    construction. Thus, this means that whenever we study any text, we must develop a deep understanding of how the context impacts upon the purpose of the texts and the writers intended discourses. The comparative study of Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s sonnets of the Portuguese and Scott Fitzgerald’s Pros fiction ‘The Great Gatsby’ allow for a thorough evaluation of the relationship between the texts contexts and values. Both composers craft arguments on the nature of and value of life itself within the

    Hunt” by Sir Thomas Wyatt and “Sonnet 67” by Edmund Spenser are sonnets that are very similar at a first glance, but delving deeper, a difference can be found. Both of these sonnets use imagery and figures of speech relating to the hunt of an unobtainable woman as well as that central theme. Through a deeper analysis it is revealed that these two authors have a different interpretation of this failed hunt. A comparison and contrast of “Whoso List to Hunt” and “Sonnet 67” reveals that they are very

    For today’s analysis, I chose the poem “Sonnet” by Billy Collins. The author begins by stating “all we need is fourteen lines” causing the reader to believe the poem is, in fact, a sonnet (“Sonnet” 1).

For instance, the rhyme scheme of this poem is not that of a sonnet at all. Normally, a Petrarchan sonnet would follow an a-b-b-a, a-b-b-a, and so on;

    Elizabeth Barrett Browning wrote sonnet 43 in a series of sonnets titled Sonnets of the Portuguese. Although the individuals in the poem - the narrator and the lover - are ambiguous, there is a strong correlation between Browning's love life and that of the sonnet.

The theme that surrounds this sonnet is love and the different ways

    “Into My Own”, by Robert Frost, is a sonnet that explores much more than writing conventions. Frost writes his sonnet differently than the accepted norm of the time, and his subject is unlike any other: exploring the identity of a young adult. Frost, as usual, puts a spin on the normal conventions of poetry. He leans toward the English sonnet, writing in iambic pentameter with fourteen lines separated into three quatrains –a set of four lines --and a couplet set apart at the end. However, Frost
