1) The dead of the night represents how untrue their love actually is. The night always speaks to acts of disrespect and mischief much like the two of them sleeping around. The objects of light are representative of the small pieces of guiding light that seem to lend themselves to their meetings. Although they should not be meeting like this there is plenty to say for having a lover and desiring someone. Both of them understand that it is wrong and therefore need darkness to cover their wrong doings.
2) The love that the two of them share for each other is a falsehood. Each one only has desire for the chase, and lust for the sex and neither exhibits true love. The reason for keeping the wooden doors shut the first time was to prolong the chase, and to say that one loves another after meeting for merely minutes is impossible. I do not feel that any characters exhibit true love. Even his servants keep up a false act with their prostitutes of choice and all of it is based on lust only. I think the idea of love is so appealing that the text uses it so much to convey basic hormonal needs as appose to actual love.
