My Mistress eyes

Have you ever wondered why Shakespeare uses so many descriptive words that could really be said in one? Or why some characters speak in rhyme and sometimes not? Shakespeare writes in this way to show how the characters feel through the rhythmic and descriptive words that they use. How the characters speak also shows how sincere and loving they are. Shakespeare had a way of writing that informed us about the characters and what we needed to know about them and also makes it interesting to read.

Metaphor, (stated or implied or extended) (balcony scene): But soft! What light through yonder window breaks? (Rom. 2. 2. 2). This is a stated metaphor because Romeo is comparing Juliet to the sun without using “like” or “as”.

A simile is used by the author in the quote,”Coral is far more red, than her lips red.” The author utilises this simile to compare the narrator’s mistress’ lips to coral. Coral are marine invertebrate which can be many different colors, including a vibrant red. The comparison the author makes is that of the redness

One of the most common forms of comparison is a simile. A simile is a figure of speech in which two unlike things are compared by using "like" or "as," generally used to make descriptions more vivid and emphatic. They are used in literary works frequently,

Both poets use the device of simile as to express their love. William Shakespeare uses simile as regarding the appearance of his mistress who he loves the most. He compares the look of his mistress to give an idea to his readers about the appearance of his mistress. Such as, it is written in the poem "My mistress's eyes are nothing like the sun" (line 1). By this line, he means that his mistress' eyes are not at all beautiful like a sun. On the other hand, Roethke uses simile as though the son got hurt by his father but the son still loves him. In his poem, “My Papa’s Waltz”, he writes, “hung on like death” (line 3). This line of simile means that the son is denying to leave his drunken father even if he is having trouble holding his drunk father. The reason is

she is the most beautiful girl ever on earth. William Shakespeare develops the changes in

“My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun;/Coral is far more red than her lips’ red;” (1-2) When one reads those lines in Shakespeare’s “My Mistress’ Eyes Are Nothing Like the Sun”, to a normal eye it may seem as if Shakespeare is attacking his mistress with harmful words for no reason in disgust. But in contrast, if one looks closer throughout the poem, one begins to find abnormalities in its text, to some individuals it would simply state it as just gibberish. As it turns out, Shakespeare was only poking fun at how others would never would have a relationship as pure as his; any other individual would paint their mistress out to be a beyond what she actually is. That gibberish is just one of the literary techniques that authors put in place

In many of his later comedies, Shakespeare developed a habit of having young men and women fall in love. These comedies, “previews of the modern theatre,” usually end in a marriage, and are very lighthearted in nature. At first glance, Shakespeare’s works may seem complicated. In many ways, they are extremely complex, but, diving deeper into his text, there is an underlining meaning that might be extracted through in depth coverage. The use of contrasting the apparent versus the real is substantial in his plays.

An example of a simile can be found in the 8th tercet of Stephen Dunn poem Sweetness where he writes “until we were speaking only in tones. Often a sweetness comes as if on loan, stay just long enough.” Often a sweetness comes as if on loan, stay just long enough is a simile comparing the sweetness of love to that of a loan and the length of time they both stay is just long enough. Another example is in The Heaven of Animals by James L. Dickey, he begins his first stanza with (Here they are. The soft eyes open.), Then he leads into a metaphor (If they have lived in a wood. It is a wood. If they have lived on plains it is grass, rolling under their feet forever) by stating these two metaphors James is trying to imply I direct comparison between where the animal lives to the animal being the woods itself, or the grass rolling under their

Function : Shakespeare uses Extended metaphor in his couplet to effectively epitomize that as we grow old only the outside of us changes but deeper inside we still are the same young person. When we are young we are better looking and get everyone's “gaze” at you and cause “every eye [to] doth dwell,” at your beauty. As we grow we change; like how the summer changes into winter we too have to eventually change from being young to becoming old. He says that flowers change their shape and form during the winter but their smell is still attractive. He compares himself to that of a broken down flower in the winter. The speaker implies that the essence of who he is doesn't change but his physical appearance changes him.

Shakespeare’s sonnets are considered to be some of the greatest and most eloquent poems in all of English literature. So by analyzing his genius in poetry and style, scholars and ordinary readers alike, try to understand the genius in the poet. There is very little known of Shakespeare’s personal life or feelings he had about himself. This being so a lot of scholars focus on his style and way of saying things to try and get a better understanding of Shakespeare the person. Many scholars have tried to get an insight into shakespeare by analyzing how and what he wrote. Many poets use poetry as a way to express their feelings and emotions, so readers of Shakespeare should be able to start to grasp a picture of who he was by reading his poetry and paying attention to the similarities and unique differences of his work to the norm of the day.

The Analysis of I All Alone Beweep William Shakespeare’s, Sonnet 29, conveys the idea of Shakespeare’s admiration for a certain man. Shakespeare yearns to be like this man, as he admires everything about him. The perfection of the man pushes Shakespeare into a depression and anger due to the both of them not being alike. Eventually, Shakespeare realizes he can be himself, but later reverts back to wanting to be the man again. William Shakespeare, in I All Alone Beweep, demonstrates the power one person can have over another by making the mysterious man seem perfect in order to bring to light this message.

Furthermore even though appearances may change, personalities don’t change and therefore true love doesn't change with appearance or time. I believe that the poet is endeavouring to express his personal feelings that love isn’t about appearance in addition to who looks the most attractive; it’s their personality which is substantial. True love can endure anything, including any alterations in their partners, ‘rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle’s compass come’. I conclude that Shakespeare is writing that appearance is an illusion towards true love which creates a romantic atmosphere in the poem, by making the reader think deeper about what it means to truly love someone.

Primarily, Shakespeare exemplifies the connotation between love and nature through the use of similes. “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day…” utilizes a more traditional response to

Speaking of “My Mistress’s Eyes are Nothing like the Sun,” today when one hears the word “mistress,” it does not sound like a good thing, but to Shakespeare, he prefers “mistress” as his darling. The poet dramatically talks about his unappealing mistress. The sonnet uses amusing descriptions, such as ridiculous comparisons, for example: “Coral is far more than her lip’s red; / If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun; / If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head” (lines 2-4). Coral is such a beautiful and classy red color, typical women love to wear red, like supermodels’ and celebrities’ lipstick color,
