Essay Topics
Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:
Essay Topic 1
"Eros" is the state of being in love, according to Lewis. He describes how sexuality plays a role in the love that exists between a man and a woman, but ultimately focuses on spending an inordinate amount of time explaining why one should not let that type of love consume him/her. Write an essay on whether you agree or disagree with Lewis' description of Eros as noted above, and also elaborate on whether the author is directing the reader toward his way of thinking in terms of placing emphasis on the inability to have time to focus on God if one gets involved in an Eros love type relationship.
Essay Topic 2
Author Lewis places charity above all the other loves that he describes in his book. Do you agree with his assertion that charity is the ultimate type of love to pursue and possess? Do you disagree? Why or why not? Write an essay elaborating on the aforementioned observations and questions that have been raised as you have been reading and studying The Four Loves by C.S. Lewis.
Essay Topic 3
Friendship and affection, according to Lewis, are not connected, but rather are separate emotions. Write an essay explaining what you understand Lewis is referring to in relation to friendship and affection being separate emotions, and elaborate on whether you agree or disagree with Lewis on that point. Support your position with direct text or paraphrase.
