    Overall‚ Sonnet 116 is in The Cannon because it is a well-written‚ influential poem that Shakespeare created to formally declare the definition of love. While I am particularly partial to poems‚ Frankenstein is an exceptional example of a novel that demonstrates what was important during the time it was written. Frankenstein follows the story of an eccentric scientist‚ Victor Frankenstein‚ who creates a destructive‚ vindictive being that destroys everything Victor cares about. Mary Shelley‚ throughout

    personification to show that love is eternal and accepting in Sonnet 116 and his use of conceit and imagery to highlight the visual flaws of the speaker’s partner in Sonnet 130 convey the idea that small imperfections in love are irrelevant. In Sonnet 116‚ Shakespeare writes that love “is the star to every wandering bark” (line 7). This comparision of love to a star guiding a ship through the sea signifies how love can get people through difficult times. He also compares love to “an ever-fixed mark that

    The best way to tackle Sonnet 18 is by breaking up the Quatrains and the Couplet. The first thing to look at is the opening stanza: Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May‚ And summer’s lease hath all too short a date: The first thing to note is line one. It is a prompt. Looking at the sonnets in a bigger picture it is comprised into two sentences. Shakespeare asks us‚ and more reasonably‚ himself‚ if he shall

    Poems used: John Keats’ ’On the Sonnet’ 1848 If by dull rhymes our English must be chained‚  And‚ like Andromeda‚ the Sonnet sweet  Fettered‚ in spite of painéd loveliness;  Let us find out‚ if we must be constrained‚  Sandals more interwoven and complete  To fit the naked foot of poesy;  Let us inspect the lyre‚ and weigh the stress  Of every chord‚ and see what may be gained  By ear industrious‚ and attention meet;  Misers of sound and syllable‚ no less  Than Midas of his coinage‚

    Sonnet 69 was written by Pablo Neruda in the 20th century.  As I was reading the original sonnet‚ I was filled with inner joy and love.  The original sonnet brings profound feelings‚ flashbacks‚ and makes you and the sonnet feel as if one.  However‚ the translation of sonnet 69 does not. It is rather dull and brings no sense of joy.                 In sonnet 69‚ the type of figurative language that is being used is hyperbole; which helps create emphasis. In Stanza 2‚ the line “like the red beginning
