again another(and I am sure still more)majestic poetic deconstruction of another simply Primal sonnet by our dear Bard...Thanks.

fantastic explanation..... really loved it....

This is the best analysis of this poem that I have found on You Tube. I just want to add one more thing to this. There are 154 Sonnets published under the name of Shakespeare. They fall into three groups. The first 17 poems are to a young man, telling him that it is really time that he got married and started a family. This seems like a fairly normal concern, particularly if the young man was the eldest son of a noble house, whose family needed an Heir to inherit estate, wealth and title. But.... Shakespeare is not focussed on these concerns, but on the preservation of the young person's physical beauty, which will fade, and only be sustained in the beauty of his children. Sonnet 18 is all about the person's beauty.... with no further reference to reproduction. It is also one of several which refer, like 116, to the Poet himself as the writer. There follows a series of passionate love poems to a young man ... and we have no way of knowing whether it is the same beautiful young man as that of the first group, or a different man entirely.. We only know that it is indeed a man and that the Poet is totally obsessed!. Is the love ever physically consummated? We are not told. ("a marriage of true minds") Does the lover remain "true"? Most definitely not! Sonnet 116 comes towards the end of the cycle of the poems to the young man, and before the Poet becomes fascinated, and seduced by the mysterious "Dark Lady" .... Oh Dear! ... it doesn't quite end there. The Poet finishes with two poems that suggest that in the heat of love, (and under the influence of Cupid) he really could not help himself at all! The point that I want to make here is with reference to the lines ....... I never writ, nor no man ever loved." This can indeed be interpreted as "I never wrote anything, or any man ever loved anybody." but it might equally well be interpreted as " I never wrote anything, and I have never loved a man (such as I love you)"

After watching so many videos on this sonnet I have to say I think your one makes the most sense and deciphers meaning most accurately. So thank you, great job!

I follow your literary analysis videos and I must say, you have helped me so much with my college composition classes! Thank you for taking the time to help others understand. You're amazing! :)

Nice and easy to understand.. Great explanation. Love constancy

Professor, you are absolutely wonderful. Thank you. Now I better understand Maryann's heart on Sense and sensibility. You have explained it perfectly well.

Thank you. Very ethically and credibly done! I enjoy your insight

Yes, thank you, your explanation really help me understand this sonnet, I am new to Shakespeare !!!

Thanks so much for your great exploration! I enjoy learning the Sonnets by heart to recite aloud. You gave me all sorts of great ideas here to shape my intonations and inflections for a live performance. Your explanation of this Sonnet's rhyming couplet unexpectedly brought to mind Sonnet 18, in which the craft of writing also plays a major part in how the "speaker" approaches love. Although in plain view, I wouldn't have made that connection, save for your video. So again, many thanks!

You're a life saver, Thank you.

Thank you so much Rebecca. Ned

Your voice and persona is so calm and therapeutic. Fantastic teaching. Thank you.

THANK YOU MISS REBECA

THAT WAS VERY NICE AND CONVINCING TO LEARN MORE ABOUT WILLIAM SHAKSPEAR

I enjoy watching news videos because it helps me to see that my understanding of poems in reading works are right on track and it also gives me an understanding on a deeper level of that which is different from my original opinion. I appreciate you taking the time to make these videos and help me and others out with an understanding and deeper understanding of these written works.
