Detailed explanation-1: -Summary: Sonnet 130 This sonnet compares the speaker’s lover to a number of other beauties-and never in the lover’s favor. Her eyes are “nothing like the sun, ” her lips are less red than coral; compared to white snow, her breasts are dun-colored, and her hairs are like black wires on her head.
Detailed explanation-2: -An English sonnet is comprised of three quatrains and ends with a couplet. The resolution or volta does not come until the final rhymed couplet making a powerful ending statement.
Detailed explanation-3: -Throughout his sonnets, Shakespeare clearly implies that love hurts. Yet despite the emotional and physical pain, like the speaker, we continue falling in love. Shakespeare shows that falling in love is an inescapable aspect of the human condition-indeed, expressing love is part of what makes us human.
Detailed explanation-4: -In Sonnet 116, Shakespeare characterises love as a permanent and unending state. The poem’s imagery contrasts nature and human values that may change over time – such as ‘rosy lips or cheeks’ – with the all-powerful force of love.
