Love sonnets

gift to transpire heartaches, love and outrage, throughout all his literary creations. This gift protruded all through his many plays and sonnets that he ended up leaving as a part of his legacy. “Shakespeare wrote plays that capture the complete range of human emotion and conflict.” [1]. In my eyes, what allows Shakespeare to have become so incomparable, was his creative capability of simultaneously using the correct choice of word, tone and structure, to allow one sonnet, to have so many different

Compare the way love is presented in ‘Sonnet 43’ and ‘Ghazal’ Both poems, Sonnet 43 and Ghazal convey emotions and passionate feelings of love in different ways. Sonnets and Ghazals are poem that are meant to express strong feelings of love. Khalvati and Barrett Browning chose them to illustrate their loving feelings to their lovers. Barrett Browning does not correctly carry out all the rules of Sonnets in her poem which gives an effect that she would do anything for her lover and that there

for you, but you wanted it anyway? Love is something that is complicated and heady but so easily controls many. As there are many ways to love, it can be something that is equally bad and good for a person. In John Donne’s Holy Sonnet XIV, he captures this sort of uncontrollable and needy desire that comes with love. Throughout the poem he not only speaks of themes that include uncontrollable desire, and not having self-control when it comes to actions of love and sex; but he also builds up these

The ideas of love being expressed in Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing and Sonnet 130 are genuinely contrasting. In Much Ado About Nothing, one of the many focal points are Beatrice and Benedick’s foolish relationship, also the most captivating, whereas in Sonnet 130, Shakespeare is talking about the misrepresentation of the “Dark Lady”, who he refers to as his mistress. Regardless of a person’s flaws disfigurements, the stress they cause, and the bickering that occurs, love can withstand time

The representation of love is greatly influenced by the values of the context given by the composer allowing the same concept to be viewed and treated in a completely differently. This is shown in Scott Fitzgerald's novel ‘The Great Gatsby’ and Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s poems ‘Sonnets from the Portuguese’. Both these texts are characterised by their time period, Gatsby is set during the ‘Roaring Twenties’ shaped by materialism, decadence and the american dream meanwhile EBB is set in the victorian

Often times when a person is in love with someone, they’ll go to extraordinary lengths for them and even warp reality to make them happy. One example of this is when one describes the looks of their love and what in particular they like about them; the description might get blown out of proportion. In our society, the more that is said and even exaggerated the sweeter sounding it seems, and often times there is a focus on one’s physical attributes. In most works of love, this is the technique that is

When I read Sonnet 43, "How do I love thee?" I was very impressed with it. I have read a lot of things about love, and I do know a lot about love as well. When reading it, I was very intrigued with how much the writer described their love for this person, and the depths they went to describe it as well. It is a true love from what I can read, especially from the lines "I love thee to the depth and breadth and height", "I love thee purely, as they turn from praise. I love thee with the passion put

Love has the capability to change everything about a person’s life. My life was changed by love on the day I was born, and it continues to be changed by love today in various ways. Whether it is the love of a family member or the love of a significant other, love is able to alter a person’s life in the best way. However, there is a difference between love and true love. “Sonnet 116,” by William Shakespeare, captures the meaning of true love because true love is a constant, eternal, and guiding force

compared their loves to the goddesses and unattainable standards of beauty. In Sonnet 130, Shakespeare compares his lover to these unattainable beauty standards, but says that she is not like them. In lines 1-6, Shakespeare tells his readers that the woman’s eyes are not like the sun, her lips are not red, her breasts are not white, and she has black wiry hair. William Shakespeare shows his readers the difference between real and clichéd love in Sonnet 130 by contrasting the woman that he loves with the

nature of love. Two of his poems that are rather alike, but also very contrastive are “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?” and “My mistresses’ eyes are nothing like the sun.” They both contain a core theme of love or anti-love in some aspects. While these two poems are built around the same type of subject, their interpretations come across in separate ways. In contrast to Shakespeare’s “Sonnet 18” which is a serious love poem that contains imagery and metaphors, Shakespeare’s “Sonnet 130” is
