For starters, both use strong literary devices. In the quotes “to hot the eye of heaven shines” from sonnet 18 and “Death’s second self” from 73: Shakespeare use personification to give attributes of life to the sun and makes death seem as though it is a walking, breathing person. Another device that Shakespeare takes advantage of his metaphors. For example, the snippets “these boughs which shake against the cold” and “summers lease hath all too short a date” are both excellent use of the device. The final major similarity is the use of nature in the poems, specifically summer and fall seasons.
Poem Comparison Sonnet 18 & Sonnet 73 Sonnet 18 and 73 are similar in a way that they are both metaphors where the life of a person, or the person itself, is being compared to nature. However, they are being compared to different seasons of the year, one as eternal summer, the other one as aging autumn. In Sonnet 18, Shakespeare compares his beloved one to a summer’s day, but is actually showing how much better she is. He says she is “more lovely and more temperate” unlike summer that has its dark, cold and rainy days. His beloved one doesn’t lose her bloom like all the other flowers when faced with “rough winds”.
The theme of love in the tragedy by William Shakespeare "Romeo and Juliet". «Romeo and Juliet» is one of the immortal works of Shakespeare, which is relevant in our time. In his work, I want to try revealing the theme of love tragedy. But first, I want to say a few words about the author. William Shakespeare was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist.
All of the places mentioned are key settings for some of Shakespeare's most famous works, this shows how special Hathaway considers the couple's lovemaking. Similarly, On My first Sonne demonstrates a feeling of love but also sadness. The poem is written by Ben Jonson and is about the unfortunate and sad loss of his son. Jonson say’s “My sinne was too much hope of thee, lov’d boy”. This demonstrates the extent of love Jonson felt for his son, so much in fact that he views it as a “sinne”.
ENG 162W Due 3 March 2014 Lynda Chu Essay #1 Allen Ginsberg, one of the most influential poets to gain fame during the Beats Movement; has openly admired and drawn great influence from transcendentalist Walt Whitman. Both writers lived during times of cultural and political revolutions in the United States; and both poets used their poetry as a conduit for their views and opinions. Whitman so deeply influenced Ginsberg’s literature that many critics argue that Ginsberg’s “Howl” could be considered a response to Whitman’s “Song of Myself”. In the following essay we will examine the shared poetic structure, themes, symbols and most importantly the differences in Ginsberg and Whitman’s poems. Whitman’s influence on Ginsberg is prevalent in the first sentence of “Howl” in which Ginsberg begins his poem with the line “I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness.” In Whitman’s “Song of Myself” the author begins his poem in a similar fashion stating, “I celebrate myself, and what I assume you shall assume.” Both authors wish to connect with the readers and depict their personal thoughts.
Nathanael’s literary style and theme of his stories were passionate romanticism and mainly dark romanticism. The spectacular author had many amazing works and so many popular books. One of his greatest works was The Scarlet Letter (1850) and Twice-Told Tales (1837). Edgar Allan Poe once said, "The style of Hawthorne is purity itself. His tone is singularly effective—wild, plaintive, thoughtful, and in full accordance with his themes... We look upon him as one of the few men of indisputable genius to whom our country has as yet given birth".
Don’t just check him out. Read him.” — Russell Banks “Everything Is Illuminated is a gift, a wonder, a work of profound technical achievement and near-prescient empathetic connection. It’s also very funny.

1 SHAKESPEARE’S SONNETS (PARTIAL LISTING) & ANALYSIS XVIII (18) Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date: Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimmed, And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed: But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st, Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st, So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. This is one of the most famous of all the sonnets, justifiably so. But it would be a mistake to take it entirely in isolation, for it links in with so many of the other sonnets through the themes of the descriptive power of verse; the ability of the poet to depict the fair youth adequately, or not; and the immortality conveyed through being hymned in these 'eternal lines'. It is noticeable that here the poet is full of confidence that his verse will live as long as there are people drawing breath upon the earth, whereas later he apologises for his poor wit and his humble lines which are inadequate to encompass all the youth's excellence.
Sonnet 18, one of Shakespeare’s most famous sonnets, has its first line competitive with Shakespeare’s line "Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?” Sonnet 130, also created by Shakespeare, is a pleasure to read purely for its simplicity and bluntness of expression. It is also one of the few sonnets that show Shakespeare write humorously. Porphyria’s Lover, which was first published in 1836, is Robert Browning’s most shocking and dramatic monologues. The dramatic monologue is a fictional speech, which captures a moment right after a main event. As for When We Two Parted, a poem by Lord Byron, (George Gordon Byron) published in 1813, is a poem of a heart break, conveying strong feelings and emotion simplistically, but full of meaningful vocabulary.
