Troubadour and Trobairitz Poetry

I found it very interesting how both authors of these poems are about the same topic of love, but yet the poetry is completely different.  This shows that both men and women have different feelings and beliefs toward love and have had different experiences with love as well.  In Troubadour's poems, the male has a needy, greedy, obsessive kind of love.  This is the reasoning which eventually allows him to be alone forever because he is so obsessed with the certain idea of love that he has.  In Trobairitz's poem, she is truly in love with her mate and she would do anything for him.  It is such a strong feeling that it takes over all of her and all that she would do for him.  She knows that she would never betray her man, yet and then she finds out that she has been betrayed by her man.  This shows that you can have all the love in the world for one person and still that doesn't mean they will equally feel the same or treat you the same way back.
