Misinterpretations often reduce this poetic expression of admiration to mere lustful objectification, overlooking its context in mutual, covenantal love, or allegorize it exclusively as God's love for Israel or the Church while ignoring the Song's primary celebration of human marital passion. Another error applies it to casual flattery or non-committed relationships, missing the book's emphasis on exclusive, delight-filled devotion.
