We could pretend, but I don't need to pretend.

She is a dream fairy and Mercutio warns about such. This is before the party, where he speaks to many lusty gentlemen, preparing them for this night, making Mercutio the greatest hypeman of the 16th Century.

These two characters are arguing about their master and men fight. Their arguing builds intense right away in the play.

The poem turns from talking about what he cant foresee but when he can in her eyes, to telling her the truth that her truth and beauty will die with her if she doesn't pass it on.

shortage/ lack of something

to predict

If not, I predict that your beauty and truth will end when you die.

when he looks into her eyes he sees a future and beauty and purity in her eyes. But her beauty and truth must be passed on.

I think he is saying that he can't predict the future or anything but what he does know is...

Only an irresponsible person would let a beautiful house fall apart.

A responsible person could easily care for the house through disasters and death.

Again, Shakespeare is saying that her life will be carried on by her children.

After she dies her children will carry on her life. Her life will remain because her children are alive.

Her identity will only be with her while she is alive. When she dies her identity is gone.

Here is an occurrence of the Volta used in the poem. The poet had first begun explaining how the his affection towards the lady he loves were all from the "good" qualities she has. "O, from what power hast thou this powerful might With insufficiency my heart to sway?" All of a sudden the poet explains how the things that people despise in her (unworthiness) makes him love her. "If thy unworthiness raised love in me, More worthy I to be beloved of thee."

O, from what power hast thou this powerful "might" (A) With insufficiency my heart to "sway"? (B) To make me give the lie to my true "sight", (A) And swear that brightness doth not grace the "day"? (B) Whence hast thou this becoming of things "ill", (C) That in the very refuse of thy "deeds" (D) There is such strength and warrantize of "skill" (C) That, in my mind, thy worst all best "exceeds"? (D) Who taught thee how to make me love thee "more" (E) The more I hear and see just cause of "hate"? (F) O, though I love what others do "abhor", (E) With others thou shouldst not abhor my "state": (F) If thy unworthiness raised love in "me", (G) More worthy I to be beloved of "thee". (G)

Rhythmic Scheme: ababcdcdefefgg

Iambic Pentameter: Line 3: to MAKE, me GIVE, the LIE, to MY, true SIGHT Line 9: who taught THEE, how to make ME, love THEE, more. The rhyme used by the poet helps emphasize the tone the poet is trying to bring out towards the audience. Showing his affection toward the lady he loves.

To guarantee; covenant

This turn means that his bad spirit actually does defeat his good spirit and he cannot change that. The poem led you to believe that maybe his good spirit could out-fight the bad one and then the turn comes and you realize that is not true.

Tempteth is an archaic third-person singular if tempt.

Woo means to seek the favor, support, or custom of.

Close reading: Shakespeare uses imagery mainly in this line by saying "murderous hate"

In someone else or you

you don't hesitate

lacking/no foresight

This is the volta because the beginning of the sonnet is of him saying that she is awful, but here he says that maybe she can have a child that has beauty.

i don't understand what this means what deos he mean by odd volume

he is correct. many people see things in a different way because of the way he wrote and many people saw things and took his poems in different directions

woah.

what a show

If Shakespeare meant this as him only seeing this girl during his dreams, what does this imply about his daily life? Is this a crush, or something like being a stalker? If he is only seeing her as he walks by, and then dreams about her during the night, it seems like the things he feels for her are taboo. Maybe this poem is talking about how he feels for someone not his age and can only see her in his dreams.

I see this as Shakespeare saying that even to the bad side of you, you are still so pure and innocent. To a blackened, sick soul, she is a ray of sunshine that will not be covered by a rain cloud.

The unstressed words are: but, I, in, they, on. The stressed words are: when, sleep, dreams, look, thee. This creates the visual of him just becoming asleep and seeing her. It focuses on the words that make the sentence strong.

The stressed words: most,wink,do,eyes,best. The unstressed words are: when, I, then, mine, see. This creates the effect of smoothness, and adds the feeling that he is talking about sleep.

