    This love will be different and nothing will compare to this person. No poem nor song nor person could explain the feelings or love for that person. In Sonnet 130‚ Shakespeare wrote a sonnet about the person he loves and this love compares to no other. In most sonnets he has written he has compared beauty to the most beautiful things but this sonnet is different. He talks about her beauty but contrasted it from things that were beautiful. Shakespeare uses a critical and crucial tone to suggest that

    In the last four lines of the sonnet‚ Wyatt’s diction encompasses a more personal tone and reveals that the “deer” is an extended metaphor for his beloved “deare.” In the lines “And graven with diamond in letters plain / There is written‚ her fair neck round about‚ / “Noli me tangere‚ for Caesar’s I am‚ / And wild for to hold‚ though I seem tame (11-14).” At first glance‚ it is absurd to think that a wild animal would be wearing a diamond-encrusted necklace. But this “necklace” is a symbol of possession

The author sends a message that love can be just as strong as faith in a religious figure head. She compares him to her childlike faith‚ like how a child has a very forgiving

    Comment that the sonnet 130 of Shakespeare is an unconventional poem. Most of the sonnet sequences in Elizabethan England were modelled after that of Petrarch. Petrarch’s famous sonnet sequence was written as a series of love poems to an idealized and idolized mistress‚ Laura. In those sonnets Petrarch praises her beauty‚ her worth‚ and her perfection. He has used an extraordinary variety of metaphors‚ largely based on natural beauties. But in Shakespeare’s day these metaphors had already become

    Shakespeare’s Sonnet 092‚ the speaker has great ignorance of the term love. He is ignorance to believe that nothing shall go wrong with his relationship. Having the audacity to say that he will take his life if his lover rejects him with a bold demeanor. This way of seeing perfect love can be considered bliss. The way Shakespeare formatted the poem and his choice of words suggest that with love‚ there is ignorance. With ignorance‚ there comes bliss. At the beginning of the sonnet‚ the speaker starts

    Spirit in a Waste of Shame Where most poetry since Petrarch had been based on the unavailability of the love object‚ Shakespeare in sonnet 129 writes about exactly what happens when you get what you think you want. But contrary to expectations it is not an achievement devoutly to be wished‚ but rather an inevitable nightmare. It’s quite hard to pin down Sonnet 129 to one specific speech situation. Neither is there any “I” – a clear reference to a particular‚ personal experience - ‚ nor does it
