Comparing William Blake and William Wordsworth

praise 18 In Sonnet 18, William Shakespeare begins by considering what metaphorical comparisons would best reflect the unsalted homophile, in event a typical convention of Renaissance poems is to discriminate steady and youth with aspects of nature. In the first and in the second stanza he develops the conceit of summer in the first stanza (the introductory part) he wants to compare the young man to a summer daytime, but he as well says that the man is more than attractive and more lovely than a summer day in fact, he knows, summer loafer be very diddle and the weather is changeable well-nightimes its too hot and sometimes the sun has disappeared, but he cant be obscured.Then the poet adds that it is also true that, like a real summer, the young mans youth will not last forever, because it is how nature goes (its temporary). The tercet stanza starts with an adversative, here the poet concentrates in the mans witness and he says that his truelove wont disappear not ev en death can take his beauty, because in poetry the poet is able to preserve the idea of beauty and youth. It is something like a promise in the world of the poem, the youngs man beauty will never die, but it will go on growing in the minds of readers Shakespeare wishes to preserve the young mans beauty against the effects of time.The poem carries the meaning of an Italian orPetrarchan Sonnet (Petrarchan sonnets typically discuss the love and beauty of a beloved). The theme is the transiency of beauty, the poet tries to immortalize the young mans beauty through his experience poetry. Sonnet 130 This is a sonnet written for a blackened lady, in which Shakespeare criticizes the deificationising tendency of the most Elizabethan love poetry to compare the beloved with nature. Sonnet 130 is clearly a parody of the stuffy love sonnet, made popular by Petrarch.In describing his dark lady, he is wide-awake to emphasise how little she corresponds to the conventional idea of beauty of h is time in fact from the sonnet we can understand that the charr is not beautiful she doesnt have soft hair, instead she has got black wire hair, she doesnt have brilliant eyes and red lips , she has dark skin (breasts), but he cant see the colour of the roses in her cheeks and her trace cant be compared to perfume, her voice is not as beautiful as music and she doesnt walk like a goddess.For him, however, the fact that she is not conventionally beautiful is an indication of her natural beauty what fascinates the poet in his lady are the things that make her unique in his eyes, these things make her high-flown in a world in which the women have to correspond to an ideal notion of beauty. So Shakespeare ends the sonnet by proclaiming his love for his mistress, so he does finally embrace the fundamental theme in Petrarchs sonnets total and overwhelming love.Romeo and Juliet (balcony scene) After seeing Juliet at the Capulets house during the feast, Romeo secretly pass on to see her again Romeo, hidden amongst the shadows outside Capulets house, sees Juliet in the balcony Juliet, accept that she is alone, professes her love for Romeo and her profound sorrow that he is a Montague. Romeo reveals himself and the lovers speak to for each one other.Romeo is very poetic when he speaks about Juliet, he is a Platonic lover, in fact he describes Juliet as a perfect woman (he idealizes Juliet) he says Juliet is the sun and the moon is jealous, her eyes are far more brighter than the sun, they are so brighter that the birds sing all the time. He describes her using some of the conventions of courtly love and Neo-Platonism found in sonnets of the time.Instead Juliet, even if she has the passion, goes right into the problem, which is the spend a penny she is more realistic and shes worried because Romeo shouldnt be on that point and if someone sees him he could die. The dominating image in Romeo and Juliet is light Romeo associates Juliet with temperateness and sta rs and the light emanating from angels. Shakespeares works are written in Early raw English the language used by Romeo and Juliet, particularly Romeo, is often lyrical.
