Love

COURTLY LOVE

       According to the reading from our course, courtly love has a background which gives a senses to how love was practice back the days. Around the thirteen centuries, passionate love between the two sexes was seen as a punishment inflicted on men by the Gods. I do believe that the king from the story of Les Deux Amanz didn't really want to give his daughter in marriage to any young men. As a result he set up a plan hard his daughter's lovers to achieve in order for them to marry his daughter. also, Les Deux Amanz is a good example of Andrew's rule of love number 25. Stating that "A true lover considers nothing good except what he thinks will please his beloved" the love of the king's daughter was in love in the way that he did everything just to be with her. he died on top of the hill trying to do the impossible task provided by his father in law. 

          Also, in Les Deux Amanz, the lover couldn't control his love as shown in the way love may be retained is by keeping it secret (Andrew). Despite the fact that the lover of the king's daughter knew that he couldn't do the task asked, he had an kept seen his lover in secret until exposed by people. he still went and proposed even thought he saw previews men falling to succeed the task asked by the father in law. We can explain the rule number of love by Andrew in the fact that the king's daughter couldn't love someone else. so, she died from the loneliness after the death of her lover.
