Title- Let me not to the marriage of true minds. My group and I believe that this title
ReplyDeleteParaphrase- This poem is about the speakers thoughts of love. He/she believes that love is hard to find, yet hard to lose, and is also hard to reach, but is a journey we embark on. Also, in the line "Love's not Time's fool, through rosy lips and cheeks," explains how love is not found through appearance, because if it were, people would never age and lose their vibrant features. At the end of the poem, the speaker claims that if we is wrong, then love has a different meaning, or doesn't exist at all.
Clever Language- Time words: "Time's fool," "compass," "hours and week."
Attitude and Audience- The attitude of the poem is depressing, and allows deep thought into the reader. This poem makes the reader second guess the true meaning of love, and questions how hard it really is to find.
Speaker- The speaker states his views on love, and states how it is "an ever-fixed mark," meaning that love will always have an impact in all.
Shifts- It seems as though the speaker is constantly talking about time in love, yet says how "Love's not Time's fool." The Poem shifts from questioning the true meaning of love to a life-long journey.
Title- We believe that the title mean that marriage is not for appearance, but for true personality. If love were found in appearance, then time would matter.
Theme- True love and what is really means.
