Question:

Context - Courtly love

Author: Jenna Davis



Answer:

Presents the male lover who views his lady as unattainable and effects/pretends to be love sick, in torturous suffering and pain, while the object of his love adopts a cool and disdainful attitude towards him. Shakespeare drew on the context of Petrarch's courtly love poetry in his depiction of Romeo's false love for Rosaline.
