Recommended: The role of women in literature

Love is indescribable, and truly a gift to have. Byron, a true player when it comes to love, always wanted to find the perfect girl for himself. However, Byron would have never gotten the chance to experience his true love because he died at a very young age. There are three ranks for why guys go for multiple girls, for instance Byron is an example of this. The first rank, guys with lots of girls tend to have more fun and they don’t have to commit to a girl. Second, then there are guys who are focused on one girl and that girls means the world to them. Finally, there are guys who show no interest in girls at all because they have their eyes focused on whatever their heart desires. Even though Byron would be placed in the first ranking, Byron wanted to actually get out of having multiple girlfriends. The one thing that he wanted was to find the love of his life. In the text She Walks in Beauty by Lord Byron the woman that is being described in lines 11-18 is the girl of his dreams. Her appearance revels the true beauty of love, the innocents of love, and charm.
The beauty of being in love is something out of this world. Being in love with the one person that would do anything for you, and vies-versa, Byron finally found what he was looking for. Almost from two different planets, this exact moment brought this stranger to Byron’s eyes. As star gazed as he was he states, “She walks in beauty, like the night of cloudless climes and starry skies;” (Prentice Hall Literature, 2013, pg. 855 lines 1-2). To think that there are over 9 billion people on this planet, and there is the possibility of you finding your true love is very shocking and almost impossible it seems like. Love is not something that can be tampered with; love is in fact ...

...With such sweet admiration of love in his heart, Byron describes love on a whole new level. The description of this woman’s appearance revels so much about her character. This explains why Byron was so madly in love with this young and very attractive young lady. Throughout this poem, Byron describes the beauty of love, its charm, and the innocents of love that is so clear throughout this poem. Even though he was a player, he had learned from his past mistakes. With the right woman in his life his whole life could change. Dead at thirty-six years old, Byron provides a clear example of his thoughts of love. Love is existent in each living thing. May it be noticeable now or not, but things always have their ways of working out. This thing called love is out there and almost anyone could tap into the potential of love.

    ...ne perfect other half for everywhere, but that each of us will find numerous loves throughout our lives which will suit us throughout different phases and different events (Nadel 29). It is exactly this resistance to love and the need to become immune to its unyielding power makes him such a melancholically charismatic figure. His women were all loved, all worshipped, but in the end, this Byronic hero remains with a forever broken heart, to speak the words of his heart through the lyre of his music.

    ...d stanza begins with, “One shade the more, one ray the less” (Byron pp. 358). This demonstrates that the woman is not solely good or positive. Even with a heart of innocence the contradiction of being born with different shades and gray areas leaves the reader to think that the beauty is not entirely good. Her beauty might make her fragile and innocent. One thing that Byron ends with is referencing the separation of the mind and heart in the last two lines. This separation lets the reader truly analyze the fact that feelings and thoughts can be two separate realities. Feelings and thought inside a person can be a mixture of good and evil. This can influence an individual’s actions looking at each especially through separation. Byron continues to leave the reader with these two lines maybe inferring that innocence is what we should finally revolve our lives around.

  • Shakespeare's Love To The Dark Lady Analysis

    979 Words  | 2 Pages

    That means, the approaches of poet’s love remain the same. In one place, he portrays beauty as conveying a great responsibility in the sonnets addressed to the young man. The poet has experienced what he thinks of as "the marriage of true minds," also known as true love, that his love remains strong, and that he believes that it’s eternal. Nothing will stop their love, as in the symbols like all the ships, stars and stormy seas that fill the landscape of the poem and so on what can affect to their love. The poet is too much attracted with the young man’s beauty, though this indicates to something really bad behavior. But in another place, Shakespeare makes fun of the dark lady in sonnet 130. He explains that his lover, the dark lady, has wires for hair, bad breath, dull cleavage, a heavy step, pale lips and so on, but to him, real love is, the sonnet implies, begins when we accept our lovers for what they are as well as what they are not. But other critics may not agree with this and to them, beauty may define to something

    Will's beloved is "more lovely and more temperate (18.2)" than a summer's day; "the tenth Muse (38.9);" "'Fair,' 'kind,' and 'true' (105.9);" the sun that shines "with all triumphant splendor (33.10)." We've heard all this before. This idealization of the loved one is perhaps the most common, traditional feature of love poetry. Taken to its logical conclusion, however, idealized love has some surprising implications.

  • Dependency of Love

    947 Words  | 2 Pages

    Love is the ubiquitous force that drives all people in life. If people did not want, give, or receive love, they would never experience life because it is the force that completes a person. People rely on this seemingly absent force although it is ever-present. Elizabeth Barrett Browning is an influential poet who describes the necessity of love in her poems from her book Sonnets from the Portuguese. She writes about love based on her relationship with her husband. Her life is dependent on him, and she expresses this same reliance of love in her poetry. She uses literary devices to strengthen her argument for the necessity of love. The necessity of love is a major theme in Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s “Sonnet 14,” “Sonnet 43,” and “Sonnet 29.”

    ...he sweat and painstaking talent artists put into a piece of art. Likewise, when an onlooker sees a couple in love, how are they to distinguish whether it is true love or merely youthful, immature love? For this reason, only experienced lovers are capable of detecting true love in others. The potential beauty of love is held at the mercy of the two lovers. Thus the extent to which the love will mature depends on the unpredictable course the journey of love takes throughout its progressive stages. As with a painting, at it’s beginning, love has the potential to be something powerful and immortal. Easy love is happy, immature love. For love to be deep and meaningful, it must face challenges and overcome adversity. Love is the artwork of nature. Like the beautiful and serene calm after a vicious storm, love is often dangerous and uncomfortable before it can be lovely.

    Love is the most important aspect of human life as we know it. The reasons are because it is one of the only things that can not be bought with any amount of money so it makes it a very scarce resource. If love would have a price tag it would be for an infinite amount of dollars, pounds, or even pesos. Some people live their whole life looking for a " true love" some are lucky and find it. Some live their life la vida loca and have never found the time to find a true love. Others get tired of waiting and get married without love. Love has not changed at all over the course of history and this makes it the most important emotion in the human mind, body and soul.
