Love is the most beautiful feeling on earth that a person can experience. Love makes you and I do rash actions, good and not so good.
It’s not for nothing that they say that love is visible. A person in love shines, glows and bursts with vital energy. A person’s eyes light up from love - has everyone heard this phrase? Love can be at first sight, from the first second, from one moment. Or it may come gradually. Common interests unite people, and this shapes feelings.

Essay 2
Love is without a doubt one of the most beautiful feelings a person can experience. For many centuries love has been sung in great works, in music and painting. For many, love is happiness, but also for many it is a curse that cannot be gotten rid of.
A person cannot live without love. But you should understand that love comes in different forms. There is love for parents, friends, wives and husbands. Everyone has their own, special love. True love requires us to respect our loved ones, be willing to be a protector, lend a helping hand, and sacrifice our own interests for the benefit of others.
For many, the question of love remains a mystery. What is her strength? The state of love allows us to open up from a new side, turns our soul inside out and awakens our best qualities - determination, honesty, kindness. It is worth understanding that in love you need to be able to not only accept this very love, but also give it. What is important is not so much the receipt of pleasure as the willingness to sacrifice.
To be able to love, you need to be able to love yourself. The same applies to respect. Also important is the ability to value ourselves, regardless of those whispering behind our backs.
Love is not so much the result of a successful combination of circumstances as the result of a lot of work. We create love ourselves. We are all capable of loving and being loved. One of the most important features of love is that it is able to overcome and forgive everything. Seeing a beautiful and intelligent person in front of us, certain feelings awaken in us, but we should not confuse them with love. They often love in spite of, that is, not only for the positive qualities, but also for the shortcomings that each of us has. The main advantage of love is the fact that it reveals the best virtues of an individual, awakens in him the bright and kind, which a person did not even suspect.
Love makes us do good deeds; the whole world seems wonderful and beautiful to a lover. Simple life is filled with ease, things are done with a pleasant feeling.
Love is sung by many poets, artists and musicians, because it is the most important source of inspiration. A monument to such love is the wonderful, but sad, story of young lovers - Romeo and Juliet. With their love, the power of feelings, they managed to accomplish the impossible - they defeated enmity, hatred, and even death.
Let us remember the great Russian literature, namely the poem by A.S. Pushkin "I loved you." We see in the work all the sadness of a man who will never be able to be close to his beloved and share happiness and loss with her. The main character understands that they will no longer have anything with this woman, but still, deep down in his soul, he hopes that perhaps love has not yet faded away. But still he renounces his feelings for the well-being of his beloved.
Love has enormous power and authority over a person. It can give both joy and bitterness. But life without love is meaningless and there will be no joy in it.

Many volumes of poetry and prose have been devoted to it, but it is never fully understood. Poets, writers and philosophers have been tirelessly repeating for thousands of years: there is more to true love than we are given to understand; love is the kinship between our being and the stars that burn in the sky. One of the philosophers once said that the experience of love is the most amazing experience of a person. They are trying to understand love, systematize it, put it into a framework to answer the eternal question - why do people love. After all, a long time ago it became clear to people: love brings a person not only light, but also darkness, it not only lifts, but also oppresses a person. This determined the topic of my research work - “Is there such a thing as unhappy love? (based on the works of I.A. Bunin and A.I. Kuprin).” In Russian literature of the 19th and early 20th centuries, a special place is occupied by the work of such masters of words as Ivan Alekseevich Bunin and Aleksandar Ivanovich Kuprin. They, as critical realists, reflected in their works the crisis state of the world, the process of distortion of human nature, the loss of human traits by people. But, depicting the world in such colors, writers of the turn of the century see positive ideals in high love. Extraordinary strength and sincerity of feeling are characteristic of the heroes of their works. Kuprin firmly believed in love. His work revives the high order of feelings that was inherent in the works of earlier writers who created inspired hymns of love. Bunin also always succeeded in telling stories about high feelings, I think, because they came from the depths of his heart. Love captures all a person’s thoughts, all his strength. But something always goes wrong, and the lovers are forced to separate. Reading the works of these writers, one can assume that love is something that causes people nothing but suffering and misfortune. Indeed, the ending of Alexander Kuprin’s “Garnet Bracelet” is tragic: the main character commits suicide. And in “Sunstroke” or “Dark Alleys” by Ivan Bunin there is no happy ending. All “lovers” of writers live in anticipation of love, search for it and, more often than not, scorched by it, die. But let’s still try to figure out whether the love of the main characters in the works of Bunin and Kuprin was unhappy. 