Anne Poindexter 11/18/12 English IV Mr. Tiller Analysis of Sonnet 81 William Shakespeare’s Sonnet 81 was meant to serve as an epitaph to immortalize its subject‚ a beloved youth. One of the themes of this sonnet is immortality through writing. Shakespeare claims that‚ “When all the breathers of this world are dead/ You shall live--such virtue hath my pen.” Shakespeare never mentions the name of his immortal subject‚ so in reality‚ no one remembers him. Although Shakespeare claims that

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

The Test of Time: An Analysis of Shakespeare’s Sixtieth Sonnet “You may delay‚ but time will not‚” remarked American inventor Benjamin Franklin. Franklin suggests that the relationship between people and time is a distant one because time is indifferent of the humans who rely on it. If one imagines himself walking alongside time‚ the natural rhythm of two moving together does not apply; if the person chooses to slow down‚ time will continue at its own pace regardless of its partner’s decision.

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.
