Linking Sonnets From The Portuguese to The Great Gatsby 1. The Theme of Love Sonnet 1. Love enters and transforms our life as totally‚ as unanswerably as Death.

William Shakespeare’s Sonnet 130 (13). This is one of his most well-known sonnets and it also happens to be one of my favorite poems of all time.

In John Donne’s metaphysical poem ‘The Sun Rising’‚ he explores the valuable idea of love being stronger than time as love surpasses all boundaries. In contrast‚ Shakespeare’s sonnet 130 explores the reality of love being in the eye of the beholder and that true love is a chemistry that cannot be defined.
