Catullus, Yeonsoo Kim

I felt somehow familiar with the poem, Catullus. As I keep thinking about it, I realized that the poem of Catullus is kind of similar to the previous poem that we read; Sappho. Maybe the reason I felt like that is the main topic and the mood of the poem was similar. They expressed their emotions very passionately, especially for romantic feeling. With emphasizing that mood too much, both poems contain sexual presentations throughout their literary work. But they also have some dark contents, like death and depression. I think as much as the poet is stressing out the extreme emotions, the poem seems more dynamic. It brings reader interest for poem, however if too much, it might cause adverse reaction for the readers.
