Shakespeare's Sonnet " Shall I compare thee to a summer's day".William Shakespeare's sonnet 18, also known as “Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer’s Day, uses a metaphor in its first line, describing his love towards an unknown person. He compares her to a summer's day which tend's to be anything but perfect, as you face extreme heat and summer doesn't last forever, it eventually ends and it becomes Autumn . But what he is trying to portray is that she is so much better than summer, She has an internal beauty that never fades, which is evidently shown in his enduring poetry. Shakespeare has written this to depict his love for her. |
