How Love is Presented Through Media and Music

Love has always been presented as a glamarous dream in music and media for years, For example films such as 'Romeo and Juliet,' and 'Titanic,' etc...show how love is important and that it is worth more than anything else.Songs such as 'Iris,' by the 'Goo Goo Dolls,' uses such lines as

'I dont want the world to see me because i dont think that they'd understand when everythings made to be broken i just want you to know who I am,'

and other songs by people like 'Eric Clapton,Tears in heaven,' show other types of love felt for different people.Love is not always portrayed in its true colours,it always shows us how great love would be and how happy you are in love.But through poetry we see truely how love is and how it isn't always a good thing to have.

*'I wish I could remember' by Christina Rossetti from the eighteenth century.

*'Her spirit' by Paul Mc Cartney from the late  twentieth century.

*'Love poem-Untitled' by E.E Cunnings also twentieth century.

*'First love' by Mick Gower twentith century
