    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

    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.

    Justifying Mutual Deceit A common conception of William Shakespeare’s poetry entails complex language and hidden meanings. Shakespeare is famous for his ability to author a web of images that creates layers of interpretations and understandings. In Sonnet 138 however‚ Shakespeare is more direct in describing his relationship with his lover by avoiding imagery and metaphors‚ explaining to the reader that this seemingly unconventional relationship is indeed justified. Shakespeare constructs a persona

    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‚

    • 4 Pages

    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‚

    "How Shakespeare Changed the Sonnet World" Although sonnets have been modified by individual poets and adapted to changing literary expectations‚ they usually still retained certain characteristics of the traditional Italian sonnet. Especially in terms of subject matter. Those early modern poets paved the way for Shakespeare’s sonnet‚ which diverges significantly from the traditional sonnet subject matter. His sonnets mark a turn towards a more sincere interiority‚ and take on many more subjects

    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
