1. The first prologue in The book of good love is a lengthy plee to god to be saved. The author lists the times that God has saved someone and begs the lord to save him as well. While the author keeps saying he is in prison, i can't help but wonder if the jail he is talking about is Love. The second prologue merely describes what happened leading up to the writing of the book.
2. The first fable in the book was quite humorous to me. It is a warning to the reader to not misinterpret the work, and thus the word of Love. The author goes even further after the story to assert to the reader that everything in this book means exactly what it says; that if you think something is wrong, it is right; and that if you are wise you will interpret it the right way, but if you're a fool you will only take away foolishness. I think this is a good point to make when writing a text about love that is supposedly from the mouth of love itself.