This is the Volta and it turns the poem into something not about himself. In the first part, the poem is saying that he has no respect for the things he sees during the day. He does not care about what goes on around him. Therefore, he loves sleep, and so he loves the nights. The second portion (after the turn/Volta) is about how beautiful the person he talking about. He says that "When to unseeing eyes thy shade shines so!"; which basically means that even in the dark, she lights up his world. At the end of the poem he says that days are now his nights and nights are his days where he can dream about her.

Opinion: This line makes no sense at all.

Question: What does he mean by "do deeds of youth"?

i dont get why he was talking so poorly about the person but then turns and says how great they are

he wrote in a unique way that made his poems his own. many people enjoy these poems because of it

iambic pentameter a non , per mit, the, bas est, clouds, to, ride with, ug,ly rack, on, his, cel,est,ial face and, from, the, for, lorn, world, his, vis,age, hide

the volta occurs in the couplet. he goes from talking about dark clouds to to the sun. interpretation: " the clouds have hidden him from me now. But i don't fault him for this at all. Golden men like him can disgrace themselves as much as the real sun does."

the rhyme scheme is seen (A), eye (B), green (A), Alchemy (B), ride (c), face (D), Hide (c), disgrace (D), shine (e), brow (f), mine (e), now (f), disdaineth (g), staineth (g)

I think this line says that the narrator begins to think about someone else and starts being happy about himself since they have that person in their life.

I think that this line says that the narrator wants other's people features that he doesn't have.

The poem starts off with the narrator saying that he hates himself and how he's an outcast. After the turn, the narrator says that he feels so wealthy when he thinks about his love interest that he wouldn't trade places with a king.

Sullen means gloomy or depressing.

Lark is a type of songbird

Unstressed:And, up-, my-, and, my. Stressed: look, -on,-self, curse, fate

This shows that that the person being talked about misuses the gifts nature has given the person.

I don' understand what he means in these couple of lines.

I don't understand what he means.

I didnt understand this word.

My-bonds, In-thee, Are-all, Deter-minate.

This is the volta where Shakespeare is saying that he's so sick, love sick, and wishes for a cure but there isn't one.

Stressed: Dateless, heat, endure Not stressed: A, lively, still, to

Stressed: Love, fire, steep Not stressed: And, His, kindling, did, quickly

Stressed: laid, brand, asleep not stressed: Cupid, by his, and, fell

I found this interesting, because he makes it seem as death. You can not choose death, and you can not choose to have time take things away.

I found it interesting how he kind of repeated the same phrase, but just switched the order of words.

In the first part of this sonnet they are talking about the unavoidable power of time to take things most precious to us away from us. Then they have the "ruin" followed by "ruminate" which shows how everything affects everybody.

unstressed: and, the, of, I, such stressed: for, peace, you, hold, strife shakespeare stresses the words for, peace, you, hold and strife because they have a different meaning than the unstressed words that are used as a transition.

This line starts the volta where he starts to think about someone close to him and imagines a image of that person.

Zealous - To have great energy or enthusiasm

As far as the rhythm : the patterns of accents heard in regularly recurring measures of stressed and unstressed beats at the frequency of the music's pulse. ( like singing sort of ). he builds up these musical dynamics to the grim conclusion.

He knows what he did was insanely wrong, but he feels better knowing that the other person was wrong first. < me too shakespeare

From the sonnet I identified the rhyme scheme form in this sonnet as : abab cdcd efef gg

what goes around comes around..

un : unstressed less : stressed

were : unstressed brass : stressed

It's beneficial that the friend was mean to him before. But he did the same exact thing back. Now he feels guilty because he never apologized. He now believes that they are even. True love because: He was hurt. He did it back to his friend. More of a friendship type of relationship.

Basically, Shakespeare is saying that both parties have suffered. The pain that he caused on the other person, is eased because of what they did to him. They are sharing the pain. Thematic Statement, you ask? : Sometimes, when you hurt someone, it will become a double-edged sword and hurt you back.

