introduced to Dante’s best friend Guido Cavalcanti in The Vita Nuova in the XXIV Chapter dedicated to Guido Cavalcanti. Dante believes here that Guido’s heart “[is] still marvelled at the beauty of this gentile Primavera [(Beatrice])” (Vita Nuova 759). The Sonnet for Guido reveals their “brotherly” love towards each other and the support they confined within each other’s lives. The “gaze” is quite proven by Dante’s summary of his own work following the poem‚ where he explains in warm-heartedness the “[happiness]

In "Cousin Kate"‚ Rossetti gives messages about an abuse of power. The "Lord" "lured" the narrator to his "palace home". The word "lured" is very ominous and enforces the idea that he is a figure with authority. He manages to seduce the narrator with his flattery‚ and then enthrals her like a predator with his prey. The Lord has a high social standing which explains how he "wore" the "cottage maiden" like a "silken knot". The narrator felt inferior to the Lord‚ therefore she allows him to abuse her
