In both works that i read on courtly love. Both Petrarch and Louis Labe, share similarities in there work. They both are extremely infatuated with the person they are writing about. Louis labe takes the time to describe every flesh of beauty on the man of her dreams, to explain why exactly she is in so much pain. Moreover Petrarch, takes the same approach in describing the correlation between romanticism and love. Both poets make it seem as if there ex partners were the reason they lived, and the reason they will die.
