By doing so, Meredith is able to justify his overarching message that applies to all: love is a feeling that cannot be artificially replicated, and attempting to do so is only a detriment.

The author uses figurative language analogy to describe how love is not dull. “ Like a batik created from many emotional colors, it is a fabric whose pattern and brightness vary”.

Two texts that provide an excellent example of this type of language are Marie de France’s Lanval and Margery Kempe’s The Book of Margery Kempe.