There is a definite rhyme scheme. It's a very modern perspective. ("You got what you deserved" or Now we're even")

EXTREME VOLTA, ha.

this sonnet i am pretty sure highlights an event most of us through coming of age have been experienced to, I know I have went through such event. this seems like a sonnet for the youth to be addressed.

a victim of betrayal this one is

Rhymes: A group

1. O truant Muse, what shall be thy amends
2. Both truth and beauty on my love depends;

B group

1. For thy neglect of truth in beauty dyed?
2. So dost thou too, and therein dignified.

C group

1. Make answer, Muse: wilt thou not haply say
2. Beauty no pencil, beauty's truth to lay;

D group

1. 'Truth needs no colour, with his colour fix'd;
2. But best is best, if never intermix'd?'

E group

1. Because he needs no praise, wilt thou be dumb?
2. To make him much outlive a gilded tomb,

F group

1. Excuse not silence so; for't lies in thee
2. And to be praised of ages yet to be.

Iambic pentameter: In line 3, the stressed words are: truth, beauty, love, depends. In line 6, the stressed words are: needs, colour(x2),. In line 11, the stressed words are: make, much, outlive, and gilded.

Sonnet Analysis: In the sonnet Shakespeare writes of how the Muse is not better than him and how better and best should not be intermixed, and at the end of the poem, in a cocky fashion, he writes that he is willing to teach her his ways.

The significance of this volta is that shakespeare says that your youth and beauty is cut down by time and as time goes by you age and your appearance isn't what it used to be.

This connects with this sonnet because this person really loved this person but they had to let them go. I think this relates because Shakespeare was in love, but they were slowly growing apart.

I think Shakespeare shouldn't have been with his love if he had doubts of whether or not she loved him. he thought she was cheating but he still was with her.

I did not understand what tenor meant, and why Shakespeare used thy.

thy: my tenor: the highest of the ordinary adult male range (singing)

This creates an iambic rhythm. The rhythm is kind of like counting out the syllables. The stressed words were doth, love, true, rest, and defeat. These were stressed because they needed to be sounded out clearly. They were making the beat. the unstressed words were mine, own, that, and my. These were unstressed because they mostly all had one syllable, so they did not create a rhythm .

The poem has a rhythm scheme pattern of abab,cdcd, efef, gg. For example The first and third line both end with "ly." And The second and fourth line end with "oy." creating that abab pattern. At the end of the sonnet the Volta, the two line both end with "ne." This creates the gg rhythm.

I really don't quite understand this. What's meaning to this? Are they comparing a chord of strings to a family and a single note to a single person. Does this mean that having a family is better than being by yourself. Or that you'll never be fully happy until you've settle down? Are all mothers really happy?

These two lines really prove a point, if there's music to hear why hear sad music. If you hear happy music then you'll be in a good mood, but if you hear sad then you will be in an upset mood. This has a bigger meaning than just in music, but in life. If you're upset then fix it, if someone is hurting you then do something about it. Get that person out of your life. If you dreamt of doing something then go do it. At the end of the day you shouldn't live pleasing everybody else, make sure that your content with what you're doing.

Confounds: destroy, overthrow, ruin

The vowel "a" is a stressed syllable which creates an effective uses of iambic pentameter.

Unstressed-for, shame,that,love,to,who,for,art,so

Stressed-Deny,thou,Bear'st,any,thyself, unprovident

New Vocabulary: Bear'st-admit unprovident-unwilling, beauteous-beautiful, wilt-marchitar

These last two lines are the turn around or the volta. The lines before the volta talk about how if "you" have shame, then you should admit you don't have love for anyone if you can't love yourself. Its obvious "you" don't love anyone. The sonnet is the basically talking about someone who hates their self. Always putting themselves down. The last two lines talk about the person should have a children for the love for someone and that the their beauty will live on through their children

In my opinion this person must be pretty cool if even their roachy foes are commending them.

"parts...thee...world's...view" are all stressed for emphasis on the importance of the words.

Flower and weeds are stressed here for the effect of comparison

The iambic pentameter is easily identified here stressing on the words "that, guess, measure, and deeds"

Volta: The physical beauty is easy to admire, but inner beauty is hard to find within this person.

First syllable and two syllable words are stressed and others are unstressed.