3 The topic interested me, because love is something that needs to be rediscovered every time. To the question of what love is, it is impossible to give one single answer that would be suitable for all times and all people. And no matter how many times poets, philosophers, psychologists, and lovers give beautiful and complete answers, the generations following them will seek and find new ones. The topic is also relevant because love is a high, pure, wonderful feeling that people have sung since ancient times. Love, as we know, does not age, and today we can observe love the way Bunin and Kuprin saw it. The purpose of my work is to identify the main approaches of Bunin and Kuprin to the theme of love in literary works. To achieve the goal, I was given the following tasks: 1. Study the works about love by Bunin and Kuprin 2. Analyze the similarities and differences of these works 3. Create a questionnaire and conduct a survey of 11th grade students 4. Summarize the findings Working on the topic, I used the following methods: 1. Theoretical: working with literary works 2. Analytical: analysis of the distinctive features of the works and their similarities to each other 3. Elements of the statistical method The objects of my research are: the works of Bunin and Kuprin about love. My working hypothesis is that love in the works of Bunin and Kuprin is synonymous with unhappiness, suffering, and pain. Our work can serve as a source of information not only for those who are interested in the works of Bunin and Kuprin, but can also be a good tool for conducting integrated literature lessons. 4 1. Features of I. A. Bunin’s works about love All love is great happiness, even if it is not shared. I. Bunin* Bunin’s concept of the image of love “Having fallen in love, we die...”*, - I think that these words of K. Balmont reveal I. Bunin’s attitude to love in the best possible way. Bunin has his own, special approach to the “traditional” topic. Many writers of the 19th century tried to give answers to the questions: is love destructive or saving? Is it possible to carry it through your entire life? How is this theme revealed in Bunin’s works? He simply does not have “saving” love - in not a single story will he give his characters the opportunity to “become ossified in warmth and comfort,” to mix love and everyday life. What is this connected with? Obviously, with Bunin's worldview. How does the writer perceive the world and the people in it? Already in Bunin’s early works there are motifs of melancholy, loneliness, and restlessness. Increasingly, he paints pictures of a collapsing Russian village. And after the First World War, after the tragic events of the Great October Revolution, and his departure abroad in 1920, the writer increasingly talks about the catastrophic nature of human life in general. Hence the special depiction of love in Bunin’s stories. He wrote a lot about her: in the series “Dark Alleys”, in the story “The Grammar of Love”, in the story “Mitya’s Love”. Bunin did not know the answers to many specific questions of his time. Perhaps that is why he turned with such passion to the “eternal topic”, which he not only did not fear, but was devoted to all his life. He was in the full sense “recruited” by the theme of love and described love in all states, and in emigration even more closely and concentratedly. He knew how to find it even where it was still there, and where love barely dawns and will never come true, and where it languishes unrecognized, and where it meekly serves something infinitely alien to it. All this was captured in new, unknown details and became fresh, today’s for any time. Love in Bunin’s description amazes not only with the power of artistic depiction, but also with its subordination to some internal laws unknown to man. * “Ivan Alekseevich Bunin: Life and Work” Book for teachers, p. 25 * Encyclopedia of Thought: Collection of thoughts, sayings, aphorisms, p. 54 5 According to Bunin: “All love is great happiness, even if it is not shared”*. In the thirty-eight short stories of “Dark Alleys,” amazing female types appear before readers. Here is Nadezhda from the story “Dark Alleys”. Throughout her life she carried her love for the master who had once seduced her. The lovers had not seen each other for thirty years and met by chance at an inn, where Nadezhda is the hostess, and Nikolai Alekseevich is a random traveler. He is not able to rise to her high feelings, to understand why Nadezhda did not marry “with such beauty that ... she had.” How can you love just one person all your life? Meanwhile, for Nadezhda Nikolenka remained an ideal, the one and only, for the rest of her life: “No matter how much time passed, she lived alone. I knew that you had been gone for a long time, that it was as if nothing had happened to you, but... It’s too late to reproach me now, but it’s true, you abandoned me very heartlessly.”