It can also be portrayed between siblings. One sibling may be possessive of the other, not wanting them to spend time with other family members. This could be because of jealousy or a sense of insecurity. For instance, if one sibling is getting more attention from the parents, the other might become possessive of the remaining attention or the relationship they have with the sibling.
Another way is through an extended family situation. An older relative might be overly possessive of a younger family member's future. They might try to force the younger one into a certain career path or relationship, just because they have their own ideas about what is best for the family member. This shows obsessive possessive love in a non - erotic, family - centered context.
A dominant husband can be shown as the main organizer in family events. For example, during holidays, he plans all the details like the menu, the guest list, and the activities. He delegates tasks to family members and ensures everything runs smoothly.
Often, they end with the couple staying together. For example, in many contemporary romance novels with this theme, after a series of misunderstandings and conflicts due to the possessiveness, the two characters realize that their love is stronger than their issues and they end up in a committed relationship.
Young love can be shown through shared dreams and goals. Take 'The Hunger Games' for example. Katniss and Peeta's relationship in the books starts as a strategy for survival in the Games, but it develops into something more. They rely on each other, trust each other, and there is a deep bond that is not erotic but rather based on mutual survival and a sense of comradeship.
One common theme is the struggle for independence within the relationship. For example, in a story, one partner might be overly possessive, not allowing the other to have their own friends or hobbies. This can lead to conflict as the other partner tries to break free and assert their individuality. Another theme could be the fear of loss. The possessive partner may be so afraid of losing the other that they smother them with attention, which ironically may push the other away.
It can be portrayed through deep emotional connections between characters. For example, a strong platonic bond that has elements of passion in the sense of intense care and devotion. This could be shown by characters sacrificing for each other or always being there in times of need, which is an extension of the eros concept in a non - sexual way.
One popular one is 'Fifty Shades of Grey'. It involves a rather possessive relationship. The male lead, Christian Grey, has an obsessive need to control certain aspects of the female lead's life while also being deeply in love with her.
The theme of sacrifice can be effectively shown through the consequences of the act. If a character sacrifices their reputation to expose a great injustice, the story can then show how they are shunned by society but still hold their head high. Symbolism can also be used. A character might give away a precious heirloom that has been in their family for generations, representing their sacrifice of family legacy. By showing the long - term effects on the character's relationships, like how some friends may abandon them but new, more meaningful relationships form as a result of their sacrifice, it gives a comprehensive view of the sacrifice.
She might be a strict but loving teacher in a school story. The way she commands respect from her students and colleagues, enforces rules, and imparts knowledge displays her dominant nature without any erotic undertones. In this role, she can be a role model for the students, teaching them important values.
One way is to focus on the comical aspects. For example, the hostess could be a young girl who is made to host a tea party for her dolls but she'd rather be playing outside. The chaos that ensues as she tries to set up the party while being reluctant can be really funny. Another way could be a story of a mother who has to host a neighborhood party but is reluctant because she is so busy with her own family. Her attempts to juggle her family duties and party - hosting tasks can make for an interesting family - friendly movie.
One way is to write a story about a young girl who discovers her grandmother's old box of undergarments. In the box, there are beautiful, hand - sewn items that hold memories of her grandmother's youth. The girl then decides to learn how to sew in order to recreate some of those pieces as a way to connect with her family history.
