Poem 7

This poem seems to be written at a time where both Catullus and Lesbia are having an affair. It seems to have been written during a part in the affair where they are both passionate about each other. Catullus does a good job explaining the this because he doesn't specifically state that they are having an affair but it shows because Catullus wants an infinite amount of kisses and there would be no other reason for this.

You ugly lady,
with bad feet and ugly eyes
You are so ugly.

Well, after reading the other three poems, I am happy that Lesbia loves Catullus because he was getting so worked up about her and now she is finally his. It still makes me think. If she is cheating on her husband, what if she starts to see someone else other than Catullus and what would he do if he were to find out.

Poem 83

Catullus must really hate Lesbia's lover. In my mind, a mule would probably have to the the most disrespectful thing to call someone. He doesn't even know the guy and he hates him so much. At the same time, I think that there is jealousy involved because Catullus probably wishes Lesbia was married to him.

Poem 2

Is this guy for real. He is jealous of a bird. This guy is plain creepy. He wants to have that bird so he can play with it. At the same time, sometimes he has me thinking, is that really a bird he's talking about. Seems to me like it can be something else. hmmmm.

First reaction, wow!!! This Catullus is crazy. Does he even know who this girl is. He is so in love with her and doesn't even know anything about her. Man, from the looks of it, Catullus might me a pervert because he is stalking some random girl and getting all crazy over her.
