Catullus 75

We have now seen Catullus's relationship with Lesbia go full circle. We started off seeing Catullus in love with Lesbia from a far and Lesbia talking bad about Catullus with her husband. Next we saw Catullus and Lesbia relationship blossom into a relationship or so what Catullus thought. Now we are see Catullus and Lesbia's relationship end due to Lesbia cheating on Catullus with someone else. In Catullus 75 you can see how hurt Catullus is. He said "I am not able to respect you even if you would become the best possible person I still don't respect you nor would I be able to stop loving you even if you were to do all." You can see how serious Catullus is in this poem. Also how much he was in love with Lesbia and how hurt he is. This poem had no Catullus sarcasm, only his hurt and passionate love he once had for Lesbia. Catullus says how Lesbia destroyed his mind. I think you could even say she was messing with his head. Maybe it was all a game, like the movie, How To Loose A Guy In Ten Days. I think once your a cheater you are always a cheater. Lesbia cheats on her husband with Catullus and now she cheats with someone else. This poem is just like 72. This is the poem when we find out Lesbia is cheating and how Catullus is handling it.
