    AN ANALYSIS OF AN EXTRACT FROM MARY WROTH’S SONNETT 14 The verse in hand is essentially a love sonnet‚ but rather than cite the wonders of the stars and her lovers eyes‚ Wroth is using the sonnet form to lament the inequalities of courtship and detail the agony of unrequited or forbidden love. The opening sentence ‘Am I thus conquer’d?’ sets a disparaging tone immediately and this escalates as Wroth continues to use rhetorical interrogatives throughout the poem. Perhaps the most notable example

    Sonnet 14 If thou must love me‚ let it be for nought Except for love’s sake only. Do not say ’I love her for her smile—her look—her way Of speaking gently‚—for a trick of thought That falls in well with mine‚ and certes¹ brought A sense of pleasant ease on such a day’— For these things in themselves‚ Beloved‚ may Be changed‚ or change for thee‚—and love‚ so wrought‚ May be unwrought so. Neither love me for Thine own dear pity’s wiping my cheeks dry‚— A creature might forget to weep‚ who

    last for eternity? I believe it can‚ and this is the concept Elizabeth Barrett Browning questions in her poem ‘Sonnet 14’.

The octet in ‘Sonnet 14’ describes the qualities that will fade over time‚ such as her smile‚ her looks and her voice. Her beauty and

It is like the persona is someone who has passed away and is speaking to her loved ones. She doesn’t feel it is right for them to stand and weep at her grave because it is just a body and not her anymore and even though she is dead and buried her spirit lives on.

But this “necklace” is a symbol of possession

    Overall‚ Sonnet 116 is in The Cannon because it is a well-written‚ influential poem that Shakespeare created to formally declare the definition of love. While I am particularly partial to poems‚ Frankenstein is an exceptional example of a novel that demonstrates what was important during the time it was written. Frankenstein follows the story of an eccentric scientist‚ Victor Frankenstein‚ who creates a destructive‚ vindictive being that destroys everything Victor cares about. Mary Shelley‚ throughout
