book of good love day one

This text begins with the fable of the Greeks and Romans. Although this seems to be a comedy there is a serious message here. I interpret this fable as a kind of rivalry between the Greeks and Roman.Throughout the text it seemed that the Romans were trying to adopt some of the cultural aspects that the Greeks follow such as laws and the same sort of power that they had during this time. the text portrayed tension between the two cultures. this is especially seen when they are signing to each other. The main theme of the code of love was presented in Love to the Archpriest, specifically upon the woman he paints here. When Archpriest states that such a woman does not exist and yet he will continue to compose poetry I feel he's choosing to believe something that might not exist in the real world.He is painting the picture of what a perfect woman should be like because he wants fall in love with a a perfect woman. This only perpetuates the idea that the perfect woman exists, which is absolutely not true. no one is perfect or ever will be perfect.  in addition if the woman is not interested in him she wont give him the time of day like when he sends the message to her, If she does not want to be part of the love that he is showing  she just wont reply to the message that he sent her.
