels that she has a tie with the world. Roark is a great example of the type of disaster that she fears, now that she has a tie with the world thanks to Roark. According to The Fountainhead Part 1, Chapter 12 Dominique was talking to Alvah Scarrett and she expressed how she felt about getting feelings for something or someone "If I found a job, a project, an idea or a person I wanted-I'd have to depend on the whole world. Everything has strings leading to everything else. We're all so tied together. We're all in a net, the net is waiting, and we're pushed into it by one single desire. You want a thing and it's precious to you. Do you know who is standing ready to tear it out of your hands? You can't know, it may be so involved and …show more content…
Casa De Papel (Money Heist) show a case of Stockholm syndrome, between Monica (victim) and Denver (captor). The difference between Casa De Papel and the Fountainhead is that Casa De Papel is a kidnapping and the Fountainhead is a rape. (according to Netflix) Monica is kidnaped with other 66 people in the Royal Mint of Spain by eight thieves. Among those eight thieves Denver is present. Monica and Denver’s love story started when he brought her an abortion pill, because before the kidnapping happened Monica was expecting a child from her boss (Arturo) but he didn’t want to take responsibilities for the baby. So, when Denver brought her the pills he talked with her and he told her his story and the he was not a wanted baby. He tried to convince her not to abort by telling her his story, which in the end managed to convince her not to proceed. When the days passed he started to develop feelings for her, but his boss (Berlin) told him to eliminate her, because she tried to call the police, but he was not able because of the feelings that he had for her. So, when he went to kill her, he just shot her in the leg to make his boss (Berlin) think that he killed her. After that happened the days passed by and she started developing

Love is something that is so beautiful it brings people together, but at the same time it can be the most destructive thing and it can tear people apart. Edmond Rostand's play, Cyrano de Bergerac, is a tale of a love triangle between Cyrano, Christian, and Roxane. In the play, Cyrano helps Christian make a false identity about himself for Roxane to fall in love for. Christian had the looks while Cyrano had the personality, together they could make the perfect man. Throughout the play, you see similarities and differences between Christian and Cyrano’s personality, looks, and who they love.
He loved a woman named Doris who was a widow, and twice of his age. He thought of her as one “whom he now loved better than he would have thought possible”(page 15). This relationship was only his infatuation. On the other side, he rejected Marie by saying, “I think of her as a little girl, not a wife”(page 14). During the groom service he started to observe Marie. One day he is found as “sItting as composed and shaded as a perfect charcoal sketch”(page 22). He loves to draw, and he imagined her in a drawing. As can be seen he started to find a connection with her. In the end scene of Bernard, Marie served him food, and “slowly and with great emotion he ate”(page 23).This gives us the evidence of their newly made relation. Ultimately he understood the difference between immature infatuation and meaningful

Have you ever noticed that a decision you made was because you wanted or needed something? This happens because it drives individuals to make decisions, whether that be the possession that you have wanted since you were younger or that dream trip you have wanted to go on since you were a teen. These sublime acts can cause both undesirable consequences and delightful experiences. Not only does this happen in real life, but it also can be illustrated in books or short stories, including “The Necklace” by Guy de Maupassant, “Civil Peace” by Chinua Achebe, “The Golden Touch” by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Need an outside source!!!

In The Lais of Marie de France, the theme of love is conceivably of the utmost importance. Particularly in the story of Guigemar, the love between a knight and a queen brings them seemingly true happiness. The lovers commit to each other an endless devotion and timeless affection. They are tested by distance and are in turn utterly depressed set apart from their better halves. Prior to their coupling the knight established a belief to never have interest in romantic love while the queen was set in a marriage that left her trapped and unhappy. Guigemar is cursed to have a wound only cured by a woman’s love; he is then sent by an apparent fate to the queen of a city across the shores. The attraction between them sparks quickly and is purely based on desire, but desire within romantic love is the selfishness of it. True love rests on a foundation that is above mere desire for another person. In truth, the selfishness of desire is the
First, I would like to talk about the love between Rosalind and Orlando. From the beginning of the play, the reader can clearly sense them are the hero and the heroine of the story. Rosalind is beautiful, and Orlando is handsome, the way they fell in love at first sight is traditional, Orlando’s good nature and bravery won her heart in Act 1, Scene 2. However, if it was just like that, it would be a bit boring, therefore, a new dimension was added to this love when Rosalind was banished by Duke Frederick in A1 S3, and decided to disguise as a male- Ganymede and escape to the Forest of Arden. Their love was tested by the new gender of Rosalind.
