 //Making Love to Atributes//

//Key Things to know// //In 1960's classic romance/comedy musical Let's Make Love, Marilyn Monroe plays the role of an actress/ singer whose character name is Amanda Dell. Actor Yves Mont plays the role Jean-Marc Clement who is a billionaire, he is confused as one of the actors and takes the identity in order to see more of Amanda. In the play Taming of the Shrew the young seemly perfect young women named Bianca has two suitors already but one individual named// Lucentio who disguises himself as Biancas latin teacher in order to spend more time with her, he expresses that the moment he saw her he fell in love and would do anything to get her.

//Loving someone for what creates him or her can be difficult and close to being impossible if the individuals do not know each other. Many people believe in love at first sight, which post the question "How can a individual fall in love with someone they know nothing about?" The projection of what the person in the relationship is the only thing shown. An individual never shows the real side of himself or herself in a relationship only what they think the other person wants to see no matter how much time the relationship lasts. //

// In this scene Jean-Marc Clement is automatically attracted to Amanda, he says in the song that he loves her lips, he talks about how beautiful her skin is. He is so amazed by her beauty she pops her hips while in rehearsal for the play she sings "I'm not supposed to play with boys." // //__ Quote from Taming of the Shrew __ //

//(Act 1, Scene 1,Pg.43)// //In both of the examples the characters that are speaking describe the women they are interested in by their physical appearance, The attraction of what they see is the only thing that intrigues them. When meeting an individual the first thing that pops into the persons mind isn't " Their personality could be great it is." "They are very nice looking." Getting to know someone in a relationship is difficult because in conversations people express the thing they do not like and the things they love so if the individual in the relationship has a quality that their partner does not like they would never show it because they do not want to risk the relationship with that person. All the good things that the partner in the relationship likes the other person in the relationship would only show that, which is then the projection, being shown. //



//In this Scene Jean-Marc is going over his part in the play with Amanda. He is singing to her about how much he loves her eyes and want to kiss her lips. Where this screen shot is taken Jean Marc is getting really close to her lips as if he wants to kiss her. In the scene he tells her he is not an actor he justs wants to spend time with her but she replies "I can't I am busy and have shows to do." The actor then realizes that he should just continue being one of the star characters in the show in order to obtain Amanda's love.// //__Quote from Taming of the Shrew __//

//__Act 3 Sc.1 Pg.111 __// //In both of the illustrations the couples both engage in becoming someone else in order to woo the other individual in the relationship. Both people did it to be able to spend more time with the person they are attracted to, with the intentions of doing physical things such as kissing and holding the person not getting to know the insides of them and making love to their atributes instead of physical existence. //

 //Conclusion// // Almost every human being wants to find love. The comfort of someone wanting them for all of the things that are embedded in their characteristics, is what people strive for. It is easy to show an individual you want or have intentions on loving the things that they want to see, very rarely does an individual actually show their true side. People will go as far disguising themselves or just keeping secrets about their past or who they actually are. The projection is the things people fall in love with, so in reality people never make love or fall in love with the person they are intrigues by, they just make love to the atributes that are shown. //
