Today in class we continued with our discussion of sonnets. We talked about the quiz on Tuesday in the beginning of class. Then we finished going over the rest of Shakespeare's sonnets for the rest of class.
We started by finishing #29; the sonnet was about someone who hates himself and wanted to to be someone else, but whenever he thinks of the other person he loves, he does not hate himself and does not want to change his life with anyone else.
For #55: the sonnet has a similar idea to #18 and it talks about how the poem about someone will outlast war, death, and the world's end, all the way until judgment day when the person in the poem will come back to life.
For #73: the sonnet is written in the first person and compares the subject (I), to fall, twilight, and the embers of a fire which are all symbols for aging and approaching death. The first person then says the second person's love for the first person stronger since the first person won't last forever.
