If you do not even know how to start, maybe you are studying the wrong course?.

Suggestions:-

1. Read some books about renaissance poetry.

2. Think about what the books said about love in the poetry.

3. Read some renaissance poetry.

4. Think about the ideas of love that you have seen in the poetry.

5. Talk about it to other students.

6. Talk about it to your teacher.

7. Decide what you want to write.

8. Write the essay.

9. Are you cute? If so, "be nice" to a male student, and get him to write the essay for you.

10. This is what some guy found by Google says:-

(I searched for "concepts of love in renaissance poetry" without the quotes)

Medieval and Renaissance literature develops the concepts of love and marriage and records the evolution of the relation between them. In Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, Christian love clashes with courtly love, as men and women grapple with such issues as which partner should rule in marriage, the proper, acceptable role of sex in marriage, and the importance of love as a basis for a successful marriage. Works by earlier writers portray the medieval literary notion of courtly love, the sexual attraction between a chivalric knight and his lady, often the knight's lord's wife. The woman, who generally held mastery in these relationships based on physical desire and consummation, dictated the terms of the knight's duties and obligations, much like a feudal lord over a vassal. This microcosm of romance between man and woman was anchored by the macrocosm of the bonds among men and their fealty to their lord. The dominance of women and fealty to the leader in courtly love contrasts with the dominance of men and fealty to God in Christian love.
