Desire in Romeo and Juliet as well as in Tristan and Iseult

In Canto V of Dante’s Inferno, the narrator finds himself in the second circle of hell, where “a hellish storm, never resting, seizes and drives the spirits before it; smiting and whirling them about, it torments them” (75). The narrator learns that “to such torment are condemned the carnal sinners who subject reason to desire” (75).
What does it mean to subject reason to desire? Or as the Ancient Greeks might have languaged it, what does it mean to privilege Dionysus over
Apollo? Think about why Dante put those who followed their desires above all else into hell. Do you think those characters/people belong there?What role does desire play in The Romance of Tristan and Iseult and in The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet?
