Answer:

The notion of the phoenix probably means that love gives her hope for a change or better life. The phoenix symbolizes being recreated or reborn.

Explanation:

It is likely the author means that women often feel like love is their escape or that once they find a husband they can be reborn from having to succumb always to the wills of men in her life. A phoenix is a mythological bird that is reborn again after burning, emerging from the ashes as reborn. Love gives them hope for a time but then the "disturbed rest" and "painful signs" suggest that she suffers because of love as well. The entire poem laments the position of women at that time which was conceived as normally controlled by and subservient to men.

<span>introduces an opposing view, then refutes it logically and respectfully

The majority of an argument should be spent supporting your side of it, but the counterargument is important as well. The counterargument should be briefly introduced and then refuted with logical and respectful details from your side of the argument. </span>
