Book of Duchess, The House of Fame and The
Parliament of Fowls. The Book of the Duchess, The
House of Fame and The Parliament of Fowls are the

and voices. Love has been around forever. It is
something that can not be controlled or found.

centuries back to the present, males looking only
for sex are still running the same games. To those
males full of lust, love does not exist in their
minds. They have one thing in mind and that is
sex. Males will go extraordinary measures to get
sex. In Christopher Marlowe's Hero and Leander,

The seven deadly sins are spoken of often and
frequently in every day life for that is what they
are affected with. All of these sins can
intertwine to form a domino effect of actions and
reactions that link to all of the sins. Once one

explosions and special effects. Books command a
bit more respect from the general public. Many

reading both the novel The Scarlet Letter by
Nathaniel Hawthorne and viewing the film produced
by Roland Joffe, one can immediately notice the

they put reason under lusts command. This sin is
the most natural sin; most nearly associated with
love and therefore the lightest sin with the least
graveness of punishment. Dante uses the
association of weight with sin throughout all of
his cantos. Therefore, the punishment related to
the weight of this sin is that the lustful souls
have to spend the rest of their lives swirling
about in a terrible storm. Dante then asks Virgil
to identify these...

Love For God Order To Reach

Final Writing Assignment The Inferno is part epic.
The theme in Canto II is that of courtly love:
much medieval literature deals with the love of a
knight for an unattainable and lovely lady. In the
literature of courtly love, the knights hopeless
devotion spurs him on to chivalric feats, which he
accomplishes in order to honor his chosen lady. In
some lyrics of courtly love, the perfection of the
desired lady undermines the religious morality of
the poetry: a Christian should love God above
