Enduring Love Ending Essay
Before I end this, I just want to say one thing.
I fucking love cliched love stories.
Give 'em to me saucy, sweet, spicy, and tear–filled. In fact, the worse the plot, the better. The
incredible part of these horrible romances; Predicting the ending is as easy as walking. Accordingly,
they often end up something like this: The boy makes some monstrous mistake, rendering the girl
heartbroken and angry. Consequently the guy realizes just how much he loves her, and performs
some ridiculously elaborate act to make her love him again, which of course succeeds, ending the
movie with the beautiful couple licking each others tongues at prom.
Ahh, sweet predictability. I should have been more grateful for it, before my life became one giant
shit–storm.

Enduring Love Chapter 10 Summary
If any objections had been raised regarding his marriage to Rose, Alyn had not been made aware of
them, and so as the afternoon drew on, the two of them stood before the doors of the small wooden
church, Rose on the left and Alyn on the right. Father Twain stood before them just outside the
doors, paid for the marriage with a loan from Lord Porter and now garbed in his priestly vestments, a
gray ankle–length tunic called an alb, with sleeveless brown chasuble overtop and wheat–brown
stole around his shoulders. The day's fine drizzle had broken and the sun gleamed on the cold,
sodden village with its mud–slicked square and dark–stained wooden and clay buildings. Alyn
remained in his battered and dented mail and plate, with a thin and billowy pale surcoat belted
above in addition to sword and dagger which he had also borrowed from Lord Porter for the
occasion. Rose had conjured up yet another dress, bright white and of thick, sturdy weave with a high

Rose glanced aside to him and ducked her own hurriedly as Father Twain began, "Oh Eternal God,
creator and preserver of all mankind, giver of all spiritual grace, the author of everlasting life,
send thy blessing upon these thy servants, this man and this woman, whom we bless in thy name,
so these persons may surely perform and keep the vows and covenants betwixt them made,
whereof these rings given and received are a token and pledge, and may ever hereafter remain in
perfect love and peace together, and live according to thy laws, through our Lord. Amen," he said,
"Ye may rise," and Alyn grunted as he shoved the weight of himself and his armor back to his feet,
drawing Rose up as

Obsession in Enduring Love Essay
Explore the ways in which McEwan presents obsession in Enduring Love
The theme of obsession is found in many different forms in Enduring
Love. McEwan uses language and the presentation of the characters to explore the many different
types of obsession. The most obvious obsession in the novel is Jed's obsession with Joe. As a reader,
we find this perhaps the most disturbing because of the intensity with which it is presented. At the
opening of the novel, immediately after the accident, Joe walks down the hill to inspect Logan's
body and is closely followed by Jed. McEwan uses language to great effect to convey Jed's obsession
with religion and Jed's dialogue to show his eagerness to pray. 'I mean you don't have to believe in
...show more content...
Jed's strange behaviour towards Joe intensifies with his religious fervour.
McEwan demonstrates this in their second meeting. We begin to understand Jed's reasoning and
motivation for needing Joe to pray.
'The purpose is to bring you to the Christ that is in you and that is you' Placing emphasis on the
word 'purpose' shows Jed's intent and ultimately the motivation behind his pursual of Joe. In a sense,
Jed is using his beliefs as justification for his obsession.
McEwan displays Jed's need for Joe through the quotation 'He was watching my face with a kind of
hunger, as desperation.' 'Hunger' and
'desperation' give the reader a sense of the insatiable passion that
Jed feels for Joe. McEwan also presents Jed's obsession through the use of letters. These act rather
like a soliloquy would and we are able to see the character of Jed without Joe's perception as the
narrator. The letters are perhaps the most disturbing part of the obsession as McEwan reveals
Jed's raw emotion. 'Joe, Joe, Joe....I'll confess, I covered five sheets of paper with your name.' The
use of repetition emphasises Joe as the subject of Jed's obsession and the action of writing his
name over sheet of paper is a sign of immaturity. 'Does it horrify that I can see through you so
easily?' A rhetorical question appeals directly to the reader as we see events through Joe's eyes and
reveal an insidious side to Jed's

In Chapter 10, it's about winning. Everyone loves to win; it brings satisfaction within ourselves.
No one like to lose; when losing it takes a troll on your emotions. The first story is about a strict
Christian family. The father was a well liked person who believe he had the last say due to him
being the only male of the family. Him and he wife raised two girls they were smart and was an
example of a good christian. Being raised in a strict family it took hold of the girls because the
father believed he was always right and females should submit. After the girls graduation both
decided to leave home without the parents knowledge. The parents believed satan took over the girls
mind. They believed their style of raising their two daughter

