This love does not prove to be helpful to him at all but only seems to hurt him throughout the entire play.

If music be the food of love, play on;
Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die.
That strain again! it had a dying fall:
O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound,
That breathes upon a bank of violets,
Stealing and giving odour! Enough; no more:
'Tis not so sweet now as it was before.
O spirit of love! how quick and fresh art thou,
That, notwithstanding thy capacity
Receiveth as the sea, nought enters there,
Of what validity and pitch soe'er,
But falls into abatement and low price,
Even in a minute: so full of shapes is fancy
That it alone is high fantastical.

This particular reading had more to do with the gender aspect of this particular theme. It was already controversial to be a woman in power in Elizabeths time. So Elizabeth had to be careful with her words to appease the public. She very cleverly avoided answering the question of why she was not married or a mother. She stated that there were many more important things to attend to at the time and states that although yes she is a woman she has been appointed as their leader by god so she doesnt have to answer it if she wants to.

"The weight and greatness of this matter might cause in me, being a woman wanting both wit and memory, some fear to speak and bashfulness aside, a thing appropriate to my sex. But yet the princely seat and kingly throne wherein God (though unworthy) hath constituted me, maketh these two causes to seem little in my eyes, though grievous perhaps to your ears, and boldeneth me to say somewhat in this matter, which I mean only to touch but not presently to answer" -

In these lines at least in how i interpreted them when you think about getting married the fantasy is that it will make life easier in a way and that you have a perfect life ahead with your partner. For most people and in this poem it is not the case, It states that husbands are hard to please, you could wait hand and foot on your husband and he would still have more requests or complaints. I feel like it may be exaggerated but it does hold some truth in even modern day marriages.

# data[].attributes.body
In book one canto 11, this is the part in which redcrosse fights the dragon. This is different in terms of love it is not about not wanting to leave your lover and not wanting to be in love at all. This is about doing something very dangerous and important for your lover. Redcrosse is fighting the dragon life and death for three days over and over, and ends up being victorious. No matter how hurt redcrosse was he healed himself and would not give up and that says a-lot for love and bravery.

This particular sonnet made me think of this song by maroon 5, although it is not an exact match to this poem, the song states that hes never going to leave his bed, which is much like the speaker of this sonnet.

# data[].attributes.body
These lines in particular occur after the point where the false prank of una in bed with a fake knight are seen and the redcrosse knight saw this and was sad, infuriated, and ready to kill. These lines speak about the anguish and pain that he felt as he laid in bed after seeing this in his dream that felt so real. This is exactly the result that was intended.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like this is a very relatable sonnet in a way, because in a way we have all felt this. Not wanting to get out of bed, and having the morning sun peaking through the blinds and ruining the comfort of sleep. We all wish for that five more minutes of sleep in the morning.

# data[].attributes.body
In these lines, unlike the other sonnets I have already analyzed, the speaker is totally in love with his love. The anguish in this poem was the sun of all things. The reason why this was his anguish was because the day meant that he had to leave his lover in bed. In these lines in particular he is speaking about how if he wanted to he could just close his eyes and the sun would be gone but if he did that the he would lose sight of his lover which he could not bare.

Wroth seems to be lost or lost in the way that she cannot make a decision on to love or to not love. Its like she is weighing her options, if she goes with love there is much danger ahead, and if she abandons love then she will be a failure and lonely.

Much like sidney sonnet 47 wroth talks about how love will do nothing but destroy her, trap her, and take away her freedom. The difference is that this is a females point of view but all in all they are pretty similar and show the more painful side of unconditional l

Wroth is describing how painful it is for him to be in love. Not only because love can be painful and all consuming. Also because he does not wish to give up his freedom of being single so he is in misery because he cannot stop the love he feels no matter how much he despises it.

In many of the sonnets we have read recently the main topics are love and being completely infatuated with a person whether the person wishes they did or wishes they didnt.

This is only one example of how women are seen as objects in this particular time, they are seen as pretty toys without much of a will of their own and are expected to stay quiet and listen to men and not question authority.

Whether she wants to be with him or sleep with him or not he sees it as a privilege to the women.

Whether we notice it or not gender has always been very prominent in literature especially in early British literature. The way in which gender plays a big role in our readings is in a way of over feminizing and oppressing women. Women are capable of the same things as men and even more but back in the early British literature times women were not often given the chance to shine and if they were it was mostly in stories. Stories where gender is a noticeable factor are Judith and Whoso list to hunt and even in a part of Gawain and the green Knight.

the wanderer

The wanderer made me think about religion and ponder the true meaning of the poem the whole passage I was reading it. It made me feel like someone who was lost without religion and was searching for the truth. This wanderer was lonely either because he chose to leave to find himself or because he was kicked out. He realizes how lonely life is without god in it. That is just a theory I had about the passage.

A common theme is most medieval literature is religion/Christianity. It seems even though it may not be directly stated that it is about christianity, but you can draw many connections to christianity. Many times authors from this era seem to use a character that is exiled or lost or on a journey as a way to subtly write about how christianity will change the lives of people. Some writings where i really see the connection of religion and christianity are The dream of the rood, Judith, and the wanderer
