Isn't Love

    


 In Canto V of Dante Inferno  Francesca say's "love, which permits no loved one not love, took me so strongly with delight in him." In this quote she is blaming love for her actions. The idea of you can't help who you love came to mind. I believe that it is true that you can't help who you love.In the dictionary the meaning of love is a deep ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude towards a person. For example, in Romeo and Juliet Romeo fell in love with Juliet the moment he saw her at the Capulet's ball. Romeo was willing to do anything just to be with the one he loved. Another example will be how Aria Montgomery from Pretty Little Liars fell in the with her English teacher Ezra Fitz, and now struggles to get over him. Love is something you can't avoid this is why I believe that you can't help who you love.
