In sonnet 29 The Man is one of the most depressing men ever, very envious and insecure his own skin. Often the question asked is "how do you love someone when you cant even love yourself" The man is constantly depressed but the question asked is completely discredited in this sonnet. This man may be one of the most depressing bokes ever, but when he sees his Jane Doe his everlasting despair disipates. He makes the statement " Desiring this man’s art, and that man’s scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,Haply I think on thee, and then my state, Like to the lark at break of dayarising From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven’s gate. For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings That then I scorn to change my state with kings." The concept behind this is The memory of the speaker 's beloved makes up for all of life 's troubles. He turns from despondent to thankful. Sonnet 106 involves a man trying to express the beauty of his lover, then he realizes that after he, and many others tried to illustrate her magnificent beauty that one of such elegancy cannot be illustrated. her beauty is inexplicable. he makes the statement " Those of us who live now may be able to see your beauty firsthand and be …show more content…

Chapter 4: Sonnet 1: “From fairest creatures we desire increase, That thereby beauty's rose might never die, But as the riper should by time decease, His tender heir might bear his memory: But thou, contracted to thine own bright eyes, 5 Feed'st thy light'st flame with self-substantial fuel, Making a famine where abundance lies, Thyself thy foe, to thy sweet self too cruel.

Love is a complicated thing. A wise man once said, ”There is great pain in love, for we all have our flaws, but it’s all worth it in the end; it’s worth the sacrifice.” We all have our little imperfections, and we have all suffered because of them, but at one point in your life, someone will see those flaws and find them beautiful. That’s what love is. This theme can be seen in the play Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand and in the poem, O’ If I were loved as I desire to be by Alfred lord Tennyson.

It has been said that “beauty is pain” and in the case of this poem, it is quite literal. “For That He Looked Not Upon Her” written by George Gascoigne, a sixteenth century poet, is a poem in which the speaker cannot look upon the one he loves so that he will not be trapped by her enhanced beauty and looks. In the form of an English sonnet, the speaker uses miserable diction and visual imagery to tell the readers and his love why he cannot look upon her face. Containing three quatrains and a rhyming couplet at the end, this poem displays a perfect English sonnet using iambic pentameter to make it sound serious and conversational. This is significant because most sonnets are about love and each quatrain, in English sonnets, further the speaker’s

True love will continue going strong even if there are any physical changes to the people in the relationship. A common theme between Cyrano de Bergerac and Sonnet 18 is that true love can withstand anything, but the path to achieving that theme led the authors to use a variety of techniques.

The sonnet “For That He Looked Not upon Her” , written by english poet George Gascoigne, tells of a story between a man and a woman, and the speaker goes into details about their relationship with each other. The speaker describes his complex relationship with the woman, and using literary devices such as a confusing and conflicting tone, and almost victim-like metaphors, describes his attracted, but yet doubtful attitude towards the woman. The confusing and conflicting tone set within the story helps describe and expand the complex attitudes of the speaker. The speaker’s use of this tone shows how he has conflicted feelings to the woman, as if he wants to chase after her, but he knows that nothing good may come out of it.

Extra Credit Essay MP2 Nobody likes being a third wheel, and nobody likes to be alone while watching others succeed and or being happy when he or she is not. When being left out in the natural things that you tend to see around everywhere in society, it makes you feel jealous and unhappy.

They both show a central idea, of how man (any living thing), desire the comfort of companionship and or friendship to allow for them to be truly happy in their lives..

This Elizabethan sonnet by George Gascoigne is a tortured self-confession of one “He” who “looked not upon her.” Gascoigne effectively illustrates the speaker’s paradoxical feelings for a woman through a series of literary devices such as extended metaphors, imagery, and alliteration, developing an easily identifiable conflict between the speaker’s desire for his lover and fear of being hurt again. The first stanza introduces us to the central paradox of the poem: why does the speaker “take no delight” in ranging his eyes “about the gleams” on his lover’s beautiful face? To answer this question, the speaker employs two extended metaphors that vividly illustrate this conundrum.

In these short poems, the authors utilize particular rhetorical techniques and methods to reflect the speakers’ personality and motivation. Therefore, presenting the speaker becomes the main focus of the authors. In Shakespeare’s Sonnet 18 and Robert Browning’s “My Last Duchess,” both poems reflect the speakers’ traits through monologue, figurative language, and symbolism. However, these two speakers’ personalities are different due to their attitude toward their beloved. The speaker in Sonnet 18 is gentle and delighted but frustrated because the ideal metaphor comparison of summer is not perfect for describing his beloved; the poem thus suggests that the way you love others reflects how you feel about yourself.

At first, the world is characterized as “vile” (4), but as the poem progresses, it is “the wise world” (13). However, the speaker is merely being ironic and it is likely that in actuality, he is saying the world is malicious. The following line, “and mock you with me after I am gone” (14) implies that the world will be using the relationship between the two to mock the subject after the speaker is dead. Although both sonnets are ones which contain an elegiac mood, they differ in regards to enduring love. In “Sonnet 71”, Shakespeare argues that love will end as soon as death approaches which evidently shakes the foundation of the theme of love.

Love at first sight, a concept overused in every romantic comedy. It is the instant connection between two soulmates. It is the idealistic perfect love. This phenomenon of true love has been around since the Elizabethan Era, preserved in the writings by some of the greatest poets of all time. “Sonnet 116” written by Shakespeare and “A Valediction; Forbidding Mourning” by John Donne both strive to express their version of Neoplatonic love (an immaculate love).
