What Shakespeare and Donne have in common is that numerous of their sonnets have a universal theme of love as well as their desire for a loved one. The most distinct theme in Shakespeare and Donne’s sonnets and plays is true and eternal love. In Shakespeare’s Sonnet 116 and Donne’s “The Flea,” marriage is illustrated similarity even though both of the poets have different views on marriage. In this analysis, both Shakespeare’s Sonnet 116 and Donne’s “The Flea” will be observed for the reoccurring theme of love as well as how both writers define marriage.

Written by one of the greatest poets of all time, Sonnet 144 is among one of William Shakespeare 's most popular poems. To understand the meaning of this poem it is important to read the complete sequence of Shakespeare 's sonnets. Sonnets 1-126 are addressed to Shakespeare 's admired friend, a young man superior in social station and sonnets 127-152 are about his mistress, a dark lady, who charms the young man into an affair (POWERPOINT). Although the complete sequence of sonnets were not published until 1609, many of his sonnets circulated privately among his friends. Without Shakespeare 's autorization, in 1599, sonnets 138 and 144, amongst others were published in William Jaggard 's collection of miscllany, The Passionatte Pilgrim(597). In sonnet 144 he describes the battle between good and evil and the relationship he shares with the youth and the dark lady. The trappings of desire is the overarching theme of this specific sonnet and is written in aimbic pentameter. It follows the rhyme scheme of abab cdcd efef gg. The arguement proceeds by quatrains with a summarizing heroic couplet at the end.

William Shakespeare’s “Sonnet 138” depicts the relationship of a couple, who many believe to be the author and his mistress, a woman referred to as the dark lady. The sonnet’s immense use of imagery causes the reader to imagine the sonnet as a play where the characters are covered by masks. Furthermore the sonnet illustrates that through lies, characters are able to hide themselves and become something they are not. By changing oneself, one gives into mediocrity, because if one puts on a mask to be like everyone else, then that individual will never be able to be themselves. Although “Sonnet 138” depicts the speakers’ willingness to settle for false love and put on a mask, Sonnet 138 depicts a relationship that its very survival is based

As long as they tell these lies they will love each other and remain happy because “faults by lies we flatter’d be” (14). They don’t mind that their mistruths are only protecting them and helping them forget the unbearable truth. Longing lies is like lamination for long lasting love. The fact that Shakespeare wrote this a number of decades ago and it still relates to relationships today is unbelievable. This sonnet relates to everyday relationships currently by deciding whether it is better to tell the truth or lie to your lover to make them happy and more confident in their insecurities. Today “Sonnet 138”, still relates to the biggest debate in a relationship, of when one should lie just to make their lover happy or when one should tell the truth even though it may hurt. Happiness is the key a brighter future, and everyone wants happiness because it is one of the greatest emotions to feel. When you are hurt by someone it is one of the worst emotions to feel. This sonnet shows, people should just make their spouse happy and life will be better for everyone, because there would be less stress and more loving from there significant other by making them feel confident in their biggest insecurities as well as making a life that is wanted, not hated from the pain caused by the truth. The truth may hurt well lies seem to be a better interpretation of happiness and

Throughout this sonnet, he uses a dark type of humor to shine a light on the reality of what having homosexual desires in the 16th century was really like. Shakespeare uses gay semiotics and a persuasive tone to express his sexual desire and real world attachment to Henry Wriothesley. The gay semiotics in Sonnet 135 are generally portrayed through the word “will”

The speaker alternates between professing great love and professing great worry as he speculates about the young man’s misbehavior and the dark lady’s multiple sexual partners. As the young man and the dark lady begin an affair, the speaker imagines himself caught in a love triangle, mourning the loss of his friendship with the man and love with the woman, and he laments having fallen in love with the woman in the first place. In Sonnet 137, the speaker personifies love, calls him a simpleton, and criticizes him for removing his powers of perception. It was love that caused the speaker to make mistakes and poor judgments. Elsewhere the speaker calls love a disease as a way of demonstrating the physical pain of emotional wounds.

Using many different literary techniques, he was able to make the argument that you can still love and trust your partner and accept their misdeeds, because you have indiscretions of your own. In Sonnet 138, the poet’s use of figurative language helps to communicate the idea that although people may lie to their loved ones, it’s acceptable because each lover

One of the major themes in Romeo and Juliet is Love and its difficulties. Shakespeare tends to use this often in his plays and verses to create many emotions an effects. The relations and comparisons between the Acts/scenes and sonnets (18,129,36,29) in the play are studied in detail to understand Love and its difficulties. Shakespeare shows us how Love and relationships can change depending on situations by using the sonnets/ scenes and different language /imagery. This play was written during the Elizabethan era and this gives us an insight of what things were like in such a patriarchal society.

In many of Shakespeare’s sonnets, he emphasizes the subjective experience of love; however, he never wallows in his feelings to a conceited extent. Actually, he labels narcissism as incompatible with real love in some of his other sonnets and in his comedy Twelfth Night. Although his narcissistic characters, especially Malvolio, Orsino, Olivia (from his comedy), and the Young Man (from his sonnets), believe themselves to be experiencing passion, their foolish self-indulgence inhibits them from finding true love, as it causes them to act contrary to nature, misinterpret others’ intentions, and misplace certain desires. Conversely, other characters not blocked by self-love, particularly Viola and the Speaker of the Sonnets, can find actual love, since they correctly understand others and themselves.

In this sonnet, he shows the unhealthy and torturous aspect of love. Shakespeare's sonnet, “Sonnet 147,” relies heavily on personification, as well as metaphors and similes. Shakespeare’s sonnet starts with, “My love is a fever, longing still for that which longer nurseth the disease.” He uses a simile to compare his love to a fever. He writes, “My reason, the physician to my love, angry that his prescriptions are not kept.”

ambition and longing to be King causes him to set up the murder of his

Shakespeare examines love in two different ways in Sonnets 116 and 130. In the first, love is treated in its most ideal form as an uncompromising force (indeed, as the greatest force in the universe); in the latter sonnet, Shakespeare treats love from a more practical aspect: it is viewed simply and realistically without ornament. Yet both sonnets are justifiable in and of themselves, for neither misrepresents love or speaks of it slightingly. Indeed, Shakespeare illustrates two qualities of love in the two sonnets: its potential and its objectivity. This paper will compare and contrast the two sonnets by Shakespeare and show how they represent two different attitudes to love.

‘Sonnet 116’ by William Shakespeare and ‘What Lips My Lips Have Kissed, And Where, And Why” by Edna St. Vincent Millay are both sonnets that discuss companionship and a glimpse of each poet’s experiences. In ‘Sonnet 116’, Shakespeare illustrates how capability is weakened by its metaphysical stereotype and ideals such as, love, while on the contrary, in ‘What Lips My Lips Have Kissed, And Where, And Why” Millay feeds on the chaos between the ideal of love and its harsh reality, heartbreak. Both poets seem to be love struck but there is a significant difference in the two. I will compare and contrast ‘Sonnet 116’ by William Shakespeare and ‘What Lips My Lips Have Kissed, And Where, And Why” by Edna St. Vincent Millay. I will also inquire and analyze why this particular form of poetry established different effects.

Victimology is the study of victims, and the role victim plays in a criminal act. It encompasses the concept of victim facilitation, victim precipitation, and victim provocation. The concepts are used to avert blame on the victim and to understand the interaction between victims and offenders(McEvoy and Kirsten, p.534). Moreover, victimology also focuses on the connections between victims and other social groups such as medias and other institutions.
