Pursuing political, religious, astrological, and literary lines of signification, Kirkham further argues persuasively that his Easter enamorment and long fictional relationship influenced Petrarch's with Laura rather than the other way around.
For example, H[ddot{u}]rrem Sultan's biography contained a similar pattern: a mamlukah beginning, the ruler's enamorment, the birth of a son, a junta at court in alliance with the ruler's elite guards, temporary ascendancy, competition with other harem women and her eventual demise.
For instance, with regard to the tension that Petrarch builds into the day of his enamorment, which he does by making it coincide with Good Friday, Boyle writes that the "description in the sonnet of enamorment would thus refer not to the eclipse of Good Friday but the classical figure of adynaton" (38).
