Regardless of their patriarchalism and apparent insensitivity to other people, in almost every element of their intellectual work (music, dance, sazings, etc.) the fleshly and instinctive, that had to be satisfied regardless of all bans and restraints, and the message doubtless confirms that he did live in accordance with instincts, but at the same time he had to respect criteria of patriarchal moral. In this work the autors cite several songs from this area and analyze it from the perspective of psychology and characterology, finding the elements of love joy and sorrow, cure, passion, women shyness, etc.
