This document discusses and analyzes the themes in Shakespeare's Sonnet 116. The main themes are: 1) Love - The sonnet expresses that true love is not fleeting and does not change with time or circumstances. 2) Marriage - Love is compared to an ever-fixed mark that guides relationships through storms like marriage. 3) Loyalty - The sonnet states that love does not change with brief moments of time, but remains constant to the end. 4) Eternity of literature and writing - The concluding lines suggest that if the themes of love expressed are untrue, then the speaker has never written before nor has any man truly loved.

5. Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wand'ring bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me prov'd,
I never writ, nor no man ever lov'd.