* Having changed horses, Nikolai Alekseevich leaves, and Nadezhda remains forever at the inn. For one it is a casual hobby of youth, for another it is love for life. Yes, perhaps Nadezhda is not happy now, many years later, but how strong that feeling was, how much joy and happiness it brought, that it is impossible to forget about it. That is, love for the main character is happiness. In the story “Sunstroke,” love appears as an instant flash that flashes through, leaving a deep mark on the soul. Again, the lovers break up, which causes suffering to the main character. Life itself without a beloved is suffering. He finds no place for himself either in the apartment or on the street, remembering those happy moments spent with her. This story once again reveals Bunin’s concept of love: “Having fallen in love, we die.” The love shown in Sunstroke, as in other works of Bunin, has no future. His heroes will never be able to find happiness; they are doomed to suffer. Reading Bunin's works, you begin to realize that, in his opinion, in order to be convinced of the sincerity of feelings, a tragedy is absolutely necessary. But, despite all their tragedy, a bright feeling covers the reader when the last page of the story is turned: extraordinary bright strength and sincerity of feelings are characteristic of Bunin’s heroes. * “Ivan Alekseevich Bunin: Life and Work” Book for teachers, p. 25 * Afanasyev V.N. “I.A.Bunin. Essay on creativity", p. 28 6 The versatility of depicting the feeling of love I.A. Bunin is the heir of the great Russian literature, the key themes of which have always been Love, Duty, Mercy, Humanity. Bunin knew his truth about the man. The gift of love, which is not given to every person, brings Bunin closer to the ideal that poets, artists, writers, composers and sculptors have been looking for throughout their creative lives. This ideal is in the divine essence of man, in his high destiny, in the highest truth, trampled upon at every step. Love is an eternal theme of art, capable of coming into contact with the most mysterious secrets of existence. For Bunin's heroes, love is given suddenly, like a “sunstroke,” like a revelation. Love becomes not only the meaning of life, but also life itself. Bunin inspiredly poetizes all stages of love, without dividing carnal love and platonic love. His heroes are living people: Russia, Antigone, Tanya, Galya Ganskaya. The reader understands that the meaning of their life becomes love - a feeling that completely captures, accelerates, and changes the pace of life. The ebb and flow of love is well known to Bunin, so he is bold and generous in describing the feeling of love, which is akin to an illness. The writer denies love the ability to last, to continue through time, becoming a habit. Since Bunin’s most powerful stories were written in exile, the theme of love and longing for a distant homeland is organically woven into the narrative, filling it with symbols of old Moscow, living in the writer’s memories. Thus, the two strongest feelings, merging, shine in Bunin’s “Dark Alleys” - love for a woman and love for Russia. This combination is paradoxical and has indestructible power. The tragic background of Bunin's contemporary life was inevitably reflected in his philosophy of love, love that gives happiness and hope, but finite love, just as life itself is finite. Bunin's heroes, caught in a whirlwind of feelings, no longer think of another life, another reality; each of them is a person, with an initially designated individuality, and they love to the extent that each of them is given by God. Bunin reveals his “inner man” in love; In a writer, love makes a person vigilant and is a source of “creative” behavior, governing not by abstract rules for everyone, but by individual tact, individual choice. 7 For Bunin, believing in love means living like a god. According to his concept, all people on Earth have in themselves an aspect of love, primordial or associated with their movement towards perfection, towards discovering the meaning of life. Even in the brightest lines of Bunin’s prose there is a deep sense of the catastrophic nature of existence, the loneliness and melancholy of a person cut off from his homeland, the horror and cruelty of war. They have repeatedly written about the tragic views of Bunin, who united love and death. But here’s how he himself explained this motive: “Don’t you already know that love and death are inextricably linked? Every time I experienced a love catastrophe - and there were many of these love catastrophes in my life, or rather, almost every love of mine was a catastrophe - I was close to suicide...”