The image implicates that the mistress is the opposite of being innocent and pure. The next images are expanded to two lines. In lines 5 and 6, Shakespeare states that the colour of her cheeks is not like the colour of roses, which is again a negative simile. The alliteration grants, goddess, go underlines the smooth and fluent walk of the goddess. To sum up the rhetorical devices used in Sonnet , it can be said that Shakespeare uses many different and strong imageries for one extended argument.
Her outside beauty mirrors her virtues and she is depicted as the ideal woman or even as a goddess. In order to show the perfection of the beloved lady, it was common to make comparisons between her and nature. In Sonnet , Shakespeare changes the traditional concept.
Spenser, like Petrarch, praises his lady in this poem. An Analysis of Shakespeare's Sonnet The concept of love and beauty Hausarbeit, 10 Seiten, Note: 2,0. In den Warenkorb.
Table of Contents 1. Introduction 2. Analysis of Sonnet 2. I love to hear her speak, yet well I know That music hath a far more pleasing sound: I grant I never saw a goddess go, My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground: And yet by heaven, I think my love as rare, As any she belied with false compare.
Associated with Petrarch, this style was also popular in Elizabethan England. However, Shakespeare boldly countered this traditional style, as evidenced by this very sonnet. I have seen roses damasked, red and white, But no such roses see I in her cheeks; And in some perfumes is there more delight Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know That music hath a far more pleasing sound; I grant I never saw a goddess go; My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground.

Sonnet When I do count the clock that tells the time. Sonnet When my love swears that she is made of truth.
Sonnet My love is as a fever, longing still. Sonnet Devouring Time, blunt thou the lion's paws. The verses of the Sonnet will make him eternal cf. Sonnet 18, verse 11, This idea of someone who never loses his beauty or never dies can be connected to the idea that summer and sun is only temporary. The link leads to the thought that the addressee has obtained a higher position than the sun, the largest thing in universe.
While there are sunrises and sunsets in the world, the addressee is always there and will never disappear like the sun does at night. This idea is stressed by the closing couplet in which it says that as long as mankind can read, this poem will live and with this poem, the addressee as well cf. Sonnet 18, verse 13, Conspicuous is also the use of personal pronouns in this Sonnet. Upon first glance, the reader gets the thought that this poem is written to a man.
This pronoun is used to characterize the sun which is mentioned in the line before cf. Sonnet 18, verse 5. The whole poem therefore does not let on who the addressee of this poem could be, however the historical background does.
As mentioned before, the author talks to the addressee in the third quatrain directly. It is noticeable that this is not a conversation but more a monologue because the author talks to the addressee, but he does not respond. In this metaphor, the source domain is gardening, and the target domain is time. The idea is that if someone trims a hedge, something goes away; Death also takes the time away.
The poem is an ironic way to show the Petrachan conventions. In the Elizabethan age, these conventions were used to describe the beauty of a woman. The author compares her with several things like the sun and the snow and portray her less beautiful than these things.
Martin, Throughout the Sonnet, there is a different communicative situation between the addresser and the addressee. From verse two to twelve, the author compares her external beauty, the beauty which everyone can see. Nevertheless, in verse thirteen and fourteen, he points out that her outer beauty does not matter and that she is not comparable with anything.
There is no hint in this Sonnet about where the addresser and the addressee could be situated. Sonnet , verse 5ff , the reader gets the feeling that these comparisons are only seen by the lyrical persona.
Sonnet , verse The change comes in the last verses when the lyrical I calls his mistress as his love cf. It highlights her value and special position in his life. Apart from the form of the sonnet, the rhyme plays also an important role. Sonnet verse 1, 3 , she is still exceptional for him and not comparable with anything else cf. Sonnet verse 13, Sonnet by William Shakespeare.
