William Shakespeare (1564-1616) wrote over 30 plays that are usually divided into histories, comedies, tragedies, and romances. His early plays were mainly comedies and histories, but in 1596 he wrote Romeo and Juliet, his second tragedy. Over the next dozen years he wrote many of his most famous tragedies including Julius Caesar, Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, Macbeth, and Antony and Cleopatra. Shakespeare used different forms of language - prose, rhymed verse, and blank verse - to achieve specific effects and match the tone and content of different scenes.
This sonnet describes moments after dreaming of being with one's beloved. When waking from these dreams, the speaker is filled with fascination as they remember the rare beauty of their beloved's eyes, mouth, and smile which once brought them wisdom and comfort. However, upon waking to the truth and turning from the tremendous lie of sleep, the speaker watches as the roses of the day grow deeper in color, a metaphor for moving further from the dream and closer to reality without their beloved.

This document provides an analysis of the poem "To His Coy Mistress" by Andrew Marvell.

The poem uses the metaphor of time to persuade his mistress to engage in a physical relationship, as it argues life is short so they shouldn't wait to express their desires. The document examines both the surface and deeper meanings in the poem.
The poem His Coy Mistress by Andrew Marvell is about a speaker trying to persuade his mistress to engage in a sexual relationship. In 3 sentences:
The speaker argues they should seize the day and make love now, before time runs out, rather than waiting for some hypothetical future with unlimited time. He uses vivid imagery of time's chariot hurrying near and her beauty turning to dust after death to convince her. The poem explores themes of carpe diem and the brevity of life through the speaker's passionate pleas to his coy mistress.
The document discusses psychoanalytic criticism and its application to Andrew Marvell's poem "To His Coy Mistress". It introduces concepts from Freudian psychoanalysis like the unconscious and the human psyche being divided into the ego, superego, and id. It analyzes how the first two stanzas depict the ideal circumstances of their relationship but reality is imposed in the second two stanzas. The third stanza represents the id triumphing over realistic concerns. Future research could explore the poet's own unconscious through symbols in the poem or applying Freudian concepts like displacement and condensation.
The document discusses Sir Philip Sidney's collection of poems "Astrophil and Stella" and how it both adheres to and departs from conventions of Petrarchan love. While some sonnets depict the themes of longing and frustration typical of Petrarchan poems, Astrophil's pursuit of the married Stella brings the morality of his actions into question. The document analyzes specific sonnets and songs that show how Sidney both incorporates typical Petrarchan devices but also subverts expectations by having Astrophil admire Stella's inner and outer beauty rather than using violent language of love. The document concludes Sidney aimed to inspire a more rational approach to love compared to the conventions established by Petrarch.

William Shakespeare's Sonnet 18 praises the youthful beauty and positive qualities of a young man. The speaker claims this person is more beautiful than a summer's day, which is imperfect due to strong winds, heat, and brevity.

As long as the poem continues to be read, the memory and excellence of the young man will live on.

Sonnet 29: When in Disgrace with Fortune and Men's Eyes
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,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,
Desiring this man's art, and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
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 remembered such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
By William Shakespeare
Sonnet 130 by William Shakespeare
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground.
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false .
