Idea Of Love Kind Of Love
1,384 wordsDaniel wrote a conventional love sonnet using the traditional Petrarchan style of putting the idea of love, or the mistress, on a pedestal. Shakespeare turned these ideas on their heads by portraying a mistress who was by no means special and most certainly unappealing. In comparing Daniels Sonnet 6 and Shakespeare's Sonnet 130, I have come to the conclusion that Daniel s and Shakespeare's ideas of the perfect lady and of true life on the most part differed. During Daniels time there was a tradi...

19 Th Century Age Of Innocence
3,243 wordsEdith Wharton's books are considered, by some, merely popular fiction of her time. But we must be careful not to equate popularity with the value of the fiction; i. e. , we must not assume that if her books are popular, they are also primitive. Compared to the works of her contemporary and friend, Henry James, whose books may seem complex and sometimes bewildering; Wharton's The Age of Innocence appears to be a simplistic, gossipy commentary of New York society during the last decade of the 19 t...

Mistress Eyes Real Person
476 wordsIn William Shakespeare's sonnet My Mistress Eyes Are Nothing Like The Sun the speaker uses a twisted version of the blazon technique, which lists and describes every body part of the mistress. The speaker expresses the idea that his mistress is not physically beautiful, and she has flaws, but he loves her anyway. I believe that the speaker expresses this idea in order to say that beauty is only skin deep, and there is more to a person than meets the eye. The beginning of the poem is misleading. ...
