Abstract
This paper compares "Jane Eyre" and "Pride and Prejudice" as a way to explore the social customs of Victorian England. Specifically, these two novels express the conflicts of love and passion with the social rules for courtship and marriage. Both novels portray how social expectations of behavior contradict the personal emotions of relationships and how these produce great emotional struggles that must be reconciled. In an era where passion and marriage are not enabled in the social sphere of Victorian customs, love becomes a conflict.

Marriage in "Pride and Prejudice", 2008.

Abstract
The paper identifies Jane Austen's perspective on marriage in her personal life, Charlotte Lucas' views on marriage, and the views of other characters in "Pride and Prejudice". The paper discusses the different feelings regarding marriage and posits that, ultimately, each person has the right to choose his own path. The paper concludes that Jane Austen marvelously captures the struggle of the heart and the mind in the quest for love and fulfillment.
From the Paper
"Jane Austen's perspective on marriage in her personal life is opposite to that of Charlotte Lucas. Furthermore the novel Pride and Prejudice was written in a period where marriage was considered as securing a social position that would benefit both families involved. The concept of love rarely entered the equation of courtship and marriage (www.pemberley.com). This perspective is clearly evident when Austen was the same age as Charlotte Lucas and given a proposal of marriage by "Harris Bigg-Wither...But in spite of the temptation of marriage ...She decided not to marry him without love" (Grey, 1986: 287)."

Abstract
This paper examines how although renowned Italian poet Francesco Petrarch died long before Shakespeare began writing, his image of love remained a constant preoccupation in much of Shakespeare's work. It discusses how Shakespeare's mockery of love is often pivotal to his comic plots and how nowhere can this be seen as aptly as in "Much Ado About Nothing". It looks at how Shakespeare presents his audience with a powerful satire of contemporary etiquette through the battlefield of courtship. It will explores this courtship battle by examining both Shakespeare's text and Kenneth Branagh's 1993 film version of the play.

Neurocreation, 2008.
A look at the proposed life of a jelly fish thousands of feet below sea level.

Abstract
This paper proposes a jellyfish living at 3,000 feet below the surface of the sea. It describes the key functions of this jellyfish, including procreation, locomotion, fight or flight, courtship, distance (smell) and touch (taste) reception. The paper concludes that the jellyfish described in the paper is able to combine most of the senses, locomotory impulses, sexual behavior and eating of more sophisticated organisms with a fairly straightforward and primitive nerve system. The paper includes an image of the jellyfish, several illustrations, and a table.
Outline:
Introduction
Primary Morphology of the jellyfish
Morphology of the Jellyfish
Anatomy of Major Cell Groups
Muscle Cells
Eyes
Skeletal Cells
Tentacles
Feeding, Locomotion, Courtship, Fight or Flight
Nerve Action: Smell
Central Nervous System Morphology
Proprioceptive Nerve Impulses
Vision Nervous Response and Courtship/Mating
Feeding and Satiety
Locomotion Detection
Conclusion
Bibliography
From the Paper
"When the jellyfish tentacles touch a body, sense (taste) elements determine if it is food or a predator. It will sting whatever it comes in contact with; the chemicals in the poison are predigestion chemicals, which combine with the cells of the stung creature in a way that breaks cell membranes and releases chemicals which the sensory (taste) bundles in the tips of the tentacles can use to determine if the creature is food or a predator. In the case of a predator, the jellyfish will not activate the "bring to stomach" mode; in the case of food, the jellyfish activates muscles which cause contraction of the tentacles, which are attached to the prey via the physical hooks of the stingers. The default is "food," in which case poison darts are injected and the food is pulled up to the gut. The morphology of the tentacles is such that, by contracting, the tentacles automatically move towards the gut in a coordinated fashion."

Rochester and Darcy, 2005.

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to compare and contrast the courtship styles of Rochester in Charlotte Bronte's novel, "Jane Eyre," and Mr. Darcy in Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice". It shows that, although the style and tactics in courtship were wielded differently by Rochester and Mr. Darcy in their pursuit of the women that they loved, patience did play a large part in both men's characters.
From the Paper
"Both Bronte's Jane Eyre and Austen's Pride and Prejudice are in the style of romance and naturally are based around the workings and events expressed within the romance. Bronte's Jane Eyre is a story of a young orphan who manages to find her way in the world because she was abused to the point of having nothing left but to stand up for herself and is a story of opposites such as would be ice and fire which are symbolized throughout the story. Austen's Pride and Prejudice is a story of several daughters of a 'near' upper class family whose estate will not stay with the daughters but revert to a cousin upon the death of their father."

Abstract
This paper analyzes Marge Piercy's poem, "A Story Wet as Tears", and explains that it depicts how marriage is not always what it seems. The paper then cites lines and examples from the poem to discuss the tone, figures of speech, and vivid imagery used in the poem. The paper suggests that Piercy's poem truly shows how, "though courtship turns frogs into princes, marriage turns them slowly back."
From the Paper
"The first line of the poem, "Remember the princess who kissed the frog so he became a prince?" takes us back to our childhood, when we listened to fairytales, and the optimistic outlook we had on life. We thought that everything we do in the future would always have a happy ending. "At first they danced all weekend, toasted each other in the morning with coffee, with champagne at night and always with kisses." This line explains how in the beginning of courtship everything is done to light a romantic flame and keep it alight. The champagne and kisses seem to represent a cliche version of romance and love that a marriage cannot solely be based on. "

Estrus in Humans, 2005.
Examines why humans do not display estrus, a phenomenon whereby the female exhibits certain physiological changes and emits secretions to attract the male for reproductive purposes.

Abstract
Animals do not engage in human courtship rituals, asking potential partners for dates and engaging in long, sensitive conversations in an attempt to win over their trust. Instead, animals mate almost mechanically, often at set times of the year known as 'mating seasons,' in which the females enter into a hormonally induced period known as estrus, designed to attract males in order to ensure the birth of a new offspring of litter. The paper shows that such mating rituals would prove rather unsuitable for humans, since the idea of women entering a similar state of estrus is ludicrous, not to mention detrimental to the organization and smooth running of society. Indeed, civilization would become quite vulnerable if all its attentions turned to mating at certain times of the year. The paper shows that to ensure its successful existence, humans have lost this display of estrus, instead resorting to the more familiar mating rituals such as dating and wooing to ensure reproduction through a singularly pleasant means. Furthermore, reproduction among humans can theoretically take place at any time. This paper explores the phenomenon of estrus and why humans have lost this overt phenomenon, so essential to most other species.
From the Paper
"The mechanics of animal reproduction usually distinguish between attractivity, proceptivity, and receptivity. Attractivity is the degree of attractions a female elicits in males, proceptivity is the female's use of signs to elicit a male's interest in reproduction, and receptivity defines how females respond to males' reproductive leads (4). In animals which exhibit estrus, these elements occur almost mechanically when a female enters estrus, or heat. In humans, however, Harris theorizes that human reproduction has evolved into a process-oriented rather than product-oriented system (4). Harris explains that "human courtship is a process that occurs over time and is the result of the behavior of both interactants" (4)."

A Paradoxical University System, 2008.
This paper discusses a paradoxical University system present in the United Arab Emirates.

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) represent a most interesting case in the context of modern education. The writer notes that as one proceeds with a literature review designed to address the role played by the university system in the UAE, it is clear that this is a context which should be considered key to the future of a part of the Persian Gulf rife with promise. Indeed, the writer maintains that if the UAE is to live up to the potential suggested by its vast wealth, it must find ways to improve the social and political conditions that overshadow much of the progress implied by its economy. Moreover, the writer argues that the UAE must alter its orientation toward its indigenous population, which it seems often is given short-shrift to the courtship of foreign business students. The literature review here is intended to reveal the current circumstances and future needs of the UAE university system.
Outline:
Introduction
Literature Review
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Technology and communication have fueled its capacity not just to be a purveyor of a valuable world resource--a disposition which has genuinely seen to the destructive exploitation of so many nations in the 'developing' and 'undeveloped' spheres--but also as a willing and able partner in the implementation of the global trade process.
"Its educational orientation must be led by the central Ministry of Education and the administration of Sheikh Mohammed, which are charged with the duty of ensuring that the students coming out of school are not simply prepared to contend with the complex global obligations of the workforce, but who are additionally oriented to take the UAE forward as a global competitor in the production of innovation. In order to do so, it must, of course, act according to the mores of a global economy, which demands the presence of women in all forms and at every level. An absence hereof may cause a strain on the relationship between this and western counterparts where cultural and social parameters demand explicated equal protections for the rights of women."

T.S. Eliot vs. Andrew Marvell, 2003.
This paper reviews and analyzes the similarities and differences in T.S. Eliot's poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" and Andrew Marvell's writings in "To His Coy Mistress."

Abstract
This paper focuses on the themes of love, courtship and romance as depicted in both poems. The writer points out the different approaches each poet applies in his work to convey the same message. The writer contends and explains the manner in which Marvell's protagonist is impulsive and eager to explore his love for his mistress while Eliot's main character is much more at ease, relaxed and at peace with his love interest. The writer analyzes the plot and main characters in both works of writing. The writer also clearly explains why Eliot's poem is dark, mysterious and at times even depressing while Marvell's more upbeat work gives the reader a feeling of hope and something to look forward to.
From the Paper
"Reading these two poems together is helpful because they show that different poets can handle the same theme in very different ways. Love seems like a universal theme in poetry, music, and literature. No one has the same experiences in love as another person, and so, every person's outlook and thoughts will be special, and these two poems creatively illustrate that. This helps the reader understand the many tones of poetry and literature. It also shows how no two authors could ever write about exactly the same thing in exactly the same way. People are unique, and so is how they present their material to the world. It also shows that love and courtship are universal issues that men face throughout time. No matter what happens, men and women will fall in love and write about their experiences, and these poems show that while the experiences and ideas may be different, the topic will always endure."

"Marriage", 2005.
This paper examines Gregory Corso's famous poem "Marriage."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines Gregory Corso's famous poem "Marriage"; Corso's speaker is disillusioned by the convention of marriage, which seems incompatible--or at least in conflict--with the uniqueness and individuality of his generation. It explains how the speaker explores courtship and three forms of the matrimonial state: from the perspectives of the rich, poor and middle class. Criticizing popular (and unintelligent) culture, he examines the stereotypical forms of marriage; after determining the pros and cons of each, he decides to wait "up to 2,000 years" to find the woman who will transcend popular culture and engage him spiritually, sexually, interpersonally and intellectually. After this funny but serious debate, he refuses to compromise love for the mere comforts and conveniences of conventional marriage.
From the Paper
"Gregory Corso uses a confluence of sarcasm and wit to criticize the disillusionment of the individual caused by various social constructs in American society. Corso manages to infuse humor in this long criticism of the sacred institution of marriage without losing either his credibility or the audience's attention-readers from across the intellectual spectrum are attracted to the captivating combination of gravity and levity in Marriage. Corso's humor is indeed structured to add to the poem's seriousness by raising a series of profound and absurd questions regarding the mutual exclusivity of love and marriage."
