Sonnet 116 : Literary Analysis
SONNET 116
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
Oh no! It is an ever fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken.
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come.
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
Sonnet 116 was all about True Love. Shakespeare makes his assertion of his thoughts about Love. “Love is not love, which alters when alteration finds”, I personally and strongly agree to his thought that love shall endure all the pains, obstacles, and risks of true love. It shall not be just taken away with external factors in life because in the first place it revolves between two individuals who displays and shows true affection of love.
I could say that I can relate to Shakespeare’s Sonnet, for the reason that I have felt the feeling of being in love and be loved. On his first line, a song came just right through my head while I was sitting next to a radio, the ‘Two is better than One’. Being alone makes life so simple, but this simplicity makes life so dull. Just like a quote, ‘No man is an island’, the art of love adds spice and an extraordinary satisfaction which no one could ever pay.
True love makes world go-round. The jive of joy, tears, fears, doubts, excitement and even revelations are the elements of why true love make you feel go-round. Love is love when you felt so weak, yet you overcome. Love is love when you shed tears in front of the mirror thinking of your loved one. Love is love when you go through challenges in life, taking risks not knowing what will happen next. Love doesn’t calculate or even
