“Of Love” By Francis Bacon is a comparison of love and what it does to the people that are supposedly in its trap. It begins with a comparison of love to a stage, like a performance. From what Bacon is saying, it portrays the qualities of love with its comedy, its tragedy, mischief, and fury. Bacon said that love is multidimensional like a play. Bacon then begins to say that love can make people act a certain way. He said that people who are consumed by love will realize that they have "great spirits" and "weak passions." He said in the essay that “There is in man’s nature, a secret inclination and motion, towards love of others, which if it be not spent upon someone or a few, doth naturally spread itself towards many, and maketh men become humane and charitable; as it is seen sometime in friars. Nuptial love maketh mankind; friendly love perfecteth it; but wanton love corrupteth, and embaseth it.” At this point, Bacon begins to admit that love, does in fact, possess a power which no one can control. It does not matter who it is, or how mentally strong they are. Love will, itself, expand to the people who are around him.

“Of Cunning” By Bacon he’s showing us that he has a plethora of his opinions on the idea. Although he doesn’t have anything nice to say about it. What he has to say is that he’s devoted most of this essay was made for describing the traits of a cunning person. The level of intensity embedded within Bacon’s writing can lead the reader into believing Mr. Bacon was tricked by a man that was considered a trickster that was told to be praised as a trickster at that time. Bacon begins to inform the readers that the trickster is a liar; that the ignorance and the shortcoming of others is what they like to pray upon. Bacon told the readers that the way that the cunning men justify their actions is in a negative way. They distract with tales and dissuade with stories to distract them from what they were doing originally. They always laid low in order to find the right moment when they can put their ideas to play and their motives were always towards a self-serving purpose. Cunning men were described as people who got information from others through questioning, which made them know people better. Bacon said they were often compared to being called wise man.
