Abstract Romanticism and the Construction of Desire
The chapter delves into the concept of abstract romanticism and how desire can lead to the idealization and objectification of the object of one's affection. It examines the themes of love, obsession, and how external influences shape our feelings towards others by referencing literary works like 'I Love Dick' and 'Possession'. The discussion explores the complexities of desire, ego, and the universal experiences of loving and desiring, reflecting on the fine line between reality and abstraction in romantic relationships.
