Emilia Lanier: The Dark Lady in Shakespeare’s Sonnets For long centuries‚ two distinct‚ yet inextricably connected‚ mysteries have confounded the literary world. They are the actual identities of the “Fair Youth” and the “Dark Lady”‚ the chief protagonists‚ other than the poet/narrator‚ in William Shakespeare ’s sonnets. As the sonnets reflect a painful and complex triangle existing between the poet‚ the young man‚ and the dark woman‚ it is inevitable that theories as to the identity of one

William Shakespeare?s Sonnet "73‚" the speaker invokes a series of metaphors to characterize the nature of his old age. The structure of the sonnet also contributes to the meaning of the poem. In the first quatrain‚ there is the final season of a year; then‚ in the second quatrain‚ only the final hours of a day; and then‚ in the third quatrain‚ the final minutes of a fire‚ before the couplet resolves the argument.

last for eternity? I believe it can‚ and this is the concept Elizabeth Barrett Browning questions in her poem ‘Sonnet 14’. The idea that to be human is to experience the paradox of love and war is also explored in this poem. Barrett Browning delves deeply into the love side of this statement‚ although it is clear the persona is also undergoing an internal battle. 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

William Shakespeare’s Sonnet 130 (13). This is one of his most well-known sonnets and it also happens to be one of my favorite poems of all time. Shakespeare does not use words to falsify his mistress’ image; however‚ he uses them to tell the reality of her. This is what makes his love for her so special. She does not have to be perfect or even seem close to it for him to feel as he does about her. The use of diction‚ figurative language‚ and imagery in William Shakespeare’s Sonnet 130 reveal the narrator’s

In John Donne’s metaphysical poem ‘The Sun Rising’‚ he explores the valuable idea of love being stronger than time as love surpasses all boundaries. In contrast‚ Shakespeare’s sonnet 130 explores the reality of love being in the eye of the beholder and that true love is a chemistry that cannot be defined. Both of these poems‚ although from diverse eras‚ study the valuable notion of love and its true complexity. Time is undefeatable

In the poem Holy Sonnet 10‚ the speaker starts talking down on Death‚ whom he treats as a person. He tells Death not to be so proud‚ because he’s really not as scary or powerful as most people think. The speaker then starts talking in contradictions‚ saying that people don’t really die when they meet Death – and neither will the speaker. Then‚ he insults Death by comparing him to "rest and sleep‚" two things that aren’t scary at all. The speaker calls Death a "slave"‚ saying that death is just

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
