This is how a 21st century love story goes: Boy meets girl. Two days after that‚ the boy tells her the 3 “magical” words...“I love you”… hold on‚ here’s the funny part. She believes him. People nowadays don’t value love. They don’t understand that the word “love” isn’t just a 4 letter word… It’s way beyond that. This is what William Shakespeare is trying to clarify in his Sonnet 116. He wants to expound what love is‚ & what it isn’t. Using a couple of metaphors‚ Shakespeare’s main aim is to elucidate

Proffitt ENG 243 Phil Ferguson 11-17-14 Sonnet 130 William Shakespeare’s 130th sonnet is perhaps the most intriguing and conceptually bizarre. The majority of his sonnets on the subject of women detail how lovely and fair they are‚ or how he is unable to serenade them (often because of a superior man); this particular example is an utter contradiction to his other female-based works. The central idea of the speaker here is to describe the appearance of his love interest to someone else‚ in the most

Sonnet 1‚ by W. Shakespeare From fairest creatures we desire increase‚ That thereby beauty’s rose might never die‚ But as the riper should by time decease‚ His tender heir might bear his memory: But thou‚ contracted to thine own bright eyes‚ Feed’st thy light’s flame with self-substantial fuel‚ Making a famine where abundance lies‚ Thyself thy foe‚ to thy sweet self too cruel. Thou that art now the world’s fresh ornament And only herald to the gaudy spring‚ Within thine own bud buriest thy

Sonnet 73 Marissa Brown Writing 122 In Sonnet 73 by William Shakespeare‚ he describes scenes of nature at a time of their endings to place pictures in mind of how he feels he is losing his youth. He feels his life has little time left like leaves on a tree towards the end of fall. In realizing this‚ he knows he doesn’t want to be completely gone such as the “sunset fadeth in the west”. He wants to be continued to be loved and remembered such as ashes that are left after a burning fire. As Shakespeare

final quatrain of the sonnet tells how the beloved differs from the summer in that respect: his beauty will last forever (“Thy eternal summer shall not fade...”) and never die. In the couplet‚ the speaker explains how the beloved’s beauty will accomplish this feat‚ and not perish because it is preserved in the poem‚ which will last forever; it will live “as long as men can breathe or eyes can see.” THEMES: LOVE: Sonnet 18 opens up looking an awful lot like a traditional love poem‚ but by the end
