- Obsessive Love
- The Great Gatsby
- Who so List to Hount I knowe where is an hynde- Sir Thomas Wyatt
- "faynting I followe"
- "the vayne travail hath weried me so sore" - negative consequence of obsessive love is that it is very tiring. Perhaps the narrator loses his manlihood by giving up the chase- "faynting" perhaps criticism -seen as feminine- product of courtly love context
- Wyatt was accused of loving Anne Boleyn.
- Unrequited love- leads to his and men in generals obsession. It fuels the 'chase'
- The obsessive love doesn't actually gain the narrator the deer- like in Great Gatsby.
- "faynting I followe"
- Nick is obsessed with Gatsby and Gatsby is obsessed with Daisy and Tom is obsessed with Myrtle
- Myrtles husband is obsessed with getting justice for myrtle by killing her murderer- driven by love and anger
- Green light symbolises Gatsby obsessive love for Daisy- does it go out at the end when he dies?
- Who so List to Hount I knowe where is an hynde- Sir Thomas Wyatt
- Remember- Christina Rossetti
- The narrator is obsessed about her lover remembering after she dies.
- "remember me when I am gone away"
- Repetition of "remember" reinforces obsession
- "only remember me" - imperative command
- Not romantic its creepy
- "remember me when I am gone away"
- Focused on death throughout " silent land" whereas other two end with un forseen death
- Religious context- very religious- remember is about her obsession of acceptance through love- of herself and of the fallen women she cared for.
- The narrator is obsessed about her lover remembering after she dies.
- The Great Gatsby
