    Sonnets From The Portuguese And The Great Gatsby

    However, as the sonnets progress, Elizabeth discovers Robert’s love allowing insight that “Not Death, but Love”, an oxymoron can change the way allowing for a “silver” lining to appear. Furthermore, in the sonnets, Browning transfers her focus on the social stereotypes and gender roles of the Victorian Era. Men were designated as money makers and women were dependent on men for the means of living. Browning’s educated broke the stereotypical view of women going against a Victorian society where women were only seen as prizes to be won and owned. She doesn't believe in materialistic love claiming in sonnet 14 love should only be expressed “for love’s sake only”, not “for her look”, criticising the perception of materialistic and shallow love In Victorian society.…

    Lady Mary Wroth Sonnet 9 Analysis

    Lady Mary Wroth, “Sonnet 9” explores the profound impact of the patriarchal and religious control over people, specifically women’s personal lives and desires in Elizabethan England. It highlighted gender inequality in love and marriage, as social pressures were on women to confirm to the existing patriarchal model of society. The speaker used the words pleasure in “Bee you all pleas’d, your pleasure grieve not me” to highlight the wealth and power that the patriarchal and religious system benefited from marriage. Thus, the marriage was designed to benefit others besides the woman, and the words “Doe you delight?…

    Edna St. Vincent Millay's 'Love Is Not All'

    Essay One: “Love is Not All” by Edna St. Vincent Millay “Love is Not All” by Edna St. Vincent Millay is a sonnet that is not written within the expectations of a classic sonnet in regards to its content, but is structured like a traditional sonnet. Specifically, this poem does not portray love in a way that most sonnets would. Its content contrasts a traditional sonnet as it discusses all that love is not and the reality of the internal struggles humans face regarding love. Most sonnets from the twentieth century emphasize love's majesty, but “Love is Not All” challenges the romantic ideals of love through the speaker’s personal questioning of the nature of love.…

    Sonnet 73

    Humans have interesting ways of dictating what is the best way to carry out decisions in various circumstances of life. Some ambitions root from selflessness, while some people think about how something can benefit themselves only. In Shakespeare's "Sonnet 73," similar ideas are present in metaphorical expressions that revolve around being consumed by what defines someone. The image of the tree being "Consum'd with that which it was nourish'd by" can symbolize the mental conflicts that impress certain behaviors, whether they are favorable or harmful (line 8). In Serena, Ron Rash constructs a complex scenario involving characters who wrestle with the same ideas found in "Sonnet 73;" consumed with a mentality that eventually leads to mental or…

    Love Is Not All By Edna St. Vincent Millay

    “Love is Not All” is a sonnet written by Edna St. Vincent Millay regarding a personal message directing the question of value and intensity of genuine love. This fourteen-line sonnet exploits both Shakespearean and Petrarchan sonnet designs. In most Shakespearean sonnets, the turn takes place between the twelfth and thirteenth lines, but the turn in “Love is Not All” does not. Millay’s poem shows a turn after the octave (happens in Petrarchan sonnets), making it a split into two cases or topics. The first eight lines, or octave, introduces that love is not all it is sought out to be, whereas the last six lines, or the sestet, shows a new thought and the speaker’s feelings regarding love.…

    Sonnet 23 Vs Shakespeare

    Love can be a fleeting feeling, but it can still prove to be the center idea of many works. For example, sonnets are usually filled with excessive metaphors and an idealistic viewpoint of a specific individual that the writer has fallen in love with. However, both "Sonnet 130" by William Shakespeare and "Sonnet 23" by Louise Labé utilize the format to bring a different perspective. Shakespeare's sonnet is more humorous, while Labé's takes on a more serious approach to showcase the injustice the speaker faces.…

    'Symptoms Of Love In Robert Graves Meeting At Night'

    Love can be a complex thing to understand; it can take any perspective. The writers use imagery and tone to interpret the type of love they’re feeling. The poems can use descriptive imagery and have fast rhythm to express the excitement of love, as in “Meeting at night.” Or the meaning can be more profound and have a satirical tone to express bitterness towards love, like in “Symptoms of Love.” Love can even be interpreted differently depending on gender.…

    My Last Duchess Relationship Analysis

    Robert Browning’s poetry shows the power imbalances in male and female relationships and often takes the form of dramatic monologue to show the differences between men’s motivations and women’s. In Browning’s ‘My Last Duchess’, an authoritative and rich Duke is made to feel powerless as a result of his wife’s misplaced affections. The favourable qualities of his wife, such as her kindness and gratitude, are interpreted by the duke as offences, “as if she ranked my gift of a nine-hundred-years-old name with anybody’s gift”, implying possessiveness and unruly emotions such as jealousy can cloud judgement. This is interesting as generally a man would be thought of as being more rational, and a woman as being ruled by her emotions.…
