Sonnet Rough Draft

523 Words3 Pages

I would have to say that this critics idea hits these sonnets right on the head so I would like to be able to expand on her argument so that I can possibly help anyone who doesn't understand fully understand or agree by giving more examples and questions that I would bring up in a longer essay. So as we have seen in the critics essay we have the first 126 sonnets being about a young male and the last twenty-eight being about a “dark lady”. Some of the evidence that I would use are looking at the sonnets in groups; showing a profession of a story for both the young male and the woman. If we look at the sonnets this way it makes both stories a little easier for the reader to grasp our idea. We first look at sonnets one through seventeen and we see how this is where Shakespear is trying to bring his young lover to him so that they can be together and create a family. …show more content…

At first we don't really see Shakespear as attached to this young man but when reading sonnet twenty-six you see that he has no progressed into becoming more attached to him then he originally planned, so attached that it changes his mood and demeanor when the young man isn't around. This weird attachment is seen all the way up to sonnet fifty-eight where we then see Shakespear getting bipolar with his emotions about this young man. A little twist in the story of the young man and Shakespear is how in sonnets forty to forty-two we see a friendship between the young man and Shakespear’s mistress and also in sonnets seventy-nine to eighty-seven where the young man has a friendship with a rival poet of Shakespear’s. The last few sonnets before we are introduced to the “dark lady” show how Shakespear drops his young male love but then decides to go back and apologize, even when he's done nothing

The more contemporary style of free verse rather than structurally rigid helps to create the more modern feeling of the overall work and in turn allows Mullens to shape Shakespeare's work in a new

Sonnet 16, By Elizabeth Barrett Browning

380 Words | 2 Pages

In Sonnet 16, written by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, the speaker is controlled by emotions and sees herself lowly, while her beloved is noble and is viewed as a worthier person. Through this sonnet, Browning shows that love has immense power. Throughout the poem, Elizabeth uses vivid images and detailed wording to show herself as a lowly, sad human and to show her lover like a higher being. From the first line to the seventh line of Sonnet 16, Elizabeth describes the lover like royalty, calling him “more noble and like a king” that “has” purple cloth (purple was commonly worn by the higher-ups); if he were to conquer her heart, it would make the lover “as lordly …/In lifting upward”.

Clink's Sonnet 30

521 Words | 3 Pages

If a recorded history of her brother’s activities were available to Clink, she would be able to not only be able to reconnect with her family and friends, but she would be able to talk with them and ask them for support in her time of need.
