Detailed explanation-1: -Shakespeare is making fun of people’s obsession with looks. People cannot possibly live up to a false expectation of perfect beauty. People should love one another for who they are, not for the way the look.
Detailed explanation-2: -Shakespeare does not revert to the two-dimensional representations of love typical of the time but rather explores love as a non-perfect part of the human condition. Love in Shakespeare is a force of nature, earthy and sometimes uneasy.
Detailed explanation-3: -This sonnet attempts to define love, by telling both what it is and is not. In the first quatrain, the speaker says that love-”the marriage of true minds”-is perfect and unchanging; it does not “admit impediments, ” and it does not change when it find changes in the loved one.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
