What do the actions of the lion say about the relationship between love and identity?

The Lion's actions of removing his teeth and claws show he's sincere in his proclamation of love. But with the loss of his physical attributes in the name of love, he is also losing his identity and thus, leading to a loss of love and personality. His actions show how one's identity and love are connected and one must stay true to them, no matter what may happen.

Explanation:

In Aesop's fable "The Lion in Love", a lion fell in love with a woodcutter's daughter. But as a result of his fearsome appearance, he was given an ultimatum to change certain aspects of his appearance to be accepted.

When the woodcutter asked the lion to cut his claws and also remove his teeth, he readily agreed for he deeply wants to marry the daughter. But in removing them, he is in a way deceived of his real self, thus becoming some animal other than being a lion. Though this was done out of love, from the woodcutter's perspective, it was the only way to defeat the fierce animal and save his daughter from being married to a lion.

But for the Lion, he did whatever was asked of him as a gesture of his sincerity in asking for the daughter's hand. His actions show how a person's identity may get lost in the name of love and how one can take advantage of others in the name of love. His actions show how love and identity are ingrained and connected, and one must stay true to it no matter what may happen.
