Detailed explanation-1: -Sonnet 143 employs an extended simile that compares the dark lady’s neglect of the speaker in favor of pursuing other men to a housewife’s neglect of her baby in favor of pursuing a runaway chicken. The implication is that, rather than spend time nurturing their relationship, she is chasing after other men.
Detailed explanation-2: -In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare presents the Prologue as a sonnet in order to point to the play’s themes of love and the feud because sonnets were often used to address the subject of love in conflict. The sonnet also draws on the audience’s expectations of the kinds of imagery that will be used.
Detailed explanation-3: -They reflect the different kinds of love and friendships encountered throughout life and reflect the personal nature of love itself.
Detailed explanation-4: -"Sonnet 130” opens with a simile-or, at least, something like a simile. The speaker uses the word “like” to compare two unlike things: his mistress’ eyes and the sun. But he says that her eyes are nothing like the sun, blocking the connection between the two things at the same moment he suggests it.
