To some death is the end, but in the end, it is also the beginning. Shakespeare wrote many Sonnets about life, death, and love. Shakespeare's 71st Sonnet is one such Sonnet that focuses on these traits. In “Sonnet 71”, Shakespeare wrote of a man passing and his loved ones mourning him.

For my TV show I chose The Fresh Prince of Bell-Air. The Fresh Prince is a well-known TV show that aired in the 90’s and made Will Smith into one of the best black actors of our time. This show pushed itself into the public eye and sitting in 2016 right now, no one really says anything about it but this is one of the first major shows (other than The Cosby Show) to portray African American’s in a positive light. We get to know these characters throughout the seasons and everyone loves them. Everyone loves how smooth Will is with females, and how Carlton is such a nerd, and how Hillary is as greedy as the day is long, and we see Ashley grow up. We have all of this regular family programming but it also hits on real life subjects. Will is black

Death is a theme that is used all too often in literature. Usually when people encounter death, they come to expect certain feelings. Whether someone they know has passed away, or they are just reading a play in which someone dies; death is often associated with feelings of anger, depression, and denial. In a play titled Wit, Margaret Edson depicts stages of dying through a woman who is diagnosed with ovarian cancer. In his holy sonnet “Death, Be Not Proud”, John Donne challenges death in a way that illustrates his belief that there is an afterlife.
Corporations across the globe deal in international business practices every day. When a company must to do business in countries with a high level of corruption, a company should have a plan that helps to maintain control over a key piece of intellectual property or some production process component that allows company to maintain power in the relationship.
The ending couplet sums up the main idea of the sonnet. It continues with the image of eternity and the memory of the addressee. When Shakespeare writes “So, till the judgment that yourself arise / you live in this and dwell in lovers eyes” there is still an emphasis on the word of the poem itself.
William Shakespeare's "Sonnet 73: That Time of Year Thou Mayest in Me Behold" is a sonnet that examines the fears and anxieties that surround growing old and dying -- a topic that resonates within us all. Shakespeare's use of metaphor to illustrate decay and passing are striking, and sets a somber tone throughout. He uses the season of Fall, the coming of night, and the burning out of a flame as metaphors for old age and death, and then uses the last two lines to suggest that we should love and cherish life while we can.
Sonnet 73 by William Shakespeare is widely read and studied. But what is Shakespeare trying to say? Though it seems there will not be a simple answer, for a better understanding of Shakespeare's Sonnet 73, this essay offers an explication of the sonnet from The Norton Anthology of English Literature:
The next quatrain lapses into a more mundane metaphor. The seeming proximity of sleep and death has long been a subject of English poetry. One noteworthy aspect of the metaphor here, though, is that Shakespeare doesn't use death to meditate on the melancholy aspect of sleep, but uses sleep to speculate on the "restful" aspect of death. The image which opens the quatrain, the sunset, is standard; his life is at the point of fading into darkness. But the sleep which night brings is not presented too fearfully here, because night brings "Death's second self that seals up all in
In Shakespeare's carpe diem poem, “Sonnet 73”, the orator did a poor job at attempting to seduce his younger lover. The orator attempted to choose which emotions would most likely assist in bringing his young lover to his position. In doing so, the orator imagined which approach would be successful, what feelings he was trying to provoke, and how these feelings would blend together to make his young lover be in the mood for sexual relations.
In "Sonnet 73", the speaker uses a series of metaphors to characterize what he perceives to be the nature of his old age. This poem is not simply a procession of interchangeable metaphors; it is the story of the speaker slowly coming to grips with the finality of his age and his impermanence in time.
Everyone in the world has heard the phrase “that little thing called love.” It’s a simple word; no difficult spelling, no complex pronunciation. It’s such a basic, easy to say word. It should have a brief definition. But love is not small, It is not simple. It is not the easiest to understand love. This complexity of love is expressed when writer Pablo Neruda describes “A planet entwined with vistas and foliage, a plain, a rock, hard and unoccupied; we wanted to build a strong nest”
Shakespeare's use of putting pictures in your mind and physical things that refer to ideas or emotions in 14-line poem 116 hints that love is a constant feeling of love, hate, guilt, etc., which never gives up to time. Love is a feeling of love, hate, and guilt, which all of us have an idea of. In fact, a lot of us may even have experienced what we thought of to be true love. However, does such thing mixed in the level of this feeling of love, hate, and guilt actually exist, and if it does are we able to define it? This is something that William Shakespeare feels strongly about in 'Sonnet 116'.
Poetry can help authors bring forward many different emotions through just the themes that they choose to deliver. Some poets show their sadness, disgust, unashamedly talk about their romantic relationships, and most of the time love. Poets can change the entire poem just by the mood that they set, the tone that they are using, or the imagery that they use to describe. Shakespeare is a big example of using different themes, tones and imagery. In three of his sonnets they deal with romantic love and they have been very widely popular throughout many years even though some of his writing can be hard to decipher.
William Shakespeare used the word and the concept of death many times throughout his writing. The poem, “The Time of Year,” is one of the many sonnets that Shakespeare wrote.
