Welcome to European Studies!
Today we discussed love and romance...our views of them and how they differ, and what images or words best represent love for us. We also had a short discussion about Shakespeare's view of love in Romeo and Juliet and whether it was similar to our view. Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet in the Renaissance, but you might be surprised to see that some of his ideas come from the Middle Ages. As we start studying European Literature, we will be looking for the answers to the following questions: what was the medieval view of love? What connections are there, if any, between our view of love and the medieval view of love?
