Grande capolavoro rinascimentale tutto incentrato sulle vicende della prima Crociata, la Gerusalemme Liberata rappresenta di fatto una epopea Cristiana. Le avventure guerresche si intrecciano continuamente con passioni amorose, magie, nobili gesta, avventure, fughe, inseguimenti. Il Tasso attribuisce all'amore un ruolo centrale, in forte contrasto con il tema guerresco e religioso, intrecciando così conflitti epici e amorosi, motivi religiosi ed intenzioni profane, facendone un dramma Cristiano sempre in bilico tra peccato e redenzione.

La trama dell' Orlando Furioso è un grandioso susseguirsi di duelli e battaglie, di incontri imprevisti, di mostri e di magie, di castelli incantati e sterminati viaggi fin sulla luna. Il fascino di questo poema non risiede soltanto nel vertiginoso ritmo di avventure che vi sono narrate, ma anche dalla continua e naturale mescolanza fra realtà e sogno. Nel groviglio di storie che compongono il poema ritroviamo i temi dell'amicizia e dell'inganno, della fedeltà e della infedeltà, della lealtà e del tradimento, della prodezza e della superbia.
