SONNET 29
Background


154 sonnets in all

    Can be compare to
       today’s society

                     About Shakespeare’s Career?
When, in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes,

I all alone beweep my outcast state
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries

And look upon myself and curse my fate




                             Can you relate?
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,

Featured like him, like him with friends possess’d




 Need A
Reason To
 Go On
Desiring this man’s art and that man’s scope,

With what I most enjoy contented least;




                             Childhood
                             memory’s
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,

Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising

From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven’s gate;
For thy sweet love remember’d such wealth brings

That then I scorn to change my state with kings.




                             Love
                               > money

Editor's Notes

  1. There are 154 sonnets in all. Many people believe that Shakespeare wrote all of the sonnets and that this one (sonnet 29) is a reflation of his career. It talks about not being popular society anymore and not having money. Which most people think to be talking about him after his play writing career ended. Sonnet 29 shows the poet at his most insecure and troubled. He feels unlucky, shamed, and fiercely jealous of those around him. What causes the poet's anguish will remain a mystery; as will the answer to whether the sonnets are autobiographical.Copyright: Amanda Mabillardhttp://www.shakespeare-online.com/sonnets/29detail.html
  2. When I’ve fallen out of favor with fortune and men.All alone I weep over my position as a social outcastThe reader starts of upset because they not as high up in society as they want to be. They also believe that reason for that is because don’t have much money. This can relate a lot to todays society because even today there is a common belief that to be popular you have to have money to buy things. Copyright: The Fiscal Times http://www.thefiscaltimes.com/Articles/2011/07/26/Rich-Baby-Poor-Baby-Why-Overspending-on-Kids-Is-a-Waste.aspx#page1
  3. And pray to heaven, but my cries go unheardAnd I look at myself, cursing my fateThe reader is still upset with there fate wishing that they had a better life. Praying that things would get better but there going unheard. So upset with them themselves that their cursing their fate. Copyright: WordPress.com. http://chosenvessel26.wordpress.com/2011/07/26/why-me-lord/
  4. Wishing I were like one who had more hope,Wishing I looked like him; wishing I were surrounded by friendsThey fill lost and all alone . They don’t have any hope in themselves there just wishing they had friends and looked like someone else. A common thing for people when they get depressed. They start comparing themselves to other people and only see them as better than themselves. Copyright: Condé Nast Digitalhttp://www.jaunted.com/story/2009/1/23/71538/9563/travel/Cell+Phone+Saves+Desert-Wandering+Romanian
  5. Wishing I had this man’s skill and that man’s freedomI am least contented with what I used to enjoy mostThey begin to compare themselves to other people wondering why they could not be more like that other person. They no long find joy in the things that they used to enjoy a lot when they were younger. Copyright: University of California Merced Center of Excellence for the Study of Health Disparities in Rural and Ethnic Underserved Populations.http://coehealth.ucmerced.edu/news/index.html
  6. But with these thoughts-almost despising myselfI, by chance, think of you and then my melancholyThey had hit rock bottom. They are so upset with the state of things that there thoughts are making them depressed. They start to think about someone. Just when you think they are down as low as they can get…Copyright: Recover-from-grief.com
  7. (add sound effect to this slide)Like the lark at the break of day, risesFrom the dark earth and I sing hymns to heaven They start sing to the heaven’s? Now that sonnet starts to take a change from being despising to become more happier and having hope. This is a common thing about all the sonnets is that there is a change in like the mood at some point during the sonnet. The read starts talking like the darkest part is over and it’s about to be brighter.Copyright: egeezerhttp://www.egeezer.net/tag/heaven/
  8. For thinking of your love brings such happinessThat then I would not change my position in life with kingsThe reader thinks about love and then they no longer care about not having money or being popular. So while money helps you get thing and may make people look you to you it is not more important then love.
