Sonnet 144 By William Shakespeare

Delving into the awareness of sin, Sonnet 142 sums up the poet's whole fatuous and insatiable passion. He supports the woman's rejection of his love because he deems his love for her unworthy of him: "Love is my sin and thy dear virtue hate, / Hate of my sin, grounded on sinful loving." He cannot help loving her, but he despises himself for doing so. Note that in lines 1 and 2, the poet compares himself to the woman using opposite qualities: The poet's "Love" opposes the woman's "hate," and "my sin" contrasts to the cynical "thy dear virtue." He believes that he deserves her contempt because of her damnable behavior, not because of his. Yet the poet feels that he deserves the woman's pity because he shares her vice. Hurt by her rejection of

Compare William Shakespeare’s Sonnets 12 and 73 William Shakespeare (1564-1616) wrote a group of 154 sonnets between 1592 and 1597, which were compiled and published under the title 'Shakespeare's Sonnets' in 1609. The 154 poems are divided into two groups, a larger set, consisting of sonnets 1-126 which are addressed by the poet to a dear young man, the smaller group of sonnets 127-154 address another persona, a 'dark lady'. The larger set of sonnets display a deliberate sequence, a sonnet cycle akin to that used a decade earlier by the English poet Phillip Sidney (1554-1586) in 'Astrophel and Stella'. The themes of love and infidelity are dominant in both sets of poems, in the larger grouping; these themes are interwoven

Shakespeare follows the English style of sonnets, while Collins partially follows the Petrarchan style. Both sonnets include fourteen lines, a defining feature of the sonnet form. “My mistress’ eyes are…” consists of three quatrains that describes his argument on love cliches, and ends with a couplet, the turning point of English sonnets. The sonnet consists of ten syllables each line, following the rhythm of the iambic pentameter rule. Shakespeare’s sonnet follows the usual rhyme scheme of an English sonnet: abab cdcd efef gg. Collins attempts to stray from the general sonnet principles in contrast with Shakespeare. “Sonnet” loosely follows the Petrarchan style, as the lines are grouped into one octave and one sestet in structure. Collins’s “Sonnet” does not have a rhyme scheme, nor does the poem follow iambic pentameter. His sonnet does, however, present his turn in line 9, the beginning of the sestet. Collins begins poking fun at English sonnets in the octave, but then turns to joke at Petrarchan forms. Both sonnets have a lighthearted, humorous tone and parody classic styles of sonnets in different ways.

Most people across the world have heard of the Oreo Cookie and have their own way they think the cookie should be eaten. Whether a person is a one bite at a time, dunked in milk, twisted apart, or the whole thing at once kind of person, the consensus is that people everywhere love to indulge in these cookies. After the New York Biscuit Company and the American Biscuit and Manufacturing Company merged in the late 1800’s, the company became known as the National Biscuit Company. In 1971, the National Biscuit Company began to call themselves Nabisco and in the year 2000, Nabisco and the company known as Kraft merged. Through the years, the Oreo has seen some changes, not so much in the shape or design of the cookie, but in the flavors offered. Such flavors now include Double Stuff, Fudge covered, the color of the crème for the different holidays, and Birthday Cake just to name a few. Since the creation of the Oreo Cookie, the Nabisco company has sold over 300 billion Oreo’s, which makes them the number one selling cookie in the United States (Rosenberg, 2016). Since Nabisco is the largest producer of snack cookies and crackers in the world and contributes thirty percent or more to Kraft’s yearly revenue. Therefore, they are considered the strongest anchor Kraft has in its entire company of operations. The Oreo Cookie is a good addition to the product portfolio of the Nabisco/Kraft company as this cookie is a dominant product in the United States and

In “Sonnet 138” also known as “When My Love Swears that she is Made of Truth” is a sonnet written by William Shakespeare, has many examples of literary elements such as personification and various types of rhyme. In “Sonnet 138” the author writes the sonnet in iambic pentameter and writes in an ABAB, CDCD, EFEF, GG rhyme scheme. The narrator also includes examples of connotation and denotation to help change the meaning of the poem.

Is true love an unattainable ideal? Do we all have a soul mate? Is love just an exchange of lies for the purpose of flattery? These questions, and countless others, regarding love have been pondered by philosophers and pop music stars alike for hundreds of years. William Shakespeare examines these questions from two vantage points in “Sonnet 116” and “Sonnet 138.” Firstly, in “Sonnet 116”, Shakespeare analyzes love in a rhetorical manner, meaning that he is not discussing a specific relationship of his, but theorizing on the concept of love as a whole, in abstract terms. Conversely, in “Sonnet 138”, Shakespeare analyzes love in a specific manner. He looks inward to inspect a relationship between him and a woman, also known as The Dark Lady, and paints a much different picture of love than in “Sonnet 116”, in specific terms. In William Shakespeare’s “Sonnet 116” and “Sonnet 138”, Shakespeare analyzes love in abstract and specific terms; concluding that abstract love relies on affection, does not change or age, and is built upon a solid foundation of truth, while specific love, on the other hand, relies on lust, actively ignores change and aging, and revolves around deception. These two sonnets paint entirely adverse portraits of love in order to emphasize the dichotomy between the poet’s expectations of love, and the reality which does not live up to the poet’s expectations.

