There are different types of literary texts, one of them is the madrigal. A lyrical composition that has a short structure. This type of lyrical composition has love as its main theme, that is, the evocation of feelings.
This type of composition had an especially dominant role during Renaissance literature. There are authors who have stood out in a notable way in this genre: Dante and Petrarca are a clear example of this. In relation to the structure of this text, the author freely combines hendecasyllable and heptasyllable verses.
Expression of feelings
It is a composition that when paying attention to the expression of feelings has a very emotional character. It is a writing that has a bucolic tone that contains a great affective intensity since the verses show the truth of the heart through the feelings that the author has reflected.
It should be pointed out that this poetic structure does not require a certain number of verses since the author can freely decide to finish his composition in a single stanza. One of the characteristic notes of this type of literary writing is the musicality of the texts through a sound effect that produces an aesthetic beauty in the words.
The woman, inspiration of the author
This search for poetic beauty in the way of using words is consciously sought by the author. The relationship between this type of poetry and music is so evident that even some madrigals have been turned into songs.
In this poem, the author reflects his admiration and love for a lady who becomes the protagonist of the text and the author's source of inspiration. Poems that praise the feminine beauty of that woman who is presented as a symbol of perfection by having stolen the author's heart.
Love poems that could currently be used as an expression of love to seduce a person in a romantic way through a short poem with which to make the couple feel. Although the madrigal is not the most widely used poetic structure today, literary beauty never goes out of style.
