Love (Hamlet (Laertes's love for his father and sister pushed him to…

- - - - "Now and then we would see her at a window for a moment, as the men did that night when they sprinkled the lime, but for almost six months she did not appear on the streets. Then we knew that this was to be expected too; as if that quality of her father which had thwarted her woman's life so many times had been too virulent and too furious to die."
        
        Her father was known to have taken her "woman's life so many times" because he was strict and did not let her be free when she was young. The way she was raised caused her to be protective of what she was finally able to receive- love from Homer Barron.
    - - The whole town knew about her situation and the story being told by an outsider gives a mysterious tone to the characteristics of Emily. Everyone looked at her with pity due to her circumstances.
  - - - Emily poisoned him in order to have him in her embrace forever. She did not want to lose him so she took control and killed him.
- - - - He compared his mother to Niobe, a character in Greek mythology that mourned for the death of her children for eternity. Hamlet thought his mother was cruel for not pausing and mourning for his father but instead, betrayed him by marrying his brother shortly afterwards.
  - - - She suffered a plethora of pain from what Hamlet said to her. He was mad at the moment and dealing with seeing his father's ghost and planning his revenge. Hamlet disregarded her feelings and tells her to go to a nunnery. She realized that she fell for him as she "sucked the honey of his music vows." Shakespeare put Ophelia in this position to highlight Hamlet's madness from having to deal with Claudius after his father's death.
  - - - His search for revenge blinded his judgment and he ended up working for Claudius knowing his intentions against Hamlet.
    - - ACT I SCENE III: "[…] but you must fear,
        His greatness weighed, his will is not his own,
        For he himself is subject to his birth.
        He may not, as unvalued persons do,
        Carve for himself; for on his choice depends
        The safety and health of this whole state.
        And therefore must his choice be circumscribed
        Unto the voice and yielding of that body
        Whereof he is the head. "
        
        Laertes let Ophelia know about the dangers of falling in love and being in a relationship with the Prince. He informed her of the responsibilities he has as a Prince because Laertes knows that she will not be treated well if she were to end up with him.
    - - ACT V SCENE I: Lay her i' th' earth,
        And from her fair and unpolluted flesh
        May violets spring! I tell thee, churlish priest,
        A minist'ring angel shall my sister be
        When thou liest howling.
- - - - Pip goes on to say, "But how could I, a poor dazed village lad, avoid that wonderful inconsistency into which the best and wisest of men fall every day?"
        
        Pip is infatuated and fell so head-over-heels in love for Estella that he was willing to drop his entire life at the forge with Joe and Biddy to rise above the station he was born into.
  - - - Her definition of love is crooked because of the traumatizing experience of being left at the altar that she went through.
  - - - Joe considered Pip as a friend to confide in and took care of Pip while he was sick and paid off Pip's debts even after he left the forge.
    - - Joe wanted to take him in and saw him a little child that he was willing to take care of. He saw Pip as though he was his own flesh and blood. This shows how affectionate Joe was toward Pip and even then Pip became ashamed of his life with Joe after encountering Miss Havisham. His reaction proves where his priorities lie and how immature Pip was to not realize wealth is not everything when he has love from family such as Joe and Biddy.
- - - - She put in lots of effort even in her hallucinations to see Hapsy showing that she really longed and waited to see her child. Granny Weatherall looked forward to spending time with family and throughout the short story, she recounts memories of herself spending time with her kids.
  - - - Granny Weatherall felt the pain to her very last day of life. It was an event that made her feel as though her whole future was stolen from her. She was so hurt that she wanted to prove to George that she did not need him to live the life she wanted and that he did not take everything from her. Therefore, her last breath became her final thoughts on how proud of what happened in her life and owning up to what happened. She had her moment of triumph and happiness before she died.
  - - - This scene foreshadows her death because the light represents her children growing up and being farther away from her but she knew that she did her job as a mother to light those lamps in order for them to go out into the world. She says that they do not have to be scared and hang on to her anymore because she knows she is about to leave this life and she is happy because she knows that they are going to be okay.
