Of course, most people, so, without any dictionaries, can tell us and you that the beloved is who. But such an approach is not close to us. If the supply of time was infinite, then we would love to listen to all these stories. But, unfortunately, time is limited, and its constant lack of tunes in a businesslike way. Therefore, we consider the noun or participle “beloved”, we understand who we can call it that, and after we pick up synonyms.
Value and Suggestions
The first association that comes to mind is Romeo and Juliet, as they loved each other! Juliet for Romeo was, of course, her lover, and this is beyond doubt. It remains only to find out what such a characteristic means. Let's open the explanatory dictionary and read the following there:
- Beloved (obsolete).
- Favorite person; mistress.
We must say right away that we had to slightly adjust the meanings, because the “beloved” has no independent semantic content, the word shares one meaning with its masculine counterpart - “beloved”.
To clarify why one meaning is considered obsolete, we will draw up the appropriate sentences:
- My beloved daughter! Where are you looking at night! Do not go away, stay with your old father!
- Do not dare to insult her! She is my sweetheart!
- Every man had at least one lover in his life, and some lucky ones created a family with her.
The last sentence makes you think about this: does the beloved have an expiration date? That is, when the beloved turned into a wife, she lost her qualities, and most importantly - feelings for her changed, or are they the same?
Who can be considered sweetheart?
An interesting and unanswered question. Because someone can say that a lover is one that is inextricably linked with falling in love. So, she does not lose her quality only until the first time of passion has passed, and then the woman just turns into a beloved or wife, but there is no longer a beloved.
Others will say that if the beloved communion is formed from the verb “to love,” then the concept has no and cannot be. True love does not pass! Let the reader choose the point of view that is closer to him.
Synonyms
To partly help resolve the previous dispute, you need to ask the language what he thinks about it. The language can be expressed in synonyms for the meaning of the word "beloved":
- cute;
- gracious;
- beloved;
- coveted;
- passion;
- sweetheart.
Synonyms, unfortunately, did not bring any clarity. Do you know what helps in such cases? The field of those values that are not in the explanatory dictionary. In addition, if we recognize the characteristic of the beloved woman in principle as the object of study, then her social and legal status will not matter. On this and finish.
