The poems contained within The Canzoniere are spellbinding tales of love. The object of this love is Laura, the ideal woman according to the author, Francesco Petrarch. Petrarch expresses his desire for true love and spiritual fulfillment through his yearnings for Laura.

In Petrarch’s opinion, Laura exemplifies perfection. Her every mannerism evokes feelings of passion and love in his heart and mind. He admires “her sweet presence and her soft, lovely glance.” (Petrarch 37) At first, Petrarch seeks physical consummation with Laura. This profane love is hampered by Laura’s unwillingness to fall for Petrarch and is eventually purified by her virtue. By the end of The Canzoniere, Petrarch’s love of the ideal, Laura, is transformed to the love of God. Consequently, Petrarch’s spiritual ideologies expand and dilate in ways he previously conceived unthinkable. This transformation takes place as a result of Petrarch’s newfound willingness to go through the fires of purification in order to spend eternity with his beloved Laura. In short, Petrarch reaches a new, more fulfilling understanding of God.
