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…

A combination of this “threatened masculinity” and the also mentioned “anxiety of dispossession” is what causes, in my opinion, jealousy among the male characters. Heathcliff’s first sign of jealousy manifested when he feared losing Catherine to Edgar and he realized that he did not have any power over her.

At this scene in the novel, Henry has led Dorian out to the gardens surrounding Basil’s studio. While Basil perfects Dorian’s portrait inside, Henry describes the horrors of aging and the importance of savoring one’s youth.

Henry contrasts symbols of beauty,…

The beginning start with when they first met and talks about how when she was young she fell in love with a young man that had dark hair. The transition from when they first met to when they are growing old together is when the man’s hair is described as the color of snow. The last stanza talks about them going down a hill which, I think, is to symbolize their life together and ends with them going…

In "Sonnet 91" by William Shakespeare the poem raises the question of the value of love, which is answered through Shakespeare's play on words and the narrator's own preferences of his kind of love. This poem captivates the reader's interest and causes them to understand how love is different from wealth or possessions. William Shakespeare in "Sonnet 91" uses metaphors and tone variety to exemplify the vulnerability of love when it is placed first above all else in life. Shakespeare uses…
