Conclusion

About This Assignment
I have put a lot of effort into this blog to make it more helpful and interesting to visitors. Overall I am satisfied, but I wish I could have changed a few things in order to improve my blog. Perhaps I should have included some facts about the authors in the posts and some reviews about the literary works by professional critics. Also, I tried to use as many visual aids as possible, but I do not think there were enough of them.

I really enjoyed doing this assignment. Writing about my interpretations of literary works felt as if I was writing a journal, so it was a lot of fun. I also enjoyed watching different video productions of literary works. To write my personal responses, I had to reread all of the works, which provided me with a new insight to many of them. I feel that I have broadened my knowledge of different works of literature through this assignment.


Conclusion

This blog only examines ten to fifteen works out of thousands or maybe even millions of literary works about love and hatred. Yet I believe that they are sufficient to have a general idea of how love and hatred are portrayed in literature. I have discussed works about pure love, such as "How Do I Love Thee Let Me Count the Ways," works about both love and hatred, such as "A Rose for Emily," and lastly the depressing works about pure hatred, best represented by Edgar Allan Poe's short stories.

To conclude, what I found interesting while examining the portrayal of love and hatred in literature is that the feelings of love and hatred have remained the same for centuries. When one is in love, the whole world changes completely, everything revolves around the person he or she loves, and it feels like your love is going to last forever. This was true for a person in the 16th century and is still the same for someone living in the present day. Maybe love is eternal after all.
