Catullus 51

This poem by catullus is actually an adaption of a greek pom written by Sapho. Both peoms however hold the same idea. Basically, the poem is about a man who is in love with a woman and is jelous of the other man she is with. In the poem he is watching them on a date together and compares the man to a god because he is with the woman he loves. The two themes of the poem are defidently jelousy and love. The tone of the poem is kind of sad because as a reader you feel bad for the writter who can't be with the woman he loves. Everyone has at one point really wanted something they couldn't have and for most, there has been someone they have liked who didn't like them back. That makes this poem very relatable because as a reader, you sympthise with the writter and can feel the emotions the writter wants you to feel. Love can make even the mst confident of people jelous and this poem really hits the nail on the head with that idea.
