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.
‘To His Coy Mistress’ is a comedic depiction of unrequited love, showing how love can be represented in a light-hearted way whilst communicating the deeper significance of what it means to feel this way about someone. Likewise, ‘Sonnet 43’ presents us with a serious topic, portrayed in a carefree way. ‘To His Coy Mistress’ is set into three stanzas of unequal length, each showing a new stage in the relationship. The beginnings of each stanza are a giveaway as to what we should expect from it. ‘Had we’ tells us that the persona is fantasising about what could happen, and that the images created here have in fact not happened yet.
After a couple months of marriage, Janie goes to visit her grandmother and her grandmother questions why she is there. Janie answers, “Cause you told me Ah mus gointer love him, and, and Ah don’t. Maybe if somebody was to tell me how, Ah could do it.” Janie initially thinks that love could be formed by someone else but she then discovers that she wants something more from a marriage. Though she was young and naïve to think that love comes after marriage, she was right to believe in her views that you need an emotional and physical connection to have true love and a successful marriage. She is searching for a relationship that offers both of these qualities.
Manette to talk about his first years in the prison was when Lucie and him were sitting underneath the plane-tree and were talking about if she should be happy that she is getting married or sad because she will not be able to enjoy the amount of time she spends now with her father. Dr. Manette then reassures her and tells her that everything will be okay, “ I have felt that your life should not be wasted---” (189) he is saying that he does not want her life to be in ruins as his was in the Bastille. He then goes on to say that “the dark part of my life would have cast its shadow beyond myself, and would have fallen on you’ (190). Dr. Manette is saying that 105 North Tower would have made her have evil seeds inside of her if she would have not met Charles Darnay. He feels that now she is old enough to know the truth on why he becomes 105 North Tower.
Homer uses many themes by not telling us what they are, but by showing us and leaving us in suspense. Love is one of the most important and influential themes in the book. Often times in life we search for a companion, someone to share our love and life with. Odysseus and Penelope’s lasting relationship is an obvious representation of love in The Odyssey. Although Odysseus is gone for twenty years he never forgets his faithful wife back home in Ithaca.
Tom said he loved Daisy, but “his sturdy physical egotism no longer nourished his peremptory heart.”(20). Fear would be the only thing left to guide the lost love the Buchanan's once held. Love, Status, Family, and Wealth were all important to Daisy. However, she knew that Gatsby's feeling would always be in “a constant, turbulent riot”(99) just like hers had always been. The night after Myrtle's death, Daisy knew that she would have to give up love to find what she thought was most important.
Just like Nancy’s promotion of the pink ribbon, the fire shows hope every time it is looked upon or lit up. Every time it is out, hope vanishes and the boys are discouraged to find survival The symbols portrayed from two completely different stories, show how the characters from the novel were effected and how the people of society were effected because of Nancy Brinker. She proved to the world that one person CAN make a difference, and that when you want something, you work for it. Because of Nancy’s work we are coming closer and closer to curing breast cancer forever, and saving millions of lives for the women of the
The path’s obstacles and the way old Phoenix copes with them symbolize Phoenix’s love for her grandson. Despite Phoenix’s old age, she was ready to do anything to help him. She expresses her intention to get drugs for grandson, saying, “I bound to go town…The time come around”, in the dialogue with a white man (869). Moreover, as the nurse said, “She doesn’t come for herself – she has a little grandson. She makes these trips as regular as clockwork” (870).
Moreover, the verb ‘find’ has connotations that they have stumbled upon a very valuable treasure by luck. It suggests that they are desperate for even an hour together, which implies their urgency of making the most of time being with each other and loving each other. Carol Ann Duffy uses nouns and verbs to emphasise how important it is to make most of time while they still have each other and their love. It portrays the fact that they should use time wisely as it will run out. Andrew Marvel uses methods to portray the fact that lovers should make most of what time they have in ‘His Coy Mistress’; “An hundred years should go to praise, thine eyes, and on thy forehead gaze...For, Lady, you deserve this state, Nor would I love at lower rate”.
“When I get older losing my hair / Many years from now” (McCartney/Lennon, Line 1-2) This line doesn’t talk about wrinkling skin, but how people lose hair when they get older. Another similarity in these pieces is the discussion of children. Both poems talk about how kids affect old age. Shakespeare’s sonnet, Shakespeare says that having a kid can keep your legacy going. “This fair child of mine / Shall sum my count and make my old excuse,” (Shakespeare, Line 10-11).
