    • 2 Pages

    Sonnet CXXX” is a spoof of the typical love sonnets written by Shakespeare’s contemporaries. It ridicules the senseless depictions that poets gave their lovers whereas in comparison the speaker in “Sonnet CXXX‚” illustrates his mistress with honest comments. These remarks declare her “true” character and show the speaker’s absolute and total adoration for her because of it. As the poem opens‚ in the first quatrain‚ we are introduced to the narrator’s‚ “I”‚ “mistress.” This term however‚ is not

    Shakespeare’s Sonnet 116 I chose this poem somewhat at random since I felt that the main point of this assignment was to read a poem and interpret it for ourselves with no influence from others. I think the most disputable‚ if not confusing‚ aspect of this poem to me was whom it was addressed to. It sounded to me like it was either self-reflection about what love is‚ or perhaps more likely advice to another person about love. I would like to discuss the structure of the poem for just

    Theme Although the most obvious theme in most of the Shakespearian sonnets‚ including this one‚ is love‚ there is always an underlying theme. In this poem‚ it is time; immortality and the transience of beauty. The speaker mentions numerous times throughout the poem that “every fair from fair sometime declines” be it that of nature‚ “summer’s lease hath all too short a date” and eventually Autumn begins in which the leaves shrivel and die‚ or that of the subject. From the third quatrain onwards‚

    Sonnet 18 Diction

    • 252 Words
    • 2 Pages

    William Shakespeare’s use of language in Sonnet 18 establishes an endearing tone in the poem. Firstly‚ the author uses diction in the text to support this tone of endearingness. For example‚ “But thy eternal summer shall not fade”(9). This entails that he is showing love and saying she is eternal‚ neverending‚ unlike summer. His word choice is enforcing the loving tone of the text. The phrase “shall not fade” further nailing in the idea of eternal love. Secondly‚ William Shakespeare uses specific
