  1. Theme: • Eternal beauty Sonnet 18 Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate:Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,And summer's lease hath all too short a date: Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,And often is his gold complexion dimm'd; And every fair from fair sometime declines,By chance or nature's course untrimm'd;But thy eternal summer shall not fadeNor lose possession of that fair thou owest;Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,When in eternal lines to time thou growest: So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,So long lives this and this gives life to thee. Shakespearean

  2. Literary elements: • Uses descriptions of nature, and the power and images that they imply. • -He compares them to young girl/boy’s youth and beauty. • Why he chose the sonnet he chose the sonnet to explain all the beuty in the world would never compare to this persons looks

  3. Volta: • -It switches in the last two lines “Couplets” • -Shakespeare switches his opinion and points out that there is no beauty that compares to his /hers. Rhyme scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG

  4. Sonnet 20 Shakespearean A woman's face with Nature's own hand painted Hast thou, the master-mistress of my passion; A woman's gentle heart, but not acquainted With shifting change, as is false women's fashion;An eye more bright than theirs, less false in rolling,Gilding the object whereupon it gazeth; A man in hue, all 'hues' in his controlling,Much steals men's eyes and women's souls amazeth.And for a woman wert thou first created; Till Nature, as she wrought thee, fell a-doting,And by addition me of thee defeated, By adding one thing to my purpose nothing.But since she prick'd thee out for women's pleasure,Mine be thy love and thy love's use their treasure. Theme: Natures mistake with the man.

  5. Literary elements • -describes the man as female with male features. • justifying his own attraction to the man • He also may be using allegory -He wanted to explain the mans features and point out his flaw in him -Shakespeare reason for this sonnet maybe because this is exactly how he felt, that nature made a mistake with him • Why he chose the sonnet

  6. Volta -The Volta is in line 10 -After explaining all of the man is better than any human he stops to talk about one of his flaws Rhyme scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG
