sjfgss-2373	Ferretti, Martina	Compulsory (hetero)sexuality and queer virginity in Troilus and Criseyde and Sappho and Phao	2023	10	.pdf	application/pdf	4522	214	63	Venus justifies her meddling with Sappho by saying that “she [is] amiable, and therefore must be pierced,” which brings together the lexicons of courtly love tradition (in that Sappho is worthy of and obligated to receive and bestow love due to her “amiability”) and brutality (l. I.i.52). Even Phao envisions Love as a conquering force, saying, “to yield to love is the only thing I hate,” again using the vocabulary of battle and surrender (ll. II.i.131- 132).	cache/sjfgss-2373.pdf	txt/sjfgss-2373.txt
