They both explore the theme of love or rather painful love. the poet revels the link between the two poems’s through a verity of techniques which is done very effectively but also shows the difference between the obsessive love in “Havisham” and the possessive love of “Valentine”.

As Guigemar realizes he loves the woman, he suffers more than he ever did from the physical pain of the arrow. This is evident during Guigemar’s lonesome nights when he declares, “If she refuses my request and is arrogant or harsh, then I must die of grief and languish forever from this ill” (Lais de Marie De France, Guigemar 48).

Next they row to the land of the Laestrygonians, they seem kind and willing to help, but instead eat some of the men for dinner and sink many of their ships. This is clearly an example of monstrousness in cannibal form. When Odysseus becomes Circe’s lover, the men stay there for a year.

The play “Cosi” demonstrates that relationships that are based on love that is not genuine will easily perish, through exemplifying the failed relationships of the
Cosi The particular aspect of love that is the focus of the play is fidelity; the notion of faithfulness, commitment and loyalty.
