Note 3 anthology proj.


After thinking about my topic (love) for a while, i decided the most interesting expression of love to me was a song. In this Taylor swift song "Love Story", she expresses her feelings throughout the years for a guy. She starts off explaining how she’s known him since they were young. She even remembers the first time she saw him. She goes on to discuss their accounts overtime. She compares their relationship to that of Romeo and Juliet, the theme of forbidden love is paralleled here. It makes the listener wonder; will it ever work out? The last part of the song ends up working out for them, and the song is able to change moods several times through to lyrics. Starting out with excitement and happiness when she first meets and transforming into sorrow and regret that things aren’t working out, and finally ending in overall joy and happiness. This might have been a version of something that actually happened to the author or maybe just something she wishes would have happened. Readers, Listeners, viewers, etc. can never really know the meaning of a piece but we can begin to analyze our own understanding of the work.
