Love is not possession, love is giving

Why does Anthony's love move me? Because he and Burton are so close. Here is a comparison between him and the queen, Burton and Taylor's love path.

Why did Anthony fall in love with the queen, this is in history. Anthony lost his father as a teenager and became a problem teenager. He once participated in the market turmoil in Rome with Hupengou friends.

But he has the foresight, thinking that if this chaos continues, he will completely lose control, and sooner or later he will be backlashed. So at the age of twenty, he borrowed a sum of money and traveled across the ocean to study in Greece to learn eloquence.

In the process, he saw the civilization and nobility of Athens. Compared with the vulgarity and filth of Rome, he naturally fell in love with Eastern civilization.

After Caesar's death, he inherited Caesar's legacy, tried to conquer Parthia (now Iran), and connected with the eastern provinces of Rome to establish a great power spanning east and west, reviving Alexander's great cause in the past. So he put the focus of his career on the east.

The queen has rich Egypt, and he needs her money to support his army. This is the reason why he abandoned Octavian's sister and married the queen. As for why I fell in love with the actress later, it was because the actress herself was very charming. She is knowledgeable, intelligent, charming with language, and extremely talented. It can be said that it is a female version of Burton. Such a woman's temptation to men is huge.

Anthony feels inferior to his vulgarity and admires the elegant actress. The actress represents the Eastern civilization that he truly admires, just like the scumbag fell in love with the tyrant.

Another reason is her queen status.

She bought the people around Anthony and told him her kind words. She acted as virtuous and virtuous, with a gentle temperament, so the people she had bribed said to Anthony every day, "She is a queen, but she is willing to serve you humblely like a slave girl. How can she do it not because of love," How can you bear to let her down?" This is the same as Tyler used to conquer Burton. Taylor washes Burton's underwear every day, even pours him a urinal, doing everything possible to please Burton's family, let them say good things about her, and prompt Burton to marry her.

In Burton's eyes, a woman who is the most beautiful and famous in the world, noble as a queen, is willing to do such a sordid thing for him, what is it not to love him? So moved.

Taylor was still the hardest pressed by Hibir at Burton, and it can be said that he chose to retreat when he was overwhelmed. She told him that she could not be married and would be his mistress. He would accompany Hibir from Monday to Saturday, and just return to her on Sunday.

When Burton heard this, his blood came to his head. How could I make such a noble woman be my mistress? I'm still not a man? Impulsively, he called Hibir and filed for a divorce. At the very beginning, love has utilitarian elements. Both Anthony and Burton took a fancy to "such a noble woman is willing to take care of me." They think that they are loved, so they also surrendered their love.

As for the later development methods, they were also similar. Anthony and the queen, Burton and Taylor, all lived a life of extravagance and extreme desire after marriage, enjoying the bliss of the world.

However, as their careers gradually began to go downhill and their self-destructing program was started, this program couldn't be stopped once it was running. Burton and Taylor got on the endlessly moving carousel, and they could only keep spinning on it. If they wanted to jump off forcibly, they would only fall to the ground.

Unwilling to face the worsening reality, Anthony became an ostrich and buried himself in the sand of Queen Elizabeth. In his later years, Burton lived in self-deception every day, relying on the fond memories of Taylor's past to support himself.

Later, they all regarded them as their spiritual support. Anthony made a will to give all the territory under his hand to the queen and her children. Burton asked Taylor to take whatever he wanted and take all his wealth. He will not refuse to go.

When love comes to the point where you are willing to do everything for your lover, it has begun to become sick. Finally, when the situation was over, Anthony returned to the palace to look for the queen. He was very angry. He thought the soldier's mutiny was due to the order of the queen, and he called her a bitch who cheated him.

However, when the actress' secretary came out and told him that the queen had committed suicide, he was really fooled and thought she was dead.

He sighed, "Anleni, fate has taken away your only excuse for living in the world, why do you want to survive?"

Afterwards, he returned to his room, took off his armor, and said: "Cleopatra, I am not sad to lose you now, because I will be with you soon. The only thing that brings me The humiliating thing is that a great general like me is not as brave as a woman."

So he was anxious to commit suicide, to catch up with her.

It was like the Battle of Akshin, the Queen ran away, he left the army, and desperately jumped into a small boat to chase her. He will go wherever she goes. He is extremely dependent on her, loving. When he was dying, he was sent to the Yan Empress, knowing that he was cheated by her, but he was not angry. Instead, he tried every means to teach her to make a living for himself instead of dying with him.

This is also very much like Burton. Knowing that Tyler no longer loves him, but he still loves her, hoping that she can live well and continue to enjoy the prosperity of time. "I'm tired, I'm not afraid of death. She will continue to be popular, and I just want to be forgotten by the world."

For Anthony and Burton, their love for the actress and Taylor is similar.

In their hearts, love is not possession, love is not control, love is not selfishly pulling each other and themselves to death. Love is guarding, love is giving, and love is wishing each other to be happy for a long time.
