Abstract

In a wondrous dream, one gets to hear the consolation from the God of Love. Guillaume de Lorris created this allegoric world in which our beautiful lover was introduced. Everyone has or will have the experience of falling in love, whether it is religious, romantic, or family-bounded. This work analyzes the first part of The Romance of the Rose, which is written by Guillaume de Lorris. Discussing the symbols and characters, this work digs into the perspective that the author holds about virtues, religion, and love. The love in the book is of pure emotion, which differentiated itself from love based on a marriage that is mentioned as a sin in other medieval works.
