book of good love part two

In the text about the Mountain girls, the priest goes on a journey and asks these mountain girls for shelter. in order to get this shelter he must bring them gifts in exchange for shelter. in addition to this he has sex with the mountain girls. I think the mountain girls represent a personal journey and a journey through love. he starts out having sex with them and then he leaves to go onto his next destination. In addition to this the women also point him into the right direction for his next journey. I think that this symbolizes that the women provide as guides for him on his personal journey. after having sex with the first two mountain girls he then decides to marry the third one even though he said he did not want to get married. Then when he meets the 4th mountain girl he says that he can not offer her gifts or sex because he is already married. that seems to not be the only reason, he describes in grave detail how hideous this girl is. maybe if she was more attractive he would be more interested in her. The main in this story seems to only be interested in looks and also seems very promiscuous. I also think that the way this story is written it seems like in the first part we get an inner dialogue and what he thinks about the women and the situation from his perspective. then we get a song that he has written about each girls which seems to be a more glorified perspective of the encounter. the songs also make it seem that he had such an easy time getting them to have sex with him, which was not the case. I found this story to be very funny.
