- Un/Requited love
- Correlli and Pelagia (requited)
- Their love is engaging because it suffers from societal restrictions whilst being requited
- "Pelagia's tears rolled down her cheeks and fell into the bucket amongst the snails. "You're drowning them"
- Traditional greek society/ conquered v conquerer
- "infinitely enclosed in their first unpatriotic and secret kiss"
- victims of their time
- Their love is engaging because it suffers from societal restrictions whilst being requited
- Carlo and Francesco (unrequited)
- Engaging because Carlo can't confess his love because of societal restrictions
- victims of their time
- Engaging because Carlo can't confess his love because of societal restrictions
- The Sun Rising (requited)
- Their love is wholly requited and blissful
- Clever conceits of lovers being at centre of world
- "She is all states and all princes I"
- sense of domination?
- BUT worrying lack of female perspective & very boastful
- "She is all states and all princes I"
- Daisy and Gatsby (requited)
- Requited yet highly flawed
- Daisy values money and materialism over her love for Gatsby and so will always choose Tom
- Daisy is too materialistic and money driven to give up her life with Tom
- That's why Gatsby's relationship with Daisy will always fail
- Gatsby is stuck in the past; like the broken clock
- Idolises Daisy and can't see past her fundamental flaws
- She lacks depth, she is artificial, destructive, flighty and inconsistent
- Link to Mandras' deification of Pelagia as destroying their rship
- "The dream of Pelagia was better then Pelagia herself"
- "Daisy tumbled short of his dreams...because of the colossal significance of his illusion"
- Idolises Daisy and can't see past her fundamental flaws
- Daisy is fickle and did love Tom once
- "Oh you want too much! I did love him once but I loved you too"
- Lack of female perspective discounts the idea of wholly requited and perfect love
- BUT worrying lack of female perspective & very boastful
- Lack of female perspective discounts the idea of wholly requited and perfect love
- "Oh you want too much! I did love him once but I loved you too"
- Requited yet highly flawed
- The Definition of Love
- Marvell can't be with Mary Fairfax because of class barriers
- Describes the definition of love to be their restricted love
- They are "truly parallel"
- Their love is "begotten by despair upon responsibility"
- But lack of female perspective leads reader to question how perfect they are
- Lack of female perspective discounts the idea of wholly requited and perfect love
- Lack of female perspective discounts the idea of wholly requited and perfect love
- "Magnanimous despair" is what showed him a love so "divine"
- But shouldn't being in love = being happy and content like The Sun Rising?
- The Sun Rising (requited)
