Further considerations on the language of love. Yesterday and Today.

With this work, I’m going to compare Shakespeare’s language of love and today’s language.
To do that, I have seen two videos that explain how people express their feelings.
In the first video, during a French exam, a boy has to write a letter to his best friend  so he started to think about him. He immediately understood how difficult is express something so personal. He wrote what he do with him and what are his feelings. During the video, the viewer can understand that this boy loves his friend, but that it is too difficult to express. He was afraid to being rejected and he was scared about what people could say about his love, because they are both men.

In the second video there were two adolescents, a boy and a girl. The boy wanted to know the girl, but she didn’t speak with him and she was listening to music. So he started to write her post-its. They were very shy and they communicated only writing. When he asked her to listen her music he heard nothing and he understood that she could not speaking and hearing. She was afraid, but he told her she is beautiful .
The problem is to express feelings, indeed people are afraid to being rejected. In Shakespearian age this problem was also so common as nowadays. The parts of the body that are involved in these videos are the same used by Shakespeare in his sonnets and they are cheeks, lips and eyes.
Shakespeare’s language of love is still used by people who want to express their sentiments.