Love Is A Powerful Feeling Essay
Love is a powerful feeling; it makes you do crazy thing. Many people spend years trying to find it,
others give up thinking they'll never find it. Love has been defined as an intensive feeling of a deep
romantic or sexual attachment to someone. Of course, Love doesn 't have to romantic and/or sexual.
People who are ace, as in asexual, aromantic and agender, can still be in relationships that are
satisfying for them without the needs of a romantic relationship. Familial love is also
non–romantic–sexual. However, in this paper, we will be talking about romantic–sexual love, what it
is, and why I believe it's so important to understand and experience. Like I mentioned in the
paragraph above love is usually defined as an intensive feeling of a deep romantic or sexual
attachment to someone, however love is a bit more complicated than that. Love is special, it's unique
in it's attitude and behavioral components, it's a phenomenon that eludes easy definition (Our
Sexuality, 2012). Love has always been a complicated subject; sometimes love is fickle, sometimes
love isn't love, but rather pure infatuation. Infatuation is often mistaken for love, however it is only a
short lived but intense passion for someone. It's possible that since many infatuations are mistaken
love that many researches regarding the measurements of love would include individuals infatuated
with each other. In one possible case, a man named Zick Rubin wished to measure love and liking.
He set up 13 questions

Enduring Love Chapter Summaries
Chapter four ends near the start of part two of the book. Lola is talking in first person and we are
told how she quits most of the activities such as track and school. She also sleeps with a man for
two thousand dollars which she later gives to her ex boyfriend's family, max, who died in an accident.
The story is take back to 1944 in chapter five. We are introduced to a surgeon named Abelard. The
surgeon has two daughters, one of which hits puberty and becomes attractive. narrator emphasizes
that with Trujillo being a dictator, all women are for his taking. One day at an event, Trujillo asks
why Abelard does not bring his daughters. The surgeon replies that they have mustaches and
Trujillo goes on his way. We are again reminded of the power Trujillo holds and suggests that
Abelard just needs to lay low to protect his family. Trujillo invites the whole family for a party,
however, on the day of the party, Abelard...show more content...
Theme of this section is consequential love. Having to defend his daughter from the dictator,
Abelard had to lie and commit an offence which lead to his imprisonment.
The idea and theme of war is also introduced with the atomic bombs being dropped on Hiroshima.
The story of Abelard is itself a reference to the preface as it continues to emphasize on the Fuku
curse; Suggesting that this curse has lived on for many years before and has caused harm in many
lives. This again acts as a frameshift narrative as the story within a story helps underline the
emphasise on one of the main idea of the story which is the Fuku. By telling the reader multiple
examples of the Fuku in action it really drives the point of its lethal effects home.
With all the different stories being told, one thing that does not change is the fact the Trujillo is
somehow connected to all of this. In this case he plays the role of the main instigator of the chaos
which lead to Abelard protecting his

Ian McEwan's Enduring Love Essay
Ian McEwan's Enduring Love
Evident throughout the entire plot of 'Enduring Love', Ian McEwan fuses three different genres:
love story, detective story and thriller. Each genre I believe has a set of expectations that captures
the reader urging them to read on, for example a thriller genre would stereotypically be led by a fast,
tense pace with characters easily identifiable as 'goodies' and 'baddies'. Different, fresh and 'novel'
McEwan establishes his break up of typical genres as he mixes the elements of the three main genres
and purposely doesn't stick to their rigid framework that many authors swear by. It is however
important to assess to what extent that McEwan successfully combines these genres and how
effective his...show more content...
"...nor have I discovered, who let go first. I'm not prepared to accept that it was me." Allowing
McEwan to alter his focus in genre smoothly without disturbing the action of the plot, Joe is used as
narrator to slow and quicken up the pace of the action leading the reader into sub–plot discussions in
a way of tempting the reader by delaying the action. "I'm holding back...I'm lingering in the prior
moment", this allows McEwan to drift from one genre to the other by Joe's constant referral to other
topics prior to the action.
Creating mystery, McEwan portrays the 'thriller' genre with much emphasis on it's typical
characteristics. "...poking through the long grass and the nettles were the skeletons and entrails of
half a dozen motorbikes". This is constructed by vividly expressing the gory details as McEwan uses
human imagery to demonstrate the image of the motorbikes. Lucidly focusing on portraying this
genre McEwan incorporates a suggestion of menace, "Johnny B...a shaved head and a small waxed
moustache dyed with henna", referring to casual, gangster nicknames. It is clear by the context of
this chapter and it's escalating pace throughout that the thriller genre is manifested,
"when the door snapped open....momentarily silhouetting figure who stood in the doorway".
Expressing this thriller genre throughout chapter 21 and 22 McEwan intends to create

