Love is Courage

Rory Tell

Professor Ward – Love and Film

Love is…Complicated

Is there any concept humans have to deal with on a daily basis that is more complicated than that of love? I can just hear Avril Lavigne’s “Complicated” echoing out of my iPod right now as I write this blog. “Complicated” to a large extent actually mirrors a lot of my teenage emotions towards the idea of love and connecting with someone. It captures the multitude of feelings that engross a young teenager’s mind, that of confusion, anxiety, desire, and affection. As one music critic aptly noted her song represented, “a moment in time where you’re childlike enough to beg for a simple explanation for everything and just mature enough to know there’s no such thing.” She aptly brings up the idea of love as an intangible idea. Humans tend to ascribe definitions to things as to show an understanding of what those very things are. However, so much of how we feel can sometimes never truly be expressed, as there are not words that can define these intangible experiences such as love. So why do we even talk about love anyway? Love is not simple, and that is okay. In fact, I think the process of one attempting to understand love is a vital ongoing process that is never fully realized. Rather, at different points in our lives, humans become privy to its many shapes and forms. That is why love is so beautiful, because when one finds that connection, there is an almost unspeakable bond that is created. Furthermore, we are doing an injustice to society if we do not seek to discover what is unknown about ourselves. Love is one of those things, and that is why I am writing these blog posts, to hopefully come to an infinitesimal better understanding than before I started.

From the outset of society, understanding and dissecting the origin and idea of love has played a key role in every culture. The Greeks, of whom we will discuss in much more detail later in the blog, had many words to describe the feeling of love. Eros represented sexual passion, philia denoted deep friendship, ludus described a more playful love, agape symbolized a love for everyone, pragma signified a longstanding love between couples, and philautia was used to describe the love for oneself. These are just some of the terms Greeks used to encompass their feelings towards one another. There is no doubt that as society has progressed; the concept of love has too, as we have become more accepting of different forms and constructs of love. But why from ancient Greece to now are societies and humans still wrestling with the idea of love and what it represents to different people. This is a question I grapple with all the time. As I mentioned prior, I think the short and the long of it is that love means different things to different people at different points in their life. There is no blanket statement, no definition in a textbook that can encompass or articulate the full range of emotions a human feels at a point in time. As much as humans tend to want to create unifying theories for specific ideas, love is subjective and changes depending on the person. Yet, love doesn’t only change depending on the person, but in fact, as we will see later on in the semester, time is a crucial element in how love evolves inside a person. The childish love we feel in sixth grade changes when someone gets married, and it continues to change as people age.

When looking at Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2007) and Plato’s Symposium, we can view how these two different texts are responding to the idea of love. From the outset Hedwig is an extremely complicated figure. Hedwig is born, male, acts with a female persona, yet lives in between genders. Thus, pinning down what Hedwig is and wants becomes increasingly complicated throughout the course of the movie. As Yitzhak, another member of the band, says during one of the band’s opening songs, “Hedwig is like that wall/Standing before you in the divide/Between East and West/Slavery and freedom/Man and woman/Top and bottom.” This idea, of opposition, the dialectic between Hedwig’s understanding of himself as not fully formed, but only a half of a whole person is the central narrative of the film. And to me, I believe it to be an extremely narrow and dangerous way of looking at love. The idea of the other half, that there is only one person who can make you feel whole is not a healthy way of viewing relationships and love in general. For much of the film, Hedwig is preoccupied with finding his soulmate, his other half as he describes it in their rendition of the “Origin of Love.”

Aristophanes speech in the Symposium thus becomes the clear metaphor symbolizing what Hedwig’s beliefs on love is at the beginning of the film. Yet, while Aristophanes assessment foregrounds the narrative and Hedwig’s initial beliefs on love, the film continues to engage with other various parts of the Symposium’s work. The film’s narrative demonstrates a more serious engagement with the Symposium’s speeches. Throughout the film, failed relationships compel Hedwig to abandon external completion of the whole for inward self-discovery and ultimate self-acceptance. This evolution in Hedwig’s mindset can be directly correlated to the evolution of the dialogue happening within the Symposium as Socrates attempts to build on his fellow friend’s ideas while putting forth his own methodology. “Like Aristophanes, Socrates argues that love is the desire for what one lacks. But in contrast to Aristophanes, who thinks the lack is the other half, Socrates conceives it as the lack of the knowledge of ‘the form of Beauty’, or as the lack of ‘immortality.’” Thus, Hedwig begins to understand that the only thing that can make himself feel complete is the love and happiness he seeks within himself. Love is an extremely complicated journey for Hedwig, but it is ultimately a rewarding path as Hedwig begins to appreciate the fact that one has to love himself to love others.
