    1. rosemary and rue

      Rosemary and rue are often used as a symbol of remembering the dead. In Hamlet, Ophelia said "There's rosemary, that's for remembrance, pray you, love, remember" (IV.5.199-200). Rue is also the word for "bitter regret." According to Encyclopedia.com, the plant itself also represents grief and regret. What do you think Shakespeare is trying to accomplish with these symbols and what does he accomplish by juxtaposing them with the mention of winter? What is the winter in this story?

      They claim to control the wind. One has the thumb of a dude (Pilot) who died trying to get home. They can't get rid of the ship, but they can make the guy miserable.

    1. Th’ expense of spirit in a waste of shameIs lust in action; and, till action, lustIs perjured, murd’rous, bloody, full of blame,Savage, extreme, rude, cruel, not to trust;Enjoyed no sooner but despisèd straight;Past reason hunted, and no sooner had,Past reason hated as a swallowed baitOn purpose laid to make the taker mad.Mad in pursuit and in possession so;Had, having, and in quest to have, extreme;A bliss in proof and proved a very woe;Before, a joy proposed; behind, a dream.All this the world well knows, yet none knows wellTo shun the heaven that leads men to this hell.

      What role does this poem play in the overall message of the sonnets? While the earlier sonnets lust over the speaker's Love by constantly describing how wonderful and beautiful she is, this poem adopts a more distant stance and discusses the issue with lust. By countering the former narrative with the painful reality unchecked passions can place people in, this sonnet warns that acting upon impure passions may feel good in the moment, but will ultimately result in bitterness. The speaker never mentions himself in this poem, thus making it seem less personal than the other poems. The sudden change in description of his Love in poem 130 is really interesting when juxtaposed with this sonnet. How do you guys feel this poem and 130 interact?

    2. 130

      I absolutely adore this poem. Through each of the previous sonnets, the speaker praises his love interest comparing her to beautiful, glorious things. Picturesque comparisons such as "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate?" (Sonnet 18) paint his loved one as something flawless and magnificent. However, in Sonnet 130, he flips this impression on its head by indicating that she really is not as beautiful as the nature he has compared her with in the past. Nevertheless, despite the fact that his lady is full of flaws, he still loves her. This reversal of his unending praise doted upon her in the other poems counters the popular narrative of the day on feminine beauty. Because he praises her for her flaws instead of the great things about her, this poem seems to create a more honest proclamation of adoration than the other poems.
