Introduction to Rhetorical Analysis

Love: a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person (dictionary.com). Hate: to dislike intensely or passionately; feel extreme aversion for or extreme hostility toward; detest: to hate the enemy; to hate bigotry. (dictionary.com). to me these words could be the total opposite of one another, and then on the other hand I feel like they can go hand in hand. Love to me means to have a strong attachment with passion for another person. Then there is hate, I think hate means to strongly dislike someone with a passion. So as I evaluate these terms and expressions such as “I hate that I love you”, “there is a thin line between love and hate”, “why do I love you so much, but I hate you?”, “I’m stuck in a love hate situation” and more. I wonder how these two are compatible in a situation and then I think back on my life when I was in a relationship with this certain person they broke my heart but yet I loved them even though and I also hated them for hurting me so deeply and we even stayed in the relationship so I realize there is a thin line between passion for love and passion for hate.
