Sonnet 18 by Petrarch is often seen as a poem about unattainable love, which can be interpreted as a form of defeat because the object of affection remains out of reach. The speaker's admiration and longing for the beloved, who is often idealized and distant, contribute to a sense of defeat in not being able to fully possess or be with them despite declaring their love. Additionally, themes of longing, rejection, and the passage of time in the sonnet can evoke feelings of defeat in the face of unrequited love.
