In the play The Crucible we find ourselves in a love triangle. This is between Abigail Williams, John Proctor, and Elizabeth Proctor. It is all over a silly man, that and getting caught for doing what is believed that a few teenaged girls were not being the proper girls that fit in this time frame. This was strongly frowned upon. Something that we realize as we read the play is that there is a major role between two women and this keeps both the trials and the issues alive. Elizabeth is a mother

Love Triangle in William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night “O, what a deal of scorn looks beautiful in the contempt and anger of his lip! A murd’rous guilt shows not itself more soon than love that would seem hid: love’s night is noon. – Cesario, by the roses of the spring, by maidhood, honor, truth, and every thing, I love thee so, that maugre all thy pride, nor wit nor reason can my passion hide. Do not extort thy reasons from this clause, for that I woo, thou therefore hast no cause; but rather
not keep two people who have the potential for consummate love apart even though they may be divided by class because doing so would leave the two people unhappy and unfulfilled. In “The Storm,” the characters Calixta and Bobinot do not seem to be happy and fulfilled in the marriage. This inference can see this if we try to see how they fit in the Love Triangle created by Robert Sternberg which measures if two people have consummate love for each other. Before describing how Calixta and Bobinot do
true love never did run smooth.” -William Shakespeare Love is a very complicated term and like Shakespeare wrote, it never runs smoothly. One mishap in love is a “he loves her, but she loves him” love triangle scenario. Ideas of love triangles in literature have dated back to even in Shakespeare’s works. For example, his play A Midsummer Night’s Dream is written based on a love triangle between Hermia, Lysander, and Demetrius. It is no surprise that Emily Bronte incorporates the love triangle into
Richmond, while Lionel is associated with a Southside gang in Richmond. Both of them want the girl so drama and violence starts to spill over. According to Richard Felson, a professor of criminology and sociology at Pennsylvania State University, love triangles often contain “infidelities that are perceived as transgressions and they are likely to lead the offended party to feel angry and aggrieved at the partner. The phrase "she done him wrong" reflects this sentiment. Offended parties may believe that
Nothing beats the idea of living a prestige lifestyle. Evelyn Nesbit was a young talented girl who climbed up the social ladder through capturing attention of many well-known men in the early 1900s (Gottschalk, 2008). Two of the men Nesbit was associated with were Stanford White and Harry Thaw (Gottschalk, 2008). Thaw's insanity caused the life of White (Gottschalk, 2008). Many seem to agree Nesbit is responsible for Thaw’s death. However, evidently, Nesbit is merely a victim of the situation.
of the past, but by hurting each other in a disturbed form of a “love triangle”, where the love really doesn’t exist. In this complicated triangle Inez is attracted to Estelle, who is in turn needs a man such as Garcin to desire and notice her. Thus Garcin can hurt Inez by pretending to desire Estelle, or hurt Estelle by not caring. Garcin however, will never be at rest until Inez recognizes that he is not a coward. Thus, the triangle is complete, and the three create hell for each other. Even when

Arthurian Legend Even though the Arthur legend is hundreds of years old, our culture today is still fascinated with the idea of the Round Table and the love triangle between Arthur, Lancelot, and Guinevere. There are movies and books galore to read about the different takes on the legend of Arthur. However, it makes one wonder if our culture really understands the Arthurian legend. Especially in the movies the central idea of a literary work can be lost. Compared to Malory’s Le Morte d’Arthur

Neither can be enjoyed, If both remain alive: to take the widow Exasperates, makes mad her sister Goneril; And hardly shall I carry out my side," (V, i, ll 58-61) Edmund conveys how though both sisters are vying for his love and eventually his hand in marriage, he does not love either, and is only playing them for his own benefit; he just wants to
rule, those who pray, and those who work. Assuming that the worldly knight would tell the most entertaining and understandable story (that would shorten their pilgrimage to St. Thomas Becket), Harry tells the Knight to begin. The Knight's tale of love, loyalty, and battle is placed in the chivalric romance genre. The courtly romance concerns the mythical kingdom of Theseus, wealthy rulers, and pagan (mythical) gods. Throughout the tale, the Knight and the other characters refer to the concept of
between Erik's dark and passionate world, and her innocent love for the well-bred Raoul. These fundamentals of the story of The Phantom are kept in tact among the versions, while changes are made to target the adaptation to a certain audience. Another common attraction is to the personality of Erik, a character often repeated in literature. Erik's relationship with Christine also encompasses many archetypal patterns, and the love triangle among Christine, Erik and Raoul is a recurring human behaviour2

In the same manner, Camel Cigarettes Company released an advertisement that parodied that kind of TV program. The advertisement, titled “Bizarre Bigfoot Love Triangle,” shows the kind of scene that would be typical in a Jerry Springer episode. The characters consist of Bigfoot in the middle, two women fighting with bouncers attempting to hold them back, a host who pretends to look confused, and a cheering audience
