Many families sent their children to schools run by Jesuit priests (like the one the narrator in attends) and convent schools run by nuns (like the one Mangan’s sister attends). Catholicism is often seen as a source of the frequent conflict in Irish culture between sensuality and asceticism‚ a conflict that figures prominently in Joyce’s

    True Love Transcends Time in Sonnet 116 Shakespeare talks about love‚ which can be one of the most difficult and confusing parts of life.

    Dawson College Work presented to Mr. Roy Cartlidge English 101 10/18/06 An explanation of Sonnet CXXX The poem I chose to analyze is Sonnet CXXX (130) by William Shakespeare. This poem can be seen as either a humorous tribute to his lover or a way to mock other poets of his time.
