Shall i compare thee to a summer’s day by william shakespeare assignment

He clearly states that “ His gold complexion dimmed, / And every fair from fair sometime declines” he is talking about man. Romantic love is not likely what Shakespeare intended by writing this poem. If anything it is a chance for Shakespeare to brag how good a writer he is. He says that he is such a good writer that this man will be kept alive through his poem because he believes people will read it forever. “ So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, / So long lives this, and this gives life to thee” “ This” being the poem.

And the best part about it is that Shakespeare is right. The young man is still alive because of his poem. -KT. | Posted on 2008-09-29 | by a guest .: :. The language of the poem is obvious pre-twentieth century language. Shakespeare uses words such as; thou, dimm’d, untrimmm’d, wander’st and growest. These words aren’t usually used now a day, we tend to use more modern words. We would only use words like this if we were writing, for example, a sonnet and we wanted to make it authentic.
