Plato uses the metaphor of a human being who is sliced in half and then longs for their other half to symbolize the characteristics of erotic love. What are these characteristics and how does the metaphor symbolize them?
Plato uses the metaphor ‘androgynous’ for a human being who is sliced in half and then longs for their other half to symbolize the characteristics of erotic love.The characteristics that symbolize androgynous are both sexes, combined toughness and gentleness, assertiveness and nurturing behaviour.
