Differences in strength, hormones, body structure, bone structure. Like when you draw a man figure, the body is usually a rectangle but when you draw a female, the body is an upside down triangle. Hormones like estrogen, only women have. Similarities are intelligence, appearance. Women and Men are treated differently, especially in the work place, because they used to be seen as lower class and we are thought of not being able to do some of the obs that men do, like manual labor because women don't have the same muscle mass or upper body strength as men do but men are also seen as not being able to do some jobs that women do, especially in households, because they don't have motherly instincts or they can't cook as well as women can.
Petrarch's Sonnet 18 is about Laura, her beauty and Petrarch's incapability to describe her beauty in a proper way.
His love for her is related in this sonnet. He is continually praising her beauty
"When first I saw thee I recall the time,
Pleasing as none shall ever please again."
"...Full oft I oped my lips to chant thy name..."
It is also a poem about defeat. He uses repeatedly negative words and phrases to state clearly that her beauty is impossible for him to describe, "unsung...in my rhyme". He hasn't got any possibilities to make a proper description of her beauty, nor to describe her brightness.
"But ah, the pen, the hand, the vein I boast,
At once were vanquish'd by the mighty theme!
He uses negative words and phrases to strengthen the idea of his inability to make a suitable portrayal of her because her beauty is such that it exceeds his chance to describe it. He hasn't got the strength nor the genius.
The conflict is your own pride can overcome your emotions which in the end leads to the death of himself.
I am pretty good at adjectives so let me know if you need help :)
