Let me not to
marriage of the true minds
In the sonnet of William Shakespeare “Let me not to the
marriage of true minds “ I believe he describes that love is eternal. He
indicates that loves is eternal and no matter what happen love is forever until
death comes to you. He also believes that if he is wrong that then no men has
ever loved. It is really beautiful to understand how he describes what true
love should be and how a true love is unconditional.
What lips my lips
have kissed, and where and why
In this sonnet Edna St Vincent Millay she writes about how
sad she is for all the men that she forgot because not only she cant remember
all the men she has kiss but she also realizes how lonely she is now. She
compares herself to seasons and how she is like a tree in the winter, bare with
no leaves and no birds.
I believe both sonnets are different because William Shakespeare
sonnet speaks about how true love is eternal and in the Edna St Vincent Millay
sonnet speaks of past relationships of whom she can not remember to me this two
sonnet cant no be more opposite.
Yeah. I can see that. They more or less contradict each other in how they may view love. Shakespeare looks at it in more of a hopeless romantic way where as Millay sees it as more of a burden.
ReplyDeleteGood observations! If as you say Shakespeare's sonnet is about eternal love, what type of love is Millay's sonnet about?
ReplyDeleteJonathan- interesting, that you say love in Millay's sonnet is presented as a "burden." Can you elaborate?
