::Literature Theatre Studies in TESL:: Universiti Putra Malaysia ::: Redemption 1: Love in Keat's Bright Star and Shake...: "Love laughs. Love hurts. These are the two dichotomies of love we encounter everyday in our lives. Love is never stagnant and if Lovers do..."
Hi there Pn.Ju and my fellow bloggers.
Indeed the discussion is on love… love and love. Wow ! Friends all of you have so much to say about love. It was so interesting to read about all your views on love. Just as Keats and Shakespeare who views love as immortal, sincere and pure.
Keats views love as his life. If he were to lose love than life has no meaning. This is what he shares in the poem Bright Star. He equates his love to the star and hopes his love would shine and be always there for life and never fade away. As for me, if there is one such true love I want to experience it just as Shakespeare in Sonnet 55 also shares about love that lasts forever. He immortalized his love in a poem. He is no more but his love lives among all of us through his poems. Just as Romeo and Juliet ‘s love that we still talk about and that lives among us till this day. I guess if love does not take one for granted than one such love can exist. Both these poems have touched my heart just as mentioned by Levi as the depth in meaning of these poems is so deep and meaningful.
In Sonnet 64 on the other hand it is the more practical side of love. In this poem Shakespeare talks about love that is not permanent because death separates lovers. Till death do us apart…The vow of love. I understand it perfectly. In life there is no immortality and such is love. Just as the buildings that fall and stones that erode love too is not permanent.
What is love? It is one of the most difficult questions for the mankind. Centuries have passed by, relationships have bloomed and so has love. But no one can give the proper definition of love. To me love is friendship, love is like luck. You have to go all the way to find it. When you have it don’t let it go. Love is patient, love is kind. It has no envy, nor it boasts itself and it is never proud. Love protects; preserves and hopes for the positive aspect of life. It is like the dream of your matter of affection coming true. If this is what love is than I have it all around me. I feel it daily as I live in love, with love and for love.
If love is as beautiful as mentioned above than why is there hatred in love? Why is there hurt in love? Why is love so painful! This is the dichotomy of love. It makes you cry and it makes you laugh. You can’t live without love as it is an inevitable part of a living.