Definition: attractive

Volta: The poet is talking about how a man stole his mistress from him and he talks about the things the man stole about his mistress.

Volta: But by the end of the poem he talks about how the man didn't steal her bueaty from her.

Rhyme Scheme: see G thee G

fore-bemoaned is to have complained/expressed grief over something in the past.

The iambic pentameter is each of the lines I explained creates a smooth and effective rhythm in the poem.

Like the previous one, odd syllables are unstressed, and even ones are stressed. The is unstressed, sad is stressed, a is unstressed, ccount is stressed, etc.

Odd syllables are unstressed, and even ones are stressed. For, which is the first syllable, is unstressed, pre is stressed, cious is unstressed, etc.

Wantonness means showing no thought or care for the rights, feelings, or safety of others.

Some examples of effective uses of iambic pentameter are: Some say| thy youth| some waton|ness and with the first word stressed and the second word unstressed, making a rhythm in which to read the sonnet. Other examples are To truths| translated|and for| true things| deem'd. Both examples make a rhythm but at the end the rhythm ends a sharp stressed word to end the pattern.

This is repetition because he keeps repeating that the distance can be condensed through thoughts.

This line is necessary in order for the reader to see how much Shakespeare wants to get home to his love.

What Shakespeare is trying to say here, that this person's bad ways have charmed the world, in a deceiving way.

This is another example of an iambic pentameter, "Die" is unstressed, "sin-" is stressed, "-gle" is unstressed, "and" is stressed, "thine" is unstressed, "im-" is stressed, "-age" is unstressed, "dies" is stressed, " with" is unstressed, "thee" is stressed.

Even though he is in love, he will not say mushy gushy stuff, he will just speak the truth instead of sugar coating things.

Sphere

In the sonnet, the poet is speaking of another who over-exaggerates. Here, he is basically saying "I give up, let him do him, but I speak the truth only." This is the volta because at first, he was hostile and insulting the other poet, but now, he lets him be because he knows that in his heart he is better.

Some rhyming seems very very forced and artificial to the point where things make no sense.

Rhymes with use in third line, creates great flow and rhythm in sonnet

Sounds awkward with stressed and unstressed syllables.

Flows well with iambic pentameter

Nice use of iambic pentameter, sounds well with nice flow

Shakespeare also says that "you" shall shine more bright in his sonnet than on a filthy ugly statue

I find it interesting that Shakespeare says that statues and other big monuments and other architecture will not outlive his work.

This is where the volta happens, the poem shifts from thoughts of war and decay and instead talk about someone moving beyond all of the war and deay

I don't understand why people think that the sun looks its best when it is highest in the sky. Same with people. Not everyone is at their best when they are young adults. Some people might be prettier or handsome when they are older.

Personification: saying that the 'gracious light' can lift up its head is giving the sun the qualities of a person. The sun does not have a head and can not lift it up.

I don't agree with the fact that people must have families before they start to get older and weaker. Just because you are better when you are younger does not mean that you cant do anything when you get older.

VOLTA: As a person reads this poem, they would think that it is about the sun as it makes its journey through the day. The sun looks like a strong young man when it is at its highest point in the sky. And as it falls back towards the ground, the sun is more like an old man who has aged and gotten weaker. But these last two lines changes the whole thing. At the end it is saying that a person has "settle down" and have a family when they are at their highest point in the sky, which is noon. If they don't then they loose there chance at having kids because everything goes down hill after someone reaches their high pint.

Unstressed: Un of unlook'd, on, est from diest, less from unless, get, and son. Stressed: look'd of unlook'd, di from diest, un from unless, thou, and a. This line was 11 syllables but i think Shakespeare didn't count the a so that he could get all of the words he wanted into the line.

Archaic third person singular present of do.

The line "the world's fresh ornament" is a phrase meaning beauty. Shakespeare explains that this "art" is the world's fresh ornament, or the world's beauty and flawlessness.

"thou THAT art NOW the WORLD'S fresh ORnaMENT"

This line contains a good use of iambic pentameter as the words,"but AS the RIper SHOULD by TIME deCEASE"

"Heir" most likely translates to "hair" as the line talks about "tender heir".
