    Sonnet 75

    • 1075 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Both Spenser ’s Sonnet 75 and Shakespeare ’s Sonnet 19 similarly claim to bestow immortality upon the beloved. Despite similar themes‚ however‚ these sonnets contrast sharply. Spenser ’s sonnet ostensibly reports a conversation between the poet and his beloved‚ whereas Shakespeare ’s sonnet directly addresses personified time‚ and shows the greater dramatic flair. Spenser ’s first two words‚ "One day"‚ eschew drama by setting his poem in a vague and unparticularised past. Line 1 tells

Sonnet 30 is at the center of a sequence of sonnets dealing with the narrator’s growing attachment to the fair lord and the narrator’s paralyzing inability to function without him.

    Although sonnets were originally meant to glorify women‚ William Shakespeare satirizes the tradition of comparing one’s beloved to all things beautiful under the sun‚ and to things divine and immortal as well. The Shakespearean sonnet‚ according to Paul Fussel‚ “consists of three quatrains and a couplet” (Fussell‚ p. 123).1 Shakespeare’s Sonnet 130 is a clear parody of the conventional love sonnet. In fact‚ it is often said that the praise of his mistress is so negative that the reader is left with

    Love Prevails “Idea: Sonnet 61” by Michael Drayton is a fourteen line Petrarchan sonnet that dramatizes the conflicting emotions that arise from an intimate relationship coming to an abrupt end. After analyzing and doing several closer readings‚ I learned that “Idea: Sonnet 61” is actually about the poet’s own conflicting emotions and feelings from a harsh break up. However‚ it was no ordinary and flippant relationship. It was a serious relationship that involved great amounts of passion that
