What is art one might ask? Art can be seen as expression‚ form and representation. Art as representation is related to mimetic theory (Stremmel 2006).

Elizabethan age‚ love sonnets were usually written by men communicating their love for unattainable women and displaying courtly love.

Yet when you look deeper into
