How does the poet’s reference to the portrayal of love in films and songs contribute to the poem’s meaning
frozen [14]

This question is about the poem "What Love Isn't"

Answer:

They contribute by showing that lived love is very different from assisted or heard love.

Explanation:

The poem shows that experiencing love is completely different from everything we watch or hear, especially in relation to the films, because the films show an easy love, where everything is resolved quickly with happiness and joy. However, in real life, love goes through very difficult trials that can often overcome love.

Music on the other hand, has a more realistic view of love, but also idealized and very particular to the singer and composer. Since, each person has a different experience on how to love.
