    Shakespeare's Sonnet 116

Sonnet 116 describes examples of these traits‚ in which love is described to be the most powerful force‚ and even stronger than "tempests" and other aspects of nature. The initial lines of the sonnet describe how "love is not love"

    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

    • 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.
