    Shakespeare is directly rebuffing the standard definition of beauty at the time, which was reflected in Petrarchan love poetry. The ideal according to those poems was blond hair (like silk), blue eyes (that twinkle like celestial bodies), ivory skin (like alabaster), a voice like a songbird, etc. His lady is the opposite of all those qualities, yet she is beautiful and down to earth, and he loves her for that.

  • @onelitteacher3575
    @onelitteacher35752 жыл бұрын

    Shakespeare’s sonnets are English sonnets, written in a highly prescribed format, which reflects the love of artifice amongst the poets of this time. Structural variations are limited to subtle elements, such as where the volta occurs and how the poet employs punctuation. For information about the relationship between structure and meaning in sonnets, please see my video about sonnet background.

    Hi What and where is the volta(turn) in this sonnet?

  • @onelitteacher3575
    @onelitteacher35752 жыл бұрын

    The volta occurs at line 13 and is signaled by the word "But." This is where the tone shifts as the speaker focuses less on the grief of loss as he begins to remember the happy times he spent with his lost love/friend. This completes the cycle of grief until it begins afresh again at a later time.

  • @onelitteacher3575
    @onelitteacher35752 жыл бұрын

    Interesting question! In general I find the sonnet form aesthetically pleasing because it is so carefully and beautifully crafted. While Shakespeare’s Sonnet 30 does not contain much visual imagery, the way Shakespeare simulates the grief cycle and makes readers feel powerful emotions along with him is aesthetically pleasing. The most beautiful aspect of the poem in terms its imagery is the powerful way Shakespeare creates sound imagery and connects that imagery so closely with emotions. And, while the poem mainly evokes painful emotions, the fact that it resolves on a positive and comforting note, is also pleasing.
