There is a fine line between love and lust. If
love is only a will to possess, it is not love. To
love someone is to hold them dear to one's heart.

reality, this seems to be a misconception. In The
Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald portrays the themes of
love, lust and obsession, through the character of

Turn Of The Screw Miss Jessel