Enduring Love Analysis
Similarly, Melanie tries to escape the patriarchal nature of Philip who "can't abide a woman in
trousers...'no make–up, mind. And only speak, when your spoken to. He likes, you know, silent
women."(P. 62–23) He tries to put Melanie in place of the swan in his show and treat her like a
puppet. "Philip's voice...moved dark and sonorous against the moaning of the fiddle. The swan
made a lumpish jump forward and settled on her loins. She thrust with all her force to get rid of
it...the gilded beak dug deeply into the soft flesh. She screamed hardly realizing she was screaming.
The obscene swan had mounted her." (p.165–167) This scene is very disturbing as Philip tries to
take Melanie's sexual agency away, making the tone of this episode is very dark

Enduring Love Act 2 Scene 1 Analysis
In this scene out of the book, the grandmother, Red Sammy, and Red Sammy's wife spark up a
conversation with each other. The conversation explains how you can't trust anyone anymore. Red
Sammy says, "These days you don't know who to trust." While the grandmother states," People are
certainty not nice like they used to be." (450). The wife goes to get their guests drinks; Red Sam
reminisces the times when he could leave the screen door unlatched. But now, it is impossible to
find a good man. (450). That leads the reader to be reminded about the first conflict, the escaped
convict, Misfit. (450). This scene advances the theme by showing the reader the person you are
trusting could be someone who should not be trusted.

Enduring Love Chapter Summaries
Chapter One
Larissa Jordan was a peppy young girl, especially for one who grew up on the Black Isles of
Doracha. As a child, she had never been told of the island's' dark history, nor had she been told of
the reasons why families were forced to move away from the mainlands and onto the Isles. And
what you don't know can't hurt you. At least, that's what Larissa's parents believed; and for twelve
years, twelve blissfully peaceful years, they appeared to be correct. Of course, in those twelve
years, a lot of things happened. Larissa played in the mud, she caught frogs and lightning bugs. She
explored forests and swam in lakes. She learned to boat on the sea. She ran through the meadows,
she read books– so many books! She laughed, she cried, and...show more content...
The townspeople knew this too, and immediately started rounding up the children into homes and
shutting their doors.
"Larissa, come on inside, sweetie," her father called from the porch.
"Daddy, it's still light out," Larissa whined. "Can't I stay out a bit longer?"
"Sweetheart, we know you want to play, but you need to come in." Her mother smiled at her from
the doorway. "I've made hot chocolate." It was a lie, of course. Hot chocolate was a delicacy in
those times, especially in such a far away land as Scotland, but anything to keep Larissa, their one
joy, safe.
"Mum, please let me stay out a while longer?"
"Larissa, come inside, please." The sounds of the pirates were getting closer, and Larissa's mother
couldn't keep the fear out of her voice.
Larissa could hear her the fear in her mother's voice. She could also hear the sounds of the pirates.
She figured she should, perhaps, let the matter go and run inside. But she was so far away from the
house, and the pirates were quickly approaching, and Larissa was so small, and her legs weren't long
enough, and she couldn't run too fast,

Tom had been on edge all day, more nervous than when he'd realised that he'd fallen truly in love
with a woman, and plucked up the courage to ask Lila to marry him. Now, they were to return to the
venue of his proposal, under vastly different circumstances. An effort to keep that marriage alive.
He hoped that the taste of mint overpowered that of alcohol; just a couple of beers for Dutch
Courage; as they shared a soft kiss, and when she exited the bathroom a deep breath escaped his
lips, elicited by the visage before him. This was the woman he loved and, as he'd done for the past
month, he told himself that the fire she'd ignited could be quenched by continuing to visit
prostitutes. Lila need not be aware, and in the end, it was for her benefit. A man could justify any
act if he desired to commit it enough.
With his wife in a great mood, and eagerly anticipating a romantic dinner, the ride to Zefferelli's
proceeded smoothly, and they exchanged conversation with ease. When they entered, Tom held the
door open, then placed his arm around her waist, and his heart swelled with pride at the admiring
glances she attracted. His wife.. Tom, whose dark gray suit had crumpled a little, and lilac tie come
un–knotted, didn't receive the same appreciative reception, however, he'd caught a glance of himself

to the fear of the law because of Estrella's actions in the previous chapter. After seeing Perfecto in
this state of mind Petra goes to pray. After praying she drops her statue of Jesus which triggers her

