In "Sonnet 71," the speaker advises the beloved to quickly forget him upon his death, disliking the thought that remembrance could cause sorrow. Still, the speaker uses the poem as a means to achieve remembrance. Conversely, in "Sonnet 75," the speaker talks about inscribing the beloved’s name only to witness it being washed away. A key idea in this poem suggests that while writing may fade, love endures. This contrasts with the Shakespearean sonnet, in which the speaker desires love to diminish so the beloved won’t be saddened.

Both poems reflect the theme of love directed towards another; Spenser expresses that his love will endure beyond the world, while Shakespeare conveys a desire to be forgotten to spare his love any potential sorrow.

Spenser aims to eternalize his love, even though nature erases his expressions—a notion that could indicate folly. However, the final couplet indicates that nothing is permanent, except for their love.

In contrast, Shakespeare's approach is slightly more somber; he implores his love to not mourn him after he passes. He values the subject of his poem so much that he'd prefer to be forgotten rather than bring them pain. The concluding couplet reinforces this idea by suggesting he wants to prevent his love from facing ridicule due to his grief.

Ultimately, both poems address love and time, albeit with differing perspectives.

Discuss how these excerpts from the play help to illustrate the theme of morality versus law in Antigone.
hammer [7621]

In both excerpts from the play, the theme of morality is juxtaposed with law in Antigone. It highlights the conflict between Moral or Divine law and Human law. Additionally, pride emerges as another theme, as we see individuals crafting laws that replace divine mandates, believing them to originate from divine authority.


Hope this is helpful, Regards.

How does Helen Dare use comparisons to characterize Susan B. Anthony, and what do these comparisons reveal about her point of vi
hammer [7621]

When engaging in comparisons, you should seek out similes or metaphors. For instance, "The sun is a hot bowl of lava" is a metaphor, comparing the sun to lava. Alternatively, you might see: "The sun is as hot as a bowl of lava," which is a simile.

Direct comparisons may also occur, such as: Susan’s artwork resembles that of da Vinci. Therefore, as you read, watch for instances like these. Then, contemplate how these comparisons illustrate a particular perspective. Are these comparisons framed positively or negatively?