*. Thus, in the works of I.A. Bunin, there is a versatility in depicting the feeling of love: 1. love - swan fidelity (“Grammar of Love”); 2. love – a shock for life (“Sunstroke”); 3. love - resentment (“Dark Alleys”); 4. love - longing for lost happiness (“Rusya”), etc. Bunin’s love lyrics, which belong to the 20th century in their emotional structure, are tragic, they contain challenge and protest. Love in his works is a passion that captures all a person’s thoughts, his entire being, spiritual and physical. *"Ivan Alekseevich Bunin: Life and Work" - Book for teachers, p. 45 8 2. Features of A.I. Kuprin’s works about love ... is he to blame for love and is it possible to control such a feeling as love. A. Kuprin* The tragedy of love in the works of Kuprin For such an all-consuming feeling as love, there is no question “to be or not to be?” It is devoid of doubt, and therefore is often fraught with tragedy. “Love is always a tragedy,” wrote Kuprin, “always struggle and achievement, always joy and fear, resurrection and death”*. Kuprin was deeply convinced that even an unrequited feeling can transform a person’s life. He wisely and touchingly spoke about this in “The Pomegranate Bracelet,” a sad story about the modest telegraph official Zheltkov, who was so hopelessly and selflessly in love with Countess Vera Sheina. Kuprin himself was very worried about this thing. “I don’t know what will happen, but when I think about her, I cry,” he told his friend F. Batyushkov. “I will say one thing: I have never written anything more chaste.”* Kuprin also depicts the fragility and insecurity of high human feelings in “The Garnet Bracelet.” However, the final pages of “The Garnet Bracelet” sound like an apotheosis of human nobility. The tragedy of the situation is highlighted by a feeling of all-consuming love for the woman, and with her, for the whole world. The story introduces us to the core of Kuprin’s moral problems, his understanding of the hidden potentials of man, those spiritual riches that give him the opportunity to survive, no matter how his life bends and cripples him. “Excellent thing..., I - happy holiday! Good literature begins!”* – Gorky said about “The Garnet Bracelet”. The understanding of love as the highest measure of the human person, ennoble the person and exaltation over the circumstances, with great skill is revealed by Kuprin in his story “Olesya”. In it, just as in many other stories of Kuprin from folk life, the blind rage of the crowd performs the fate of people - embittered, fanatical women deal with the heroine. But this does not determine the tonality of the narrative. The artist in every possible way seeks to overcome a possible difficult impression of the drama of folk life. In the story, Kuprin poetizes beautiful human feelings - love, nobility of the soul, proximity to nature, the ability to enjoy its harmony and beauty. * Vaiman S. “Notes on the prose of A.I. Kuprina ", p. 36 * Appendix to the magazine "Literature at School" No. 3, p. 28 * Aichenwald Yu.I. "Silhouettes of Russian writers", p. 54 * Ibid, p. 55 9 It is nature, generously and lovingly described in the story, that gives a bright, sad tone to the story of the fate of Olesya and Ivan Timofeevich. The story was written by a very young writer, in it the mood of youthful romance is noticeable in it. “This thing,” said Kuprin M. Gorky, “I like the fact that she is all penetrated the mood of youth.”* Perhaps, due to a lack of life experience, Ivan Timofeevich lacks subtlety, spiritual tact, respectful and sensitive attitude to another, without which it is impossible to protect a favorite being from trouble. This only pushes the innate nobility of a simple peasant girl. Not a curse to the offender, but a farewell to his loved one - this is her last word. It is “expressed” poetically: the thread of cheap “coral” beads, deliberately hung “on the corner of the window frame” of an abandoned hut, is what remains in memory of Ivan Timofeevich from Olesya and “her delicate, generous love”. The final of the “Olesya”, its last lines, is one of the characteristic manifestations of the properties of the Kuprinsky talent that contemporaries highly appreciated is “warmth to everything living”. Indeed, this “warmth” of Kuprin contains a love of nature, for horses, dogs, cats, birds - for life in all its manifestations. But in the center of his thoughts, there is always a person’s life, taken in unity with everything living on earth. The mystery of love for Kuprin is associated with another greatest secret person - a secret death. In the Legend-Legend "Sulamif" Kuprin wrote: "Many centuries have passed since then. There were kingdoms and kings, and there was no trace of them, like from the wind running over the desert. There were long merciless wars, after which the names of the commanders shone for centuries, like bloody stars, but time even erased the very memory of them. The love of a poor girl from the vineyard and the great king will never pass and will not be forgotten, because it is strong, like death, because every woman who loves is a queen, because love is beautiful! ”*. These lines are not a biblical excerpt - an old song of sabotage in a new, purely Kuprinsky way! “You can still live while there is love and compassion in the world”*, we read in one early story Kuprin (Blessed, 1896). It is in love and compassion that Kuprin sees the basis of the moral world of personality. For him, to understand the “secret” of man - first of all, to solve the riddle of earthly love, ordinary love of a man for a woman, exalted love, to a certain extent ideal. Love in the works of Kuprin is painful, brings suffering, the end of love of love is tragic (as in the “grenade bracelet”) or sad (as in “Oles”). *Aichenwald Yu.I. "Silhouettes of Russian writers", p. 56 * "A. I. Kuprin "Tales and Stories", p. 82 * Ibid, p. 76 10 The riddle of love according to Kuprin in the works of Kuprin is the main thing - people, their feelings and attitude. Alexander Ivanovich worships the man, before the power of his spirit, before the