Rita Mae Brown once said, “I think the reward for conformity is that everyone likes you except yourself.” What she meant by this was that defining that society should not define you, and explaining that you’re often driven to despair if you conform to the societal norms. Annie Proulx’s novel, Brokeback Mountain and Andre Dubus’ The Fat Girl proves this concept by portraying the protagonists as characters who are despondent throughout their journey and in a constant battle with themselves, trying to avoid the thing they love for an acceptance in society. In Brokeback Mountain, Ennis is portrayed as a perplexed character, unsure of his love for Jack as it is characterized as an iniquitous deed.

When becoming friends with Gilgamesh, Enkidu developed a feeling of love, in which he didn’t have before living in the wild. A social norm in this period would be slaying beasts and monsters, as an activty. This bond these two friends make are unbreakable until the Gods intervene and this is when Enkidu questions if it was worth becoming civilized just to die in the

Love in the story is like the energy in a kid, it drives the story and the characters in the story insane. For example, in the story love is what drove Hero into dying and will end killing Tara at the end, “Why should you go on living when she and I are dead? When no one remembers our names?”

At this point, everyone thought Erec had died. Enide bluntly stated, “I shall neither eat nor drink if I do not see my lord, who is lying on the table, eat first.” Enide’s resolve is strong and clear that she cannot live without Erec and that she will always remain faithful to him. Even when the count granted her half of all his land, she still rejected him mourning over Erec. Also when the count was upset and hit Enide many times, she still denied to submit to him.

Enkidu is forced into civilization after being disowned by nature for sleeping with Shamhat. We see him transformed from a wild beast into a civilized person. As we follow Enkidu’s transformation, we see how he changes for the better, but also experiences some downfalls. The transition was not smooth, it took time to fully adjust, and although there are many disadvantages of leaving the hunter-gatherer lifestyle, the benefits made it worthwhile. Through Enkidu’s exposure to Gilgamesh, he changes from a human that lives among nature, to this great warrior that is willing to kill beasts for no other reason, but glory.

Love has such a vast number of roles that it plays and everyone of them traces back to love. There is no one emotion, no one effect that love plays. The best way to show how love works is first to wonder what it can do. One aspect of love is forgiveness because it is generous, merciful and graceful.

Proulx believes that human behavior and activity is determined by where they live on earth. The story takes place in the Midwest, Wyoming. This is an area where being a cowboy is a way of life, farms, livestock, and it’s predominately a conservative state. Ennis and Jack are living in the time and place where homosexuality is unacceptable. So when they’re up in Brokeback Mountain where their relationship is formed it’s secluded from that traditional white male masculinity.

As we follow Enkidu’s transformation, we see how he changes for the better, but he also loses certain capabilities. The transition was not smooth, it took time to fully adjust, and although there are many disadvantages of leaving the hunter-gatherer lifestyle, the benefits make it

Love doesn’t always have to be between two people. It can be self love. In the novel, Juliette learns to love who she is. She may have stumbled and had doubts, but in the end she found a way to love who she truly was. But, love can also be found between two people, like Juliette and Adam.
