Deny thy father and refuse thy name; or if thou will not, be but sworn my love and I’ll no longer be a Capulet “(II, ii, 33-36). These words of Juliet state that if Romeo will not look back to his father’s name, then she is willing to refuse the fact of being a Capulet just to be with him. “But, soft! What light through, yonder window breaks?!.. That I might touch that cheek!” (II, ii, 2-25) this was Romeo’s words when he started talking about how madly in love he is over Juliet.
Micheal Drayton’s ‘Sonnet 61’ seems to be an one-sided conversation between two former lovers. The persona- a man who us making an extremely difficult decision trying his best not to cave in- seems to still have perpetual feelings for his ex-lover. One part of him is not willing to give her any more of anything because he had showered so much love on her and feels like he has gotten nothing back. However, the power of his other part’s affection is so great that the thought of parting itself brings him to the brink of collapse. Drayton’s theme is typical Petrarchan a lover's passion and pangs for his mistress who is not responsive and love.
The last archetype I chose for Romeo was the fall. Romeo fits this archetype because after marrying Juliet (the love of his life) He gets an incomplete message from his trusty servant. This sends Romeo furious and his emotions in an uproar. Romeo goes to see if the news is true. When he arrived at the family chamber he sees her laying there still, he gives her one last gentle kiss on her lips.
However, in ‘The Manhunt’, the poet uses metaphors to refer to some of the husband’s body parts. His jaw is called a ‘blown hinge’ tells us that the husband can no longer open up to his wife about his feelings and emotions, and that he is keeping not able to communicate with his wife like he used to before war. This communication is what is making the wife question whether her husband will ever normal again. Just after the personification in the poem ‘Sonnet 116’, Shakespeare then adds, ‘though rosy lips and cheeks. During Shakespearean times, rosy lips and rosy cheeks were often used to describe beautiful girls, representing health, wellness, beauty and youth.
He uses persuasion at the start of the poem, but then starts charming his mistress by saying he’ll love her once they have sexual intercourse. One of the most obvious similarities between both poems are that they both have a male narrator. Both poems are also similar as they both contain lines about death. In Sonnet 116, Shakespeare is saying that if its true love what someone is going through then they shall love someone even until they die. “but bears it out even to the edge of doom” He is really saying, that no matter what happens through life, you shall love that person unconditionally even when they die.
Browing identifies herself through this poem by asking the perpetual question of “How Do I Love Thee?” Although she gives no detail as to whom she may love, it gives the reader a chance to relate to her writing. She uses this sonnet to try and express the ways in which she loves thee. This sonnet includes many formal attributes, and the ones they do include affect the overall outcome of her writing. The things in which are apparent are features, theme and sonnet form. Browing presents her poem in first person, making it clearly connected to her directly.
This idea is reinforced through the alliterated words ‘whinge and wine’. She scorns him by addressing with the words ‘grim’ and ‘swine’. The first stanza culminates with the expression of his ‘loyalty’ towards his wife and children, which prevents him from having the affair. Sophie makes a parody of ‘loyalty’ by making us reflect on the fact, how can a person be loyal when he has made up his mind to commit adultery. There is a caesura used with the word ‘fine’, to bring an appreciation on the man by the persona for his commitment towards his wife and children.
If the father fulfills his son;s requests to the best of his ability, he believes their relationship will last. Lee uses allegory by taking this small story to represent an entire relationship between a father and son. Li-Young Lee uses several literary devices in his poem "A Story" to show the complex relationship between a father and son. Lee utilizes structure, point of view, and allegory to represent the intricate relationship between a father and
As soon as they meet and get married they are instantly stuck together for life even if they are not married. According to Hester the marriage was never a true marriage out of love, but just an attempt at a better life, but despite this fact Chillingworth still loved and cared for Hester as if some kind of love would come back to him in return. This odd couple will forever be tied together because of the muddy past they had that was never resolved for Chillingworth until he finds out with whom Hester committed adultery with.
William Shakespeare establishes Benedick’s character by using diction and imagery to show his changed viewpoint on marriage. Benedick is strongly opinionated and rarely ever let’s his guard down when it comes to feelings or love. After he overhears that Beatrice is in love with him, he ponders what to do. The characterization is established through diction, “And wise, but for loving me; by my troth it is not addition to her wit, nor no great argument of her folly, for I will be horribly in love with her!” (II.3.235-237). He is saying that is might not be wise for loving him, but he swears it won’t be stupid for he is going to be “horribly” in love with her.
