Essay / Analysis of the intense and secret ideas of love - 1444
As in quatrain three of Sonnet 116 where personification is used to show that love is not vulnerable to time, even if beauty is fades over time. Then he goes on to say that true love doesn't change, it lasts until Judgment Day and so on. Sonnet 116 ends with lines thirteen and fourteen saying, “If this be error and it has been proved to me, I never wrote, nor did any man ever love.” » Here the speaker expresses pure confidence in the written words he professes, if a mistake has been made then he has not written a word and no man has ever loved. The romantic concept that love does not change, but has the ability to survive death and admit no faults is the overall theme of the passage (Shakespeare's Varying Views of Love). The associated structures and devices illustrated in Sonnet 116 were also common in Sonnet 29 and continued to be relevant in Sonnet 130. In fact, the contrasting strategies of Sonnet 29 and the extreme statements made in Sonnet 116 combine in ways intellectual throughout Sonnet 130. of this sonnet incorporates many ironic contrasts with the beauty of his love and some inaccessible measures (SHAKESPEARE'S SONNETS). Unlike the previous sonnet, the author does not directly state the true beauty of his love, but he expresses what it is.
