Hello dear community,
I wanted to ask you if you could correct my English text and if the sentence is generally incorrect, rewrite it? I tried to write in easy English because my teacher also rates it better than complicated English. I would be really happy if you could help me! 🙂
Hi Leah,
I came across your blog post about your opinion about Shakespeare‘s poems. You claim that they are all boring and have strange illusions. Well, I really don’t agree with you, but I want to introduce you one of my favourite poems by William Shakespear “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?”
Let me summarize this masterpiece for you: The Sonnet starts with a flattering question “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?”. William Shakespeare explains that his love is as beautiful as the most beautiful things in the world, such as a summer’s day. In the next line, he rejects this idea immediately. He says that the beauty of summer is fleeting and that it will eventually be replaced by the harshness of winter. However, the speaker also claims that the person’s beauty will be immortalized in the poem, since her beauty will supposedly never fade or die. This special thing about her is what gives her life and it’s a tribute to how couples see their partner as the only one for them.
In my opinion, it is a poem of admiration and adoration, almost certainly the best known piece of Shakespeare’s work. The simplicity and loveliness of this poem is outstanding and one of the main reasons for the poem’s success. The major themes in Sonnet 18 are the timelessness, nature, love, beauty and the death and immortality. I think the main theme is timeless and I specifically like it because it is a deeper theme of immortalization. Lack of time is a theme that has and will affect humans forever and therefore the wish for eternity reflects a universal experience.
Let me know what you think now about this poem. Don’t worry, I am not mad if you still defend your opinion but let me know if you have changed your mind! 🙂