purity of his soul. Love in his works allows the heroes to show better human qualities: spiritual purity, kindness, the ability to sacrifice himself for the sake of a loved one, but, as we have already found out, in Kuprin it often has a tragic shade, because its heroes are usually on different steps social staircase. Love, passionately capable of rather not spoiled by civilization, such as Olesya or Yellow. Kuprin exalts the feeling of love, describes it as something amazing, inaccessible. The author emphasizes that true love is found, not so often that the right to test this feeling is available only to the chosen ones. Such a person in the "grenade bracelet" became Zheltkov. Its unrequited, non -recognized, but great and strong love does not find a response in the soul of Vera Sheina. Yes, he does not hope that the princess will “descend” to a small official. The very realization that she read his letters, accepted a gift, pleases him. Zheltkov, despite the lack of a response from the side of the faith, does not weaken, and everything is stronger. He continues to love her. Seeking to sing the beauty of a high, but obviously unrequited feeling, on which “perhaps one of a thousand is capable of,” Kuprin gives them a poor small official. His love for Princess Vera Nikolaevna, married to a high position in society, is unrequited, but she is able to elevate and inspire a small person. His naive and touching letters, full of adoration, become the subject of ridicule of her husband Vera Nikolaevna and his brother. The princess Vera feels that she met with the truth (holy) love, which is very rare. Her grandfather says prophetic words: "... maybe your life path, Verochka, crossed just such love that women are dreamed of and which men are no longer capable of." Indeed, in the story “Pomegranate Bracelet”, Kuprin describes the intimate life of a secular environment that he knows. But the main and attractive for him as an artist in a story is another - the mystery of an all -consuming feeling, before which death itself is powerless. The characters of the “grenade bracelet” puzzle over this mystery, seeing in it who is self -interest, who is to attack, madness, and who is the rare manifestation of true love. 11 Yes, and Zheltkov himself, this knight of selfless love, like all those around him, in difficulty. He is not to blame, Zheltkov explains in a dying letter that "God wanted to send him as huge happiness, love." “It so happened that nothing interests me in life: neither politics, nor science, nor caring for the future of people - for me, all life is in you”*. What is hidden in this all -consuming passion of the hero, to which Kuprin complies with an enthusiastic anthem? The desire to go into the world of dreams, the world of beauty and love, turning away from the painful suffering and real disasters of everyday life? “Above this whole struggle, tearing up peoples and classes, he is ready to put a single eternal - female love”*, ”wrote the critic of thieves about his“ Sulamif ”. Is it not the same in the "grenade bracelet"? No, here is another. In this story - the glorification of a person, his right to choose, his firmness in protecting human dignity. Zheltkov’s letter is a kind of manifesto. "Pomegranate Bracelet" inspires faith in a person. Not miserable and lost, but Zheltkov leaves lifelessly loving: "May your name be hooked!" His farewell letter is a blessing of love, life. So the heroes say goodbye to life. Kuprin’s stories and stories about love are real “novels of the education of feelings”. In them, perhaps, the talent of an artist who is so in love with beauty, the justice and dignity of man will be most fully embodied. * "A. I. Kuprin “Tales and Stories”, 45 * Appendix to the magazine “Literature at School” No. 3, p. 56 12 3. A comparison of the works of I. A. Bunin and A. I. Kuprin about love, but if for true love suffering is always necessary, then, it is clear, this is the law of fate. We will learn how to demolish him with patience ... V. Shakespeare * Differences in the approaches to the topic of love is unconditionally, these are two great geniuses that cannot be compared, these are two completely different people with their worldview. But they are united by the leading theme of their works - the theme of love. You can talk about love to infinity for a long time and still it is not possible to cover everything, love has many images and appearance. Each is given to know this or a foreign side of love. The works of Bunin show different stories and pictures of love, they are all beautiful and at the same time tragic. In the work of Bunin there are frank notes of love between a woman and a man, a detailed revelation of the feelings of earthly love, at the same time this cannot be called vulgar Platonic Love, works tell about pure love that does not carry vulgarity. Kuprin exalts love to heaven, he writes about love, which happens once in his life, fatal love, carrying a tragedy in the life of lovers. In turn, Bunin also has fatal love, with his tragic plots, but it is more “earthly” than Kuprin. Love in Bunin’s stories is enclosed in the shackles of the requirements of society, where everything is estimated at the weight of gold, saturated with philistine representations, conventions. A.A. Volkov in his work "Prose of Ivan Bunin" remarked: "Love at I.A. Bunina is subjected to destructive exposure to sale, wildness, ignorance, dark instincts ”*. Whatever plot moves the writer chooses to embody this topic, his love is always a great joy and great disappointment, it is always a huge promise and unfulfilled hopes, a deep and insoluble secret, it is both spring and autumn in human life. Whereas in the works of Kuprin love is a wonderful, not subject to anything that is checked by a person as a litmus paper. Not many have the ability to deeply and sincerely love. This is a lot of strong natures. It is such people who attract the attention of the writer. * Encyclopedia thoughts: a collection of thoughts, sayings, aphorisms, p. 56 * Vaiman S. “Notes on the prose of A.I. Kuprina ”,- M.:“ Lit. Study ”, 1980. 