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.
Friar Lawrence affects the action of Romeo and Juliet by marrying Romeo and Juliet, helping Romeo escape Verona safely, and helping them reunite by giving Juliet a sleeping potion to fake her death. In Act II scene III, Friar Lawrence says, “For this alliance may so happy prove/ To turn your households’ rancor to pure love (II, iii, 94-95).” This means that Friar Lawrence will agree to marry them, but only because he hopes their marriage will end the feud between the Capulets and the Montagues. In Act III scene III, Friar Lawrence says, “Either be gone before the watch be set,/ Or by the break of day disguis’d from hence./ Sojourn in Mantua; I’ll find out your man,/ And he shall signify from time to time/ Every good hap to you that chances here (III,iii,171-175).” This quote states the plan that Friar Lawrence made to help Romeo escape Verona and keep him updated on what happens there. In Act IV scene II, Friar Lawrence says, “There’ll be no warmth or breath to prove that you’re alive. / The color in your lips and cheeks will fade/ to pale ashes; your eyelids will close/ like death when he shuts up the last day of your life (IV, ii, 100-103).” In this quote, he is describing the effects of the potion he will give Juliet to fake her death.
Is Romeo fearful of the future? Explain what he is saying in the following lines: “Then love-devouring death do he dare It is enough I may but call her mine.” (lines 7-8) He doesn’t really care about the future. Just that he can hold hands and be with Juliet right now is enough for him. 3. What warning does Friar Laurence give in lines 9-10?
Alternatively, it could mean that their love is so strong that it causes a change to the rhythm of the poem, as it conquers time. “To His Coy Mistress” is similar to this; it’s made up from rhyming couplets like “grow” and “slow” throughout the whole poem, which I think, is because the poem is meant to persuade his lover to sleep with him. The rhyming makes it sound witty and well-constructed; so the woman can understand it more easily and is more likely to want to sleep with him. However, like “Hour”, it contains some half rhyme “lie” with “eternity” and “try” with “virginity”. This is found in the second premise which is aimed at being realistic- the poem starts off with “but”- and the truth is often

The poet tends to use informal diction throughout the poem which demonstrates how the speaker seems to still be in that childish stage and is not admitting to his mistake. He refers to his “butterfingered way…of asking [her if she would marry him]”, and the word choice shows that he is reminiscing and inserting himself in that situation again. The word “butterfingered” is not only childish, but butter is used to soothe pain from burns, so it connects with the incident he described. The poet informs the readers that love is difficult to express, and this is perceptible because the poet has an irrational way of expressing his emotions to the girl he loves. He uses specific words that have buried meanings in them.
The connection between poetry and love this poem suggest is that when you fear yourself about death—you will think of everything. Before he die he would like to experience love, as in the last line it says “Till love and fame to nothingness do sink”. 3. Do you see a turn of thought in this sonnet? At the conclusion of the poem, does the speaker resolve his fears?
“...he was consumed with wonder at her presence… he was running down like an over-wound clock” (92) Gatsby’s love for Daisy was succorded by his deception of her image. This quote compares Gatsby to an overwound clock because Gatsby wants to ignore the lapse of time where they were separated and wants to have it revert back to when they loved each other in Louisville. Once Gatsby realized he had succeeded in acquiring his dream of Daisy’s affection, he no longer had the vitality of his allusion for what life could be with
