Laura was the woman Petrarch fell in love with when he abandoned the idea of becoming a priest. Although he was very interested in her, she rejected him because she was already married.
Through Laura's lines a person that is considered an angel, and therefore will live forever, is unveiled before our eyes. She is described as the ideal woman, but she is also unreachable to the author. Laura is the love everyone deserves to find, but who only a few do.