13 similarities in the approaches to the topic of love in the topic of love of Bunin is revealed as a person of amazing talent, a subtle psychologist who knows how to convey the state of mind, so to speak, wounded by love. The writer does not avoid complex, frank topics, depicting the most intimate human experiences in his stories. The peculiarity of the Bunin-artist is that he considers love to be a tragedy, disaster, madness, a great feeling, capable of and unlimitedly exalt, and destroy a person. Kuprin is also with his inherent high artistic taste, an excellent language, a subtle understanding of the psychology of his heroes writes about love. The writer turns to different eras, depicts the dissimilar heroes belonging to various layers of society, but all of them are united by love, noble, selfless, devoted, ready for self -sacrifice. You open the collected works of A. I. Kuprin and plunge into the amazing world of his heroes. They are all very different, but there is something in them that makes them empathize with them, rejoice and be upset with them. Despite many dramatic situations, in his works life is in full swing. His heroes are people with an open soul and a pure heart, rebelling against humiliation of man, trying to defend human dignity and restore justice. However, men in the stories of these authors seem to change places with women. This is an energetic, strong -willed “Polesie sorceress” Olesya and “kind, but only weak” Ivan Timofeevich, decisive and strong -willed from a “sun blow” and an inactive lieutenant who missed her happiness. The extraordinary power and sincerity of feelings are characteristic of the heroes of their stories. Love captures all the thoughts of man, all his strength. So that love is not exhausted, it is necessary to part and forever what is happening in the stories of Bunin and Kuprin. The works of both authors are inherent in the incompatibility of the happiness of lovers with the modern world, the inconsistency of life, the desire for justice, love, a sad understanding of the impossibility of happiness in this world. 14 4. Micro-study (questionnaire analysis) I conducted a survey among students of the 11th grades of the MOU "Secondary School No. 4" (see Appendix No. 1). 30 people aged 16 to 17 years participated in the survey. The questionnaire was carried out to determine the place and role of love in the life of modern youth. To the first question: whether love was in your life, the majority (18 hours - 30 %) answered positively. Whereas the question is whether all ages are submissive to love, most of the respondents (16 hours - 53%) answered negatively. Consequently, most of the young people believe that first love comes precisely in the youth years, not earlier and no later. But this applies only to love for the opposite sex, because in other forms love invisibly accompanies us all our life: love for parents, for the homeland, for the profession ... (this confirms the negative answer to the question: is life possible without love?). 21 people (70%) of 30 believes that love helps to live, in their opinion, this is expressed in the fact that love “inspires confidence”, “serves a kind of incentive to achieve success”, etc. And this despite the fact that most of the respondents (19 hours - 63%) are confident that love brings mental pain. But still, the vast majority of students (26h. - 87%) firmly believe that love is the happiness given to a person who not only helps to live, but also contributes to creativity (22 hours - 73%), most students called such types of creativity as writing poetry and paintings. Unexpected for me were the results on the question of what is more important than love or money. As it turned out, the difference between the options for love and money is relatively small: 18 hours (60%), as before, they believe that love is above all, while 12 hours (40%) the dominant place is given to money. The results of the questionnaire showed that priorities are changing and in the modern material world feelings gradually fading into the background. But still, while love is happiness, which has thousands of shades, and each of its manifestation has its own charm, its own sadness, its fragrance ... This confirms the variety of epithets called students. I conventionally divided all of them into epithets, reflecting the happy and painful aspects of love and beautiful words about love-sectors called more (see Appendix No. 2). 