Introduction

"Love and hatred" has been the subject of examination for centuries, yet it still remains a mystery. Over centuries writers have written about love, but people never seem to get tired of love stories! In this blog, I will explore how love and hatred are portrayed in different works of English literature.

For those of you who came to look for information about an author or a literary work, you will be disappointed. Wikipedia and Sparknotes offer tons of that. As you read my posts, you will discover that this blog is concerned more about my personal opinions than about facts, which means that much information in this blog may be incorrect or objectionable. Thus, please feel free to make any corrections or objections to my interpretations of the literary works.

I classified the posts into four different categories―—A, B, C, D. Here's an explanation of each category.

A. Introduction: It's what you are reading right now!
B. Course Materials: Posts under this label deal with texts or writers we have covered in this course.
C. Other Materials: They are about works or writers other than those we have covered in this course. I tried to vary in my choice of works as much as possible (even if there are only three posts)―—from classics, such as Wuthering Heights, to modern day literature. This variation serves to show how the view and portrayal of love and hatred have changed over time.
D. Conclusion: That's pretty much self-explanatory. It sums up everything in this blog.
