Shakespeare himself appears to be the speaker in the poem‚ whereas the young man is to

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.

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. I say humorous because there is no use of over the top metaphors or allusions as he does not compare his love to a goddess nor compare her beauty to rare and beautiful objects found in nature.