15 III. Conclusion Work on the topic “Is there unhappy love? (according to the works of I.A. Bunin and A.I. Kuprin) ”was fascinating and interesting. I used various methods. After analyzing the theoretical material (works of these authors), I came to the conclusions that love is the crown of human freedom and its spiritual essence, there is no reason for love, even in a world where everything is causally determined. The same conclusions were confirmed practically (in the form of survey). Love for everyone is an integral part of life, whether it is love for the opposite sex, parents or country. As a result of comparing the literary works of I.A. Bunina and A.I. Kuprin I achieved the goal: to identify the main similarities and differences in the approaches of these authors to the topic of love. My working hypothesis was that love in the works of Bunin and Kuprin is a synonym for misfortune, suffering, pain. Using the analytical method, namely the analysis and comparison of the literary works of I.A. Bunina and A.I. Kuprina about love, I refuted this hypothesis. Despite the fact that true love, as a rule, brings suffering to the heroes, in the course of work I found that love is not a tragedy of two people, but rare moments of happiness, which, even if they were fleeting, give the whole subsequent life of the heroes the lyrical light . Heroes never regret that such love was in their life, because this is the only way to understand another person in his deepest essence. Only in love and through love a person becomes a man. Without love, he is an inferior creature devoid of genuine life and depth. Similar results were shown by the questioning of students in the 11th grades, all respondents believe that life without love is impossible, it is always present in a person’s life and is beautiful in all manifestations. I think that my work can serve as a good methodological manual in literature in the study of the work of I. Bunin and A. Kuprin. 16 IV.

About Love (essay No. 3)
What is love anyway? What do we know about her?
Some will say that this is the most wonderful feeling, while others will say that this is all nonsense and it was impossible to come up with anything more stupid.
Love is the most mysterious emotional manifestation in people. It is so ingrained among us that it is difficult to imagine life without this feeling.
And it is this feeling that pushes many to stupid, reckless actions. It was as if a sticky fog had seeped into our minds and distorted our thoughts and perceptions. We begin to follow emotions, without listening to the arguments of common reason. Lovers are ready to do rash things, and a mother will always do anything for the sake of her beloved child.
You can turn to examples from literature to prove crazy things done for the sake of love. The same Mayakovsky, in whose place hardly anyone would have decided to live with his beloved and her husband. This seems stupid.
In the work of Alexander Kuprin “Garnet Bracelet” there is also a worthy example. How unrequitedly and madly Zheltkov loved the prince’s wife. And how did it all end? The man kept his warmest feelings for the woman for a long time, and once sent her a birthday gift - a garnet bracelet. The faithful wife, of course, told everything to her husband, and he, in turn, urgently asked the unrequited lover to take the gift and stop writing letters. The price of love for Zheltkov was his own life. Reckless actions destroy, and this example clearly shows us this.
In Leo Tolstoy's novel Anna Karenina, the main character gives up everything and leaves home in order to be with her beloved. The woman understands that there is no turning back and she will no longer be able to see her son, but she still follows her feelings. How did it end in Anna's case? She couldn’t decide what was more important to her: passion or her own child. Another death in the name of love.
I guess reason and love are always fighting each other. But it is worth noting that the voice of reason is not always right. Many great deeds were accomplished because of such a strong feeling as love.
So is love reasonable? Is there a place for reason when a person is in love?
Rather, “love” and “reason” do not go well together. In times of blind or even crazy love, we rarely think about the consequences and are ready to do anything for our loved one to make him happy. When a person loves, then love destroys all common sense.
Three components of a love relationship
So, what are these components of love:
- Intimacy and closeness. This is a kindred spirit, emotional and psychological intimacy. This includes a commonality of interests, goals and outlook on life. And also this desire to open up to a person, trust him with your secrets and keep his secrets.
- Sexuality and passion. This is the attraction of bodies. In a narrow sense, this is a purely technical coincidence in pastel. In a broad sense, this is a coincidence in the level of libido, sexual preferences and fantasies, beliefs and attitudes in this area of life, emancipation. And, of course, this attraction to appearance.
- Choice and responsibility. This is closeness and unity of personalities, intellectual development. It is this component that helps maintain long-term relationships and develop them. This includes accepting obligations, the ability to maintain one’s own and others’ boundaries, resolve conflicts, discuss problems, etc.
A cocktail of three elements is healthy, ideal, true love. And different combinations of these elements give a completely different result. Let's take a closer look.
