step 2

http://faculty-staff.ou.edu/M/Erika.D.Mitchell-Deluca-1/HephaestusandAphrodite.html

The myth Hephaestus and Aphrodite symbolizes chosen love and forced love. In the myth, hephaestus was given a gift by his parents to marry Aphrodite the most beautiful godess. Altough Hephaestus chose to sccept having Aphrodite as his wife and love her Aphrodite did not love him back.  Aphrodite agreeded to marry Hepaestus because she wanted to please the gods but did not stay faithful to Hepaetus throughout the marraige. This myth shows chosen love because Hepeastus accspeted his parents offer to marry Aphrodite and chose to allow himself to love her. This theme also shows chosen love because Aphrodite chose to be unfaithful and open her heart to love for other men during their marriage. This theme represents forced love because although Aphrodite agreed to the marriage she did not love Hephaesatus she only married him to continue her life with the gods. Aphrodite was forced to love a man she did not truly want to be with and because she was unhappy she did not stay true to the marriage and had affairs with other men.

“Love is not a force between a mind and a body, but a force between two hearts. Your mind and eyes will never tell you when you feel true love, for only your heart can recieve the true love that another heart sends directly to it.”




“Love cannot be forced, love cannot be coaxed and teased. It comes out of heaven, unasked and unsought.” ― Pearl S. Buck
 I found that this quote amazingly described forced love. Love is such a powerful emotion that you cannot force it. Love comes "unasked and unsought"(Buck), you cannot control who you love and do not love you can only control to chose to accept love or ignore it. Being forcd to love one whom you do not love may bring unhappiness and confusion. Allow yourself fall with the one who is meant for you.
Love is as much of an object as an obsession, everybody wants it, everybody seeks it, but few ever achieve it, those who do will cherish it, be lost in it, and among all, never... never forget it....
-Curtis Judalet
I chose this quote to represent the theme of chosen love. I thought this quote best described chosen love because once you chose to accept love into your life it is something that will change your life forever. You chose the path for your life and once choosing love, it is something you will cherish, and never forget.

You never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back.- Barbara De Angelis

What is love? Love is seen and felt in different ways throughout the world.  We see love, hear about love, and some of us are lucky enough to feel love. We cannot live with it. Love is a feeling that people fail to describe but there is one thing we all should know, you cannot be forced to love we simply must fall.
