The Perils Of Intimacy And The Passionate Shepherd To His...

Compare using literary and linguistic techniques how love is presented in â€Å"The Perils Of Intimacy† and â€Å"The Passionate Shepherd To His Love† Written in two completely different time periods, both texts clearly address the theme of love and the connotations surrounding it in mainly two diverse ways. â€Å"The Passionate Shepherd To His Love† arguably has the main theme of male dominance, which is ultimately prominent throughout the poem, and how gender ultimately feeds into the experience of love.

Chronologically, because this podcast was composed centuries after â€Å"The Passionate Shepherd To His Love† and is relatively recent, the narrator may have intentionally not specifically focused on the theme of love in regards to sex due to the heightened attention sexual relationships are given in the media nowadays - showing a clear differentiation to â€Å"The Passionate Shepherd To His Love† in the way certain c onnoted themes like sex are presented once describing love.