Each poem reflects the emotions that Shakespeare experiences with the duality of his love. Although each of these poems only show one half of this duality, "Sonnet 144" expresses both while giving a further basis for the understanding of "Sonnet 116" and "Sonnet 147." "Sonnet 144" opens with the line "Two loves I have of comfort and despair," (1). When used as a foundation, this opening line reveals that the reader can expect one of the two sonnets to deal with the comfort of love while the other deals with the despair of love. Shakespeare goes on to say, "The better angel is a man right fair, / The worser spirit a woman, colored ill." (144.3-4) which shows that he considers his young friend to be the comfort aspect of love and his dark woman to be the despair aspect of love. Shakespeare goes on to say that the dark woman tempted his young friend from his side. This shows that an affair has occurred between the young man and the dark woman. Taking this poem as a basis, the reader can better understand how "Sonnet 116" deals with the comfort of love and how "Sonnet 147" deals with the despair of love.

Matthew Casim, Solomon Joseph, Will Jones Sonnet Assessment (Sonnet 138) Period 5 10/11/16 “Lie”-ing on the Marriage Bed (694 words) Throughout his sonnets, William Shakespeare addresses questions of human psychology and morality, using tactful diction and syntax to convey a main point. Particularly, sonnets 127 to 154 present a dark lady as an appealing yet ultimately immoral lover. in Sonnet 138, Shakespeare presents a love relationship full of deceit through the subtle difference between knowledge and thought and “mind-games” between the speaker and his lover, the dark lady.

Both of these Petrarchan sonnets have a loose iambic pentameter, with a fairly simple and regular rhyme scheme, which appears at first to be a structure that constructs freedom and space. However, the fact that they have a form of structure at all, and are not merely blank verse, hints at a sense of cyclic monotony and, therefore, entrapment. Prefatory Sonnet is more purposefully structured than Lines Composed Upon Westminster Bridge; line thirteen (“who have felt the weight of too much liberty”) is written in contrasting trochaic meter, in turn emphasising the false perception of space created by people who think themselves surrounded by it. Each poem is monosyllabic in several places, such as the lines: “nuns fret not”, “should find short solace there, as I have found”, “earth has not any thing to shew more fair” and “at his own sweet will”. This emphasises polysyllabic words, like “narrow”, “prison”, “sundry”, “scanty”, “touching”, “garment” “solace” and “never”, which all highlight the sense of proximity and lacking that both poems inconspicuously convey. Using repetitive capital letters where not needed, Wordsworth draws attention towards words such as “cells”, “wheel”, and “city”; these industrially-associated (man-made) nouns refer to the heavy feeling of congestion that industrial places evoke. The capital letters also create a barrier in the structure of the poems, which adds to the cyclic limitations of space that they suggest. Jonathan M. Hess also argues that

Shakespeare’s 71st sonnet is short, but it contains an emotional tone..In the first couple of lines, the mood of the sonnet is one of gloom and impending doom. It is gloomy because it uses words such as fled, sullen, and warning. In line four the speaker's tone changes from gloomy to angry. He calls the world vile and says

In Sonnet 142 (which is commonly linked with Sonnet 141), the speaker addresses what critics have called the "Dark Lady," a woman the speaker loves; he challenges her to return his love, and supposes she is having other affairs.

     The sonnet, being one of the most traditional and recognized forms of poetry, has been used and altered in many time periods by writers to convey different messages to the audience. The strict constraints of the form have often been used to parallel the subject in the poem. Many times, the first three quatrains introduce the subject and build on one another, showing progression in the poem. The final couplet brings closure to the poem by bringing the main ideas together. On other occasions, the couplet makes a statement of irony or refutes the main idea with a counter statement. It leaves the reader with a last impression of what the author is trying to say.

It’s a Sunday afternoon, the sky is attractive and the sun scotching. The radio playing country music as a cowboy movie in the late 1900’s. The windows open, a fresh air blew under my eyes like an old air conditioning exposed to heat. My sun glasses pasted on my face. My eyes widely open enjoying the view of the train passing. My lips slightly exposed as I digest in the real scent of a sandwich coming straight of the greatest bakery store in the United Kingdom. I could hear people blowing their horns, I lifted my eyes and all I can see is a long row of cars at the entrance of Stone Mountain Park. At our turn, a nice white lady greeted us with a cute voice and ask for our parking permit there I noticed a long and an awesome day was awaiting

Shakespeare's Sonnet 138 is one of his sonnets about the Dark Lady. Dark both in appearance, and in her actions, she is once again the subject of the sonnet. The speaker is the lover of the Dark Lady. Whether the speaker is married to her or not is not completely clear. Based on lines regarding age “...she knows my days are past the best” (6), it seems
