Book of Good love

2) The author properly begins the text with the fable of the Greeks and Romans. Apart from being the comedy that it is there is a serious message here concerning reading interpretations and more.  I read this fable as being a competition between the Greeks and Romans.  The whole time through the poem/story i felt that the Romans were trying to gain some cultural aspects that the Greeks follow such as laws and a form of power that they portray.  I felt a lot of tension amongst the two especially when they were speaking through sign language, but eventually The Greeks saw that the Romans did deserve the laws through god.  That one common things brought there views together.  
4) After reading the assigned readings I really focused on the code of love presented by Love to the Archpriest, specifically upon the woman he verbally paints here.  When Archpriest states that such a woman does not exist and yet he will continue to compose poetry I feel hes continuing to believe something that might not be so true.  He is painting this picture of what a perfect woman should be like because he wants to be in love with a woman like that.  Also if the woman is not interested in him she just wont give him the time like in the poem when he sends the message to her. If she doesnt want any part she just wont reply.
