My Mistresses Eyes Are Nothing Like The Sun Comparison

William Shakespeare has written not only plays but poems as well.the key poems here,today, include “Shall I Compare Thee To a Summer’s Day,” and “My Mistresses Eyes Are Nothing Like the Sun.”These two poems talk and describe love but in two very different ways and perspectives,yet they were written by the same poet.This can either be because he was in both situations or his inspiration just struck.Be it as it may,they still both express love in a faithful,passionate way and a not so desirable way.
The poem “Shall I Compare Thee To a Summer’s Day,”(which is sonnet 18), Talks about eternal love and things that come with it.”My Mistresses Eyes Are Nothing Like The Sun,” (which is sonnet 103), on the other hand, speaks of being faithful in a not
Sonnet 18 expresses the theme of how love can not compare to anything. Now, here’s the punchline while in sonnet 103 it gives the meaning of how faith is key.Well, like any other relationship, love needs faith so it can stay strong and thrive forward.This is where the two themes connect(also known as the punchline). Comparing love is mostly like comparing coal to the gold, because its obvious that you would prefer the gold any day.”summer’s lease hath all too short a date,” (sonnet 18, line 4) is the gold for this poems as to “thou art more lovely and more temperate,” (sonnet 18,line 2) is the coal. The gold tells the reader how the love will always be greater than the “summer,” (which the reader can sense as a symbolic object) that can refer to the other things in the world. The alternative gold however, illustrates the comparison to the summer and love , that explains how summer doesn’t last long enough but love is forever, demonstrating the theme of “Shall I Compare Thee To A Summer’s Day.” Don’t forget to include some interesting discoveries about “My Mistresses Eyes Are Nothing Like The Sun.” Here is the pro “I grant I never saw a goddess go,” (sonnet 103,line 11) and that explains how lack of faith can lead to a drastic conclusion like the reader’s love leaving or a death beckoning upon a couple like Romeo and Juliet. This explains how faith is a key ingredient to love like yeast is to bread dough.The con here, however, is “if hairs be wires, black wires from her head,”(line 4, sonnet 103). If the reader was to look over the poem, they would see that the narrator is explaining how his/her mistress can never compare to their one love. Except for the quote listed above where it gives the mistress a good trait, especially if the reader was to compare it to the other lines that gives good traits and how they will never compare to the mistress making him or her look