Mark's expression was one of supreme confidence and satisfaction as he revealed himself to Lila,
and attempted to gauge her thoughts. The rapist thought he perceived a gliimmer of recognition
and shock but, even if so, those emotions could also have been put down to the damage from the
the appearance of a second male, the damage caused by his punch, or the cock that slammed into
her from behind. Whatever, she'd seen his face, and in her mind somewhere, must have
recognised it as the one of the friendly stranger who'd elicited an orgasm and cries of pleasure as
he screwed her against the Hotel wall. The very same man who'd stalked her for months, inspired
her own husband to rape her, and destroyed her marriage, were the very same. Mark said no more,

as he roughly forced his erect meat down her throat. "Suck it, bitch." The...show more content...

AN: I think I've made it too dramatic so far, so I'm going to tread away from those waters for now.
It's still the beginning of the story and I don't want to push every single twist I have in the start of
it. For now, beware of the fluff. I'm keeping it light to put less stress on the readers and the
characters in the story. I'll leave it a bit lighthearted for now before more drama, and the eventual

of The Goat: Albee's play demands that it's about something past domestic disputes that will be
cordoned off and also hidden from the world – even though it's about that as well. We view that the
individual is political, yes, however a little more: that what is secrete about our lives just comes to
have significance as we come into the public society circle and this public circle enters us (Robinson,
2011). Eventually, as Robinson mentions, The Goat is intended to influence both the macro and
micro society's levels in a manner that inspires continuous thinking even in doubtful

Enduring Love Essay
The breaking point of Scobie starting to feel overly compassionate about Louise seems to be the
death of their daughter Catherine; ever since, he is not able to love anybody else, only through pity.
It is very likely that he once truly loved Louise but throughout the book, his only feeling towards her
is "pity love," a term used by Greene himself, and the exceptional feeling of responsibility for her
happiness. "Louise said, 'I've known it for years. You don't love me.' ... 'That's your conscience,'
she said, 'your sense of duty. You've never loved anyone since Catherine died'" (Greene 57). At one
point in the novel, he is feeling truly at peace when he believes to have made given Louise what she
wanted – to leave. "I've prayed for peace and...show more content...
It is evident he feels it his duty to make his wife happy, yet not out of love, but out of pity. His
feeling of pity then becomes extended to another woman, with whom he begins an adulterous
affair. As opposed to most literary characters, "Scobie's becoming an adulterer is not brought
about by sexuality or a love of beauty. But rather it is the result of a sense of pity and
responsibility that he feels towards the helpless victims" (Keerthi 124). Scobie himself does not
seem to be an overtly sexual character; he blames this on his age but it seems as though pity has
replaced any other feelings he might have ever been capable of feeling towards another human
being. During an intimate moment with Helen, he notes: "He was more than thirty years older: his
body in this climate had lost the sense of lust: he watched her with sadness and affection and
enormous pity" (Greene 151–2). This feeling of "pity loves", that he feels for both Louise and Helen
equally, makes him certain that either of them would be doomed to eternal loneliness without him,
hence he continues to provide them both with this pity love, which simultaneously makes him
remain in

Enduring Love Chapter 1 Analysis
The principles from this chapter that I am going to focus on are forgiving and serving others.
Showing forgiveness and mercy towards others is vital in marriage and family life. When we
have grace towards everyone around us we will inevitably have more love in our lives and
relationships. If we are struggling forgiving a spouse it is important to serve them. When we serve
others it will help bring joy to the person serving and the one being served. If we learn to forgive
and serve in our marriages there will be more love and less contention.
In this chapter the principle I am going to focus on is that all relationship have issues, but if we
have softer hearts the couple can overcome their struggles. When problems arise in a marriage it is
important to work through them, with your spouse, and do not give up. A person can choose to
divorce and move on to another relationship, but this relationship will have its own set of different
problems. No relationship will ever be perfect. When...show more content...
When partners appreciate one another it helps the relationship grow and improve, when they
continuously correct one another it slowly destroys it. If a partner is doing something that angers the
other, they need to fix themselves and love their partner. Focusing on the positive of partners will
build couples closer together instead of driving them apart.
In chapter five a principle that stood out to me is that infidelity is a great iniquity of our
generation. In the world I feel like sex is becoming less valued and sacred. In marriage partners
should be faithful to their spouse physically, mentally, and emotionally. When each partner does this
they are protecting their relationship from emotional heartache that comes from betrayal. When
partners in a marriage water their relationship and give it the attention it needs more joy will be
found and infidelity is less likely to
