If only one could tell true love from false love as one can tell mushrooms from toadstools,” said by Katherine Mansfield. True love and false love is something many people can’t tell the difference from at all. They think that love is love but that’s not really the truth. Love can either be true or false, and in the book The Great Gatsby, the characters have a big problem knowing what is what. The theme in Great Gatsby is that people may take advantage of the idea of love rather than have a true feeling

Each speaker seeks to unleash his venomous emotions at a woman who has scorned him, by humiliating her through complicated revenge fantasies and savage metaphors. Through this invective, he hopes to convince us of this woman's inward ugliness. Raleigh catalogues a long list of conceits for his false love: she is every horrid
False Love in The Lottery and To His Coy Mistress What is love? The age-old question arises once more. In truth, a universal definition has not been agreed upon, but generally one can define love as “an indication of adoration” or an “an ineffable feeling of intense attraction shared in interpersonal and sexual relationships.” Love can be directed towards kin, a lover, oneself, nature, or humanity- but regardless that love in an emotional sense is eternal.
