Sonnets... early forms of the "chick flick" ?

I enjoyed reading the sonnets in class VERY much. That is most likely because I am an absolute sucker for anything moderately romantic. If you know me, your probably thinking I'm lying, but seriously, I cry at movies at the drop of a hat. I especially enjoyed the Spenserian sonnets. Spenser invented his own sonnet form which is more intricate than the others, but makes sense in what he is writing about: love. There is nothing uncomplicated or simple about love. Everyday people fall in and out of love, and while in love, they fall in and out of their very complicated feelings towards the other person. It's complicated. Of course, I personally wouldn't know, but I've watched enough chick flicks to have a general (and shallow) idea of what love is all about. The line "Till I in hand her yet half trembling took" is absolute magic. I totally understand what this is all about. You have the girl (deer) wild, and beautiful, she's a striking type, and the kind of safe, nerdy guy who wants her SO bad. For years he chases her, perhaps through adolescence, all the way to adulthood, but she runs, and plays with his feelings, she likes to "quench her thirst at the next brook." Until finally, she gets tired of going to new brooks and running away. She sees a type of safety in the hunter because he has been around for so long. She is trembling, scared to love him, but once she walks to him, she knows she is safe. It's all so adorable that I can't even stand it. The next sonnet is a little dark, but I like it. It shows a less "happy-go-lucky" side to the hunting. He talks about a vain girl that he chased and chased. He knows shes knows she's a fox and that she could have anyone she wants. This irritates him because he thinks she is making the wrong choices (not him) so he back lashed HARDCORE. Some good disses in this sonnet. It says, "All other fair, like flowers, untimely fade," which is obviously pointing to the idea that looks do not last forever. So although he was tempted by her looks (along with everyone else) he is basically saying "you ain't gonna be pretty forever sweet cheeks, so you better change the TUDE" and "I don't want your vain butt anyway, you soon-to-be old hag!" It the harsh but honest truth. Men are not as dumb as we would like to think. Well, some of them... and finally we get back to the gushy stuff. "Our love shall live, and later life renew." Poetic, simple, defining. Thank you Spenser! Again he is trying to prove to a woman, that love does not mean fear. Be bold, love and you will be rewarded with a full and nurtured life. Is this guy really a dude? I think I'd be flattered but kind of turned off if he wrote me one these sonnets. Just proves what women really want, a butt head. We can't decide what we want, and there are so many poor Spenser's running around trying to figure it out.
