The aim of this paper is to analyse the differences in the meanings of the circular movement in three narrative poems : Yenus and Adonis, The Rape of Lucrece and A Lover's Complaint. These poems focus on the problem as to what men's desire may bring to themselves or others. Desire, especially sexual desire, has no ending. Once his or her desire is satisfied with something, its condition to want something will be recovered. Such a condition of desire shows the circulation. In this paper we can find that Shakespeare fifives three different solutions for the circle of lust. Venus and Adonis has the perfect example of circulation. The condition of the season and the day may be read through the work. Venus' lust for Adonis, however, is stopped by his accidental death before it is satisfied. His death leads her to proceed to another way: she gets back her holy nature. lf she stays here, her desire will get back. Yet she chooses to go back to her native island. Her behaviour means that she deviates from the circle of the desire. On the other hand, The Rape of Lucrece has many imperfect circular movements. Although the desire of Tarquin, who is the prince of the present tyrant, is filled with Lucrece once, he cannot recover his lust again because Lucrece's death has himself exiled from the country. Lucrece's death also has some other meanings: the breaking of her illegitimate child off and escaping from herself who will be regarded as the author of unfaithful wives. Her death means to stop the wrong circular movements. The perfect circulation of the sexual desire may be seen in A Lover's Complaint. Because there are some symbols of the continual lust (a river and the presents sent by the man), the characters, the maid as a wooed and the man as a wooer, may not be able to lose their lust.
