    Comparison of Shakespeare’s Sonnet 73 and Sonnet 116 William Shakespeare‚ in his Sonnet 73 and Sonnet 116‚ sets forth his vision of the unchanging‚ persistent and immovable nature of true love. According to Shakespeare‚ love is truly "till death do us part‚" and possibly beyond. Physical infirmity‚ the ravages of age‚ or even one’s partner’s inconstancy have no effect upon the affections of one who sincerely loves. His notion of love is not a romantic one in which an idealized vision

    introduced to Dante’s best friend Guido Cavalcanti in The Vita Nuova in the XXIV Chapter dedicated to Guido Cavalcanti. Dante believes here that Guido’s heart “[is] still marvelled at the beauty of this gentile Primavera [(Beatrice])” (Vita Nuova 759).

The “gaze” is quite proven by Dante’s summary of his own work following the poem‚ where he explains in warm-heartedness the “[happiness]

    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. That is why his
