He is immediately smitten with her and begins to court her. However, Myrto is already engaged to another man, and Mastor's advances are rebuffed.As Mastor continues to pursue Myrto, he becomes increasingly jealous of her fianc����� and begins to plot against him. In a fit of rage, Mastor kills Myrto's fianc����� and is forced to flee into the wilderness.The rest of the poem follows Mastor as he wanders the countryside, tormented by guilt and haunted by the memory of his crime. Ultimately, he finds redemption through his love for Myrto and the forgiveness of the gods.Mastor: A Poem is a classic work of literature that explores timeless themes of love, jealousy, and redemption.
