Common Characteristics of Romantic or Courtly Love Poems Write your response to this element here. My response for this question is that the characteristics are almost the same in there meanings. With romantic and courtly love they can be expressed the same way by thru song or poems by both woman and men. The feelings and thoughts and emotions can be expressed and felt the same way by both parties. The big difference in them is that men are the ones who show more respect and honor to the woman they are perusing. They do this by giving gifts and doing deeds of honor to show how he feels towards the one he is perusing.
My Reactions to These Expressions of Romantic Love
Write your response to this element here. My reactions to these elements is that some of the ways love or affection is showed is pretty much the same way today as it was back in those time periods. I like to relate the way these feelings are expressed is through music and poems and ballads by some very great bands of are era. I find myself using some of these expressions myself in my life, as giving flowers and cards and other gifts to try and show my feelings for someone.
Ways in Which This Poetry Surprises Me
Write your response to this element here. I am not really surprised by the way poetry and romantic feelings surprise me. I think in humans we are predetermined to find the right way to express love and other things and what we don’t know we learn along the way. My thoughts on this are that people should pay more attention to each ones feelings and thoughts and be positive when giving advice to someone and be respectful.

    “Modern Love.” The term brings to mind the changing dynamic of today's society. This change has been present for decades and continues on to this day. In George Meredith's poem he illiterates the negative impact of this change in a case that could encompass so many couples; the pain of a loveless marriage. Through his use of diction, and metaphor Meredith show the pain and heartache of two people being so close, yet so emotionally distant.…

    In Osip Mandelstam’s poem numbered “300”, and in Marina Tsvetaeva’s poem “you loved me” both speakers are struggling with a loss of love. For Tsvetaeva’s speaker, the loss stems directly from a love built in a relationship and partner and the sudden feeling of betrayal and loss. For Mandelstam’s speaker however, the loss of love is in that of his friends and family, and not in that of an intimate relationship. They have betrayed his trust, and left him in a life of solitude and loneliness. Both speakers are encountering a powerful loss of something they care about and in their poems they are showing their resiliency and rebuttal towards that loss. This rebuttal comes from a place of isolation and understanding. It is only through recognition…

    The collection of texts presented in this essay depicts an underlying theme of love. The texts have been examined and explored in order to note the similarities or differences in various categories.

    I remember when I first experienced goosebumps raise on my arms and send a shiver through my body, simply because the words leaving the speaker's lips left such an imprint on me. I didn’t think that a simple sentence could bring tears to my eyes, could cause me to react in any physical way. I didn’t even know the author. Yet, it still amazes me anytime I react to such a poem. The emotions that the author pours into every word and every syllable is astounding. Each pause and breath tell a story on their own. I knew that I had to try. I wanted to make people feel the way like I did when I first heard them, but because it was my words that made them react.…

    Love is a significantly powerful emotion which has the ability to positively transform a life, but also the ability to possess, and destroy lives. Many different concepts of love have been expressed in texts, throughout history, and have been influenced by divergent contextual values appropriate to the time, in which the text was written. Through the comparative study of the 1925 novel, ‘The Great Gatsby’ by F. Scott Fitzgerald and Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s 1845 ‘Sonnets from the Portuguese,’ HSC students are provided with varying concepts of love in dissimilar contexts through the use of narrative and poetic techniques, thus resulting in an enhanced appreciation of each text.…

    I hated poetry. I realize that sometimes people have difficulty verbalizing there feelings. That's perfectly fine. I realize that certain words can be symbolic. That's fine as well, however I didn't see the point in any poetry that didn't sound like it came from a Dr. Seuss book. How people were able to identify with certain poets and comprehend the deeper meanings behind their works was beyond me, but who was I to judge? Then one night I discovered a poem about hands, not how hands symbolize some greater meaning in life, just about hands. Hands and love. That night I learned to love poetry, learned to understand how it can convey feeling in ways the verbal descriptions can't. That somehow you can learn all of life's lessons from a…

    “How do I love thee, let me count the ways” or I could write you a novel and tell you about my love for you. Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s sonnets from the Portuguese portrays a very pure view of love and desire whereas Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby highlights a loss of spiritual value in the superficial jazz age. When comparing these two texts, it is made apparent what impact a change of contexts and social values has upon dreams and desires. Such ways in which this is evident is the contrast of the 1940s Victorian Era, which connected deep, spiritual and religious values with love; and the lawless, materialistic and shallow understanding of love in the 20s.…

    Courtly love is characterized by the poetry of the troubadours in southern France which originated in in the late 11th c. Its ennobling effect on the male lover who assumes a subservient position in relation to the beloved, of the woman loved, and certain codes of conduct, whether implicit or explicit, that guide the lover in his amorous pursuit (COURTLY LOVE2012). After rereading the poem several times and understanding why she is saying what she said it was understandable for women to express their forbidden feelings through poetry. It’s surprising to learn that true love began in the medieval days.…

    Many poems, written before the 1900’s, express the emotion of love. Each poem explores the meaning in a different way and in different forms. In this essay I will be investigating three different poems/sonnets; La Belle Dame Sans Merci written by John Keats, Porphyria’s Lover by Robert Browning and last but not least Sonnet 18 by William Shakespeare. All of these have very different aspects and views, this is what makes them so interesting to compare because of the wide contrast involving the three poems.…
