Sonnet 138 Analysis In “When my love swears that she is made of truth‚” William Shakespeare uses personification‚ pun‚ and tone to unmask the fear that the speaker feels towards his age.

The speaker’s mentality is referred to as woman because women are always self conscious of their age: “And wherefore say not I that I am old?” (line 10). The speaker can’t admit that he is old.

Analysis of Sonnet” An introduction should keep a reader’s attention for more than one sentence‚ hopefully. It should aim to have more sentences than the amount of letters in “should.” It should explain in a paragraph a brief summary of what’s to come. It should…shouldn’t it?
