Shakespeare's Sonnet 116/Portfolio

Analisis Sonnet 116 Shakespeare

1. Let me not to the marriage of true minds

2. Admit impediments. Love is not love

3. Which alters when it alteration finds,

4. Or bends with the remover to remove:

• no; it is an ever-fixed mark,

1. That looks on tempests, and is never shaken;

2. It is the star to every wandering bark,

3. Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.

4. Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks

5. Within his bending sickle's compass come;

6. Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,

7. But bears it out even to the edge of doom.

8. If this be error and upon me proved,

9. I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

The first 4 lines talk about people who are in love, will not stop loving each other because love doesn’t change with any simple circumstance, there is always a way of forgiving.

The fifth line is about the fights you might face or have with your loved one, and no matter how difficult the problem or obstacle is or looks, love will not be altered, they will still love each other.

Lines 6th and 7th talk about the new experiencies and moments you’ll have, you will have a whole new path. When you love someone, you know what love is and how it’s supposed to be, but you will only know that’s true when you live it and how much will you love each other.

8th line talks about that love is not always beauty and pretty faces, at the end, time will consume that and it will be worthless.

9th and 10th talk about how love will not change through time or the “few” moments you have together.

11th Love stays and remains till the end.

12 and 13th if this is all wrong, all his writings were false and no man has ever been loved.

Plot: Love

Motif: alters
