This might be stated: \u201cI\u2019ve done everything for you. I sacrificed and slaved for you. I made you who you are. You owe me.\u201d Or in the case of a spouse or lover: \u201cI gave you the best years of my life. You owe me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On a paper valentine it says simply, firmly and powerfully \u201cBe Mine.\u201d Possessiveness and passive\/aggressive domination are the hallmarks of these characters. Power of Love characters often lavish their attention and affection on others in order to exercise control, prevail, gain dominance or conquer another\u2019s heart.<\/p>\n<p>They see their own value reflected in the eyes of their love object. Their philosophy might be stated: \u201cYou\u2019re nothing without me. (And I feel I am nothing without you.)\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A character driven by the Power of Love is often a best friend, a mentor, an over-zealous parent, a beleaguered assistant or someone who tirelessly pushes another forward in a story. At their worst, these characters are stalkers, jealous lovers, crushingly caring parents, needy spouses, clingy codependents or self-pitying martyrs for love.<\/p>\n<p>Although typically developed as a female character, a Power of Love character can also be a compelling male lead. These characters\u2014 often soft, gentle and compliant on the outside\u2014are made of strong, even steely, stuff on the inside.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Power of Love characters fear being useless, unnecessary, unwanted or unappreciated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":611,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"nf_dc_page":"","_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"product_cat":[20],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-610","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-books","8":"first","9":"outofstock","10":"sale","11":"downloadable","12":"virtual","13":"purchasable","14":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/pwr-lov.png",322,441,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/pwr-lov-150x150.png",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/pwr-lov-219x300.png",219,300,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/pwr-lov.png",322,441,false],"large":["https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/pwr-lov.png",322,441,false],"ttshowcase_normal":["https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/pwr-lov-91x125.png",91,125,true],"ttshowcase_small":["https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/pwr-lov-55x75.png",55,75,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/pwr-lov.png",322,441,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/pwr-lov.png",322,441,false],"Image Size 500x500":["https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/pwr-lov.png",322,441,false],"woocommerce_thumbnail":["https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/pwr-lov-300x400.png",300,400,true],"woocommerce_single":["https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/pwr-lov.png",322,441,false],"woocommerce_gallery_thumbnail":["https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/pwr-lov-100x100.png",100,100,true]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Laurie Hutzler","author_link":"https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/author\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Power of Love characters fear being useless, unnecessary, unwanted or unappreciated.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/610"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=610"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/611"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=610"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=610"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etbscreenwriting.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=610"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
