I turned to the last page of my most recent read. I could feel the soft paper as I traced the words that would end the novel. I breathed in deeply smelling the musty‚ sharp scent of the ink and paper of the book. Sighing the last words on the paper‚ I finished and closed the book.

I felt as if there were more important

Although sonnets were originally meant to glorify women‚ William Shakespeare satirizes the tradition of comparing one’s beloved to all things beautiful under the sun‚ and to things divine and immortal as well. The Shakespearean sonnet‚ according to Paul Fussel‚ “consists of three quatrains and a couplet” (Fussell‚ p. 123).1 Shakespeare’s Sonnet 130 is a clear parody of the conventional love sonnet. In fact‚ it is often said that the praise of his mistress is so negative that the reader is left with
