Transformation of Ovids Myth A young boy dies‚ who’s to blame? Daedelus and Icarus may be considered a tragic myth to some. Ovid’s myth‚ Ovid’s Metamorphoses: Daedelus and Icarus‚ gives a full analysis of the story. On the other hand‚ Sexton wrote a sonnet in order to teach a friend a lesson.

“Sonnet 75″ “One day I wrote her name upon the strand‚ Again I wrote it with a second hand‚ But came the tide‚ and made my pains his prey. Vain man‚ said she‚ that doest in vain assay A mortal thing so to immortalize‚ For I myself shall like to this decay‚ And eek my name be wiped out likewise.

Rossetti’s poem is set as an Italian sonnet. It has an octave and a sestet; the octave tells us about when you are remembering her and how you will never forget her. Then the theme changes at the start of the sestet and she comes to tell the reader about what actually happens if you do forget someone and that she would be happier if you just forgot about someone than remember them and be sad for eternity. The poet distinctly creates a separation between the two sections not just because of the changing
