This poem reminded me of Everbody Loves Raymond. His parents are always arguing on the show but when it comes down to it in the end they love eachother. It's almost healthy to have a little fighting going on and this is why Catullus isn't bothered. Throughout it all he still believes that Lesia loves him and that's all that matters to him. She is still saying bad things about him, like in poem 83, and he still thinks it is because she is in love with him. I liked the way that Catullus used symmetry in this poem. In lines 2 and 4 he practically repeats himself, but it is effective. It sounds and looks attractive in the poem.
