transformation is love‚ represented by Venus and her youthful and mischievous son‚ Cupid. When the god Apollo brags to Cupid of his great might exemplified by his defeat of the python‚ Cupid humbles him by reducing the great god to a shameless lover with his gold-tipped arrow of love.

How Relationships were Presented Through Sonnets in a Patriarchal Society By Marcelle Rowbotham This essay concentrates on the portrayal of male heterosexual love within two sonnet sequences. I will be analysing Pamphilia to Amphilanthus by Mary Wroth‚ and Astrophil and Stella by Sir Philip Sidney. Pamphilia to Amphilanthus and Astrophil and Stella are cohesive in their themes of male hedonism‚ unpredictability and guile. At the time that these sonnets were written‚ females had very little power

literature can be the deep meanings behind plays. When a play is read‚ the allusions‚ if there are any‚ are often overlooked. William Shakespeare uses two allusions to support the theme that love is complicated.
