I agree, this poem is very interesting.  Views regarding love and sexual intimacy haven't changed much.  "Metaphors of men mastering women" makes it evident of how women were viewed in society during the day.  You talked about how Ovid wrote it because he felt Tristia.  What is Tristia and how does that relate to his work?

I think this poem is very interesting, however I'm not sure if I would save it for future generations.  Many people have written about love and their views about intimacy and I don't believe the poem, after learning about it in this reading, has provided much influence to society today. So I don't think it would be very beneficial in the future.

Thanks for spending time to research it!
