Love It's a mysterious thing

The love poems this round were very interesting. Probably more confusing than interesting. I found that Hacker Villanelle may have been the easiest to understand and even than a little confusing. Her poem seemed to be more about all the phases that we go through in love and love making only to always seperate. I do think that the confusion is kinda of a good think since love more often than not is just confusing. I think that's why love is said to be blind. Love is a great feeling but easily misunderstood.

Why do we write about love?

I think we write about love for a lot of the same reasons we write about death. We write in order to express our emotions and what we see and go through everyday. But I think that death and love are probably the two most written about topics because they tend bring out our strongest emotions. Love is believed by many to be the one thing that transcends death. In many ways love is all encompassing in both death and life it moves for good or evil. That is why I think we write so much about love because you can't escape it.

Why is Hamlet a tragedy?

Hamlet is a tragedy because the story leads to the death of the hero and everyone he cares for. Although the Hero Hamlet does exact some revenge. He catches the King in his own treachery. He than makes the King drink from his own cup of death. Even though they all die tragically Hamlet does have the opportunity before his death to see his enemies lies revealed. This event made the story a little less dark. Had it ended with the King living and getting a way with everything than that would have really been twisted. Fortunately it didn't end that way. I think we all like to take hope in the fact that the King didn't get away with everything. That little fact puts some moral to the story and lets us feel that evil won't conquer good.