Option 4
You and I all experience an incredible variety of feelings. It could be anger burning from within or all-consuming hatred. It could be relationship-damaging jealousy or stupid envy. We can be visited by joy, despondency, fear. But the greatest imprint on our soul can be left only by the most beautiful of all feelings - love.
Perhaps you can’t count all those songs and ballads, fairy tales, incredible stories and tales written and dedicated to only one single love. Love lives on our lips, in our hearts and souls, but what is love? Countless people have asked this question, and most likely you have asked it too. This word means a lot to each of us, but also everyone understands it differently. Someone longs for it, and someone desperately runs away from its influence, one denies it, while the other tirelessly dreams of it. One way or another, albeit unconsciously, we are all looking for her and dreaming of meeting her on our long journey of life.
Not everyone can understand love, not everyone can understand what it really is. It would seem that everything is simple! Love is a feeling that one person experiences for another. But is it really that simple? Is love really limited to relationships? Mutual understanding, care, patience, respect and devotion - this is the best thing that can be in life, this is what follows from love, but is this feeling really limited to this?
Love is immense. Emotions, actions and consequences that are explained by love are inexplicable and sometimes simply incomprehensible to anyone. Love is in the air, love can be found at every step, in every word, love surrounds us, although it is not so easy to notice. A drawing drawn by a child for his beloved mother is love. Cooking dinner for your family after a hard day is love. A lullaby before bed, a gentle “good morning” or a grumpy “put on your hat” - all this is love!
Only this incredible feeling can apply to almost everything. Not just to family, significant other or friends. Love for the business to which you have dedicated or want to devote your life. Love of music or aromatic coffee. Love for long sunsets and sunrises. Love for a sometimes difficult, but full of incredible joys of life. But life without love is impossible. Only she fills her with happiness and real meaning. A person without love is an unremarkable organism. Inside a loving person lies a whole world.
Reasoning
Love is the most complete and true expression of the perception of the world, of another person as a person. Love is the most beautiful and wonderful, the most harmonious of feelings on the planet.
This feeling involves self-sacrifice and complete surrender of oneself in the name of another, while the acquisition of any benefit is completely denied. The very first experience of unconditional love that a person encounters in life is the attitude of a mother towards her newborn child. A mother always accepts her child, does not get annoyed with him, and is ready to give a lot for his well-being.
All of the above, naturally, reflects only the concept of true love. Nowadays, unfortunately, it is quite rare. There are many things people confuse it with: selfishness, vanity, pride, and finally, attraction and passion.
In modern relationships between young people, the concepts of love and passion are often replaced. The latter tries to replace the former, but no one can build a happy and long marriage on passion or physical attraction, because the body ages, which means that what this marriage was built on is gradually destroyed.
Many people wonder how to easily understand for themselves what relationships are built on? The answer to this question can be obtained if you imagine a picture of a wolf looking at a lamb. If a wolf wants to eat him, then this is passion; if he cares and takes care of him, rejoicing in how he grows, then this is love. If you move away from this childhood picture and imagine yourself in the place of the wolf, and in the place of the partner’s lamb, you can understand for yourself what dominates in the relationship.
There are a great many examples of love in books, in masterpieces of world literature, but not all examples are examples of true feeling. There are many examples, especially in novels, such as in the book “The Master and Margarita,” of so-called love addiction, which in its essence is more similar to a mental disorder. Love addiction is like a parasite that cannot live without its owner, the donor. It appears not as a bright and sublime feeling of absolute dedication, but as an inability to maintain one’s life resources, in this case one can see self-interest, a desire to possess, and usually one does not care about the state of another and no one is going to sacrifice anything for him.
An example of love can be Natalya’s feeling from “Quiet Don” for her unlucky, unfaithful husband. She loved Gregory in spite of everything, accepted him as anyone, wanted him to feel good.
They say, and this is absolutely justified, that a person can be called a human being only if he experienced this high feeling, only if he was able to love in his life.

How to fall in love yourself
Many are waiting for their person and want to feel that same feeling as soon as possible.
To do this, you need to look at your life from the outside and give a truthful assessment:
- To find true love, you first need to be open. If a person is tense, embarrassed, silent, then he is unlikely to be able to find sincere feelings soon.
- Honesty to yourself and others also makes it possible to see exactly who you are among people.
- Self-confidence is a step towards self-realization, which attracts the opposite sex.
- A free heart is the main condition for finding true love.
You need to live life to the fullest and not dwell on past mistakes, continue to search, and sooner or later the very person you were missing will appear.
