all you need is love


The beatles are a renown band around then world. However some fail to see the conection of the Beatels to Antigone. Antigone was deeply attached to her family. Her mother, father, and two brothers were killed and Antigone didn't care what it took to defend her family. She was willing to die in order for her brother to maintain the respect he deserved. She did it for love.
In Lysistrata the women loved their husbands so much that they were willing to deny them sex. Some might think this was a harsh move but they did it in the name of love. By preventing war they would ensure their husbands lives therefore ensuring the longevity of their love.
In the Symposium Socrates claims that Diotima taught him all about love. In the Symposium the subject that is discussed throughout the whole book is love. Although each philosopher in the Symposium has a different origin of love and idea about love, all must agree that is one of the most important component of humanity.
