How does the poet's reference to the portrayal of love in films and songs contribute to the poem's meaning (Lines 17-19) ?

Answer: The answer is provided below

Explanation:

The poem titled "What Love Isn't" has few lines about songs and movies. The particular lines 17 to 19 in the poem are "good sometimes. It is discomfort - it isn't what the films say. Only songs get it right."

The poem here in the first sentence refers to love not everytime being a five star stay and that even though it is a solid thing, it is not always sweet.

The reference shows that real life love can end up having an unhappy ending and this brings about conflict in the real life and with movies because in the ending of movies, it is always happiness and shows that love conquers all. Many songs tell the story of sadness, breaking up, and real emotions.

The theme of the poem shows that love is difficult, irregular, and will always be a surprising aspect of life.
