spring. • He is my knight in shining armour. Sonnet 18 Sonnet 18 Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date: 5 Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimmed; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance, or nature's changing course, untrimmed; But thy eternal summer shall not fade, 10 Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st, Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st: So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2RXZN80zX0 Materialien Webcode WES-73644-110 Hintergrundinformationen Methodisches Vorgehen 2 COMPREHENSION Webcode WES-73644-110 • Sonett 18 (114 Wörter) • Video (1:12): Sonnet 18 recited by David Tennant, über den Webcode auf www.westermann.de zu finden. David Tennant (* 1971) begegnete den S schon auf der Intro-Doppelseite, als einer der acht Hamlets, die To be or not to be diskutierten. a) Bevor die Lerngruppe die Aufnahme hört/sieht, sollte L deutlich machen, dass die S nicht alles verstehen müssen. Es geht vielmehr um das Verständnis des Wesentlichen. L: It is absolutely normal not to understand every single word at first, but as you read or watch more and more, you'll get used to the language (and in the end you might even start adopting Shakespeare's style). In einem Round robin (→Methods, TM Seite 452) notiert L die Eindrücke der S auf Folie. Neben inhaltlichen Aspekten können die S Eindrücke zum Thema, zur Wirkung des Vortrags und zu Shakespeares Sprache nennen. Bei inhaltlichen Missverständnissen kann L diesen Aspekt auf der Folie kenn- zeichnen und die S bei der Überleitung zu b) dafür sensibilisieren: When you paraphrase the sonnet, check if this aspect is correct. b) Bei der Ergebnissicherung sollten inhaltliche Missverständnisse aus a) geklärt werden. Differenzierung Zwar müssen die S beim ersten Mal nicht alles verstehen, dennoch können in schwächeren Lerngruppen die folgenden Vokabeln vorentlastet werden: temperate = calm, bud = a flower that is not fully open, lease = time, fair= beautiful, to brag = to talk too proudly about sth. Lösungsvorschlag a) - focus on the lover being better than summer and nature - idea that time cannot affect love or the lover's beauty - first half of the poem focuses on nature and the summer, while the second half focuses on his love for this woman and her beauty b) Shall I compare you to a day in summer? You are lovelier than a day in summer and your mood changes less often: Rough winds shake the buds that grow in May, And summer does not last long enough: Sometimes the sun is too hot; And often it is dimmed by the clouds; And everything stops being beautiful, By accident or because of the course of nature; But your eternal summer will not fade, And nor will you lose your beauty, And nor will death brag that it is coming for you soon, Because you live and grow in my eternal verses: So as long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long as this verse exists, it will give you life.

Step by step Analysing a Shakespearean sonnet ANALYSIS 3 Language awareness a) Say what you like about Shakespeare's language. b) Explain what differences to today's English you notice. You can use the info box below. Info Shakespeare's language Like other poets of his time, Shakespeare experimented with language. Any kind of wordplay and especially puns were extremely popular with the Elizabethan audience. He also made up many new words and introduced them into the English language, although in some cases, a word may have existed before Shakespeare but was never recorded. Shakespeare also modified existing words by changing their function, e.g. using verbs as if they were nouns or making verbs out of nouns by adding prefixes, e.g. "to unhair". Some words have changed their meaning since Shakespeare's time, others are not used any more and with still other words, we just do not know what they may have meant in Shakespeare's day. The words "thou", "thee" and "thy" as opposed to "you" and "your" are used frequently. To put it very simply, in 1600 "you" was polite, more formal usage whereas "thou" was more familiar. Depending on the social context, "thou" could imply either closeness and friendship or it could mean contempt and even be insulting. Shakespeare's language may at first seem quite difficult to understand and very different from today's English. But once you have familiarized yourself with his language, you will get the gist of it, although you may not understand every single word. So if there are some passages which you just do not understand, why not turn to your neighbour and ask "Hast thou done thy homework? Hast thou understood these lines?" Materialien Methodisches Vorgehen Lösungsvorschlag 3 ANALYSIS Language awareness Sonnet 18 (114 Wörter) a) Hier sollten die S Textstellen aus dem Sonett zitieren. I like... in particular, as it... This can be seen in line... a) I like Shakespeare's use of colourful and imaginative words / the use of stylistic devices that cause onomatopoeic effects / the different pronouns that put more emphasis on the addressee / the sound of words / the images Shakespeare creates with his language b) There are lots of differences between Shakespeare's English and modern English. Shakespeare uses 'thou', 'thy' and 'thee', where we use 'you' and 'your'. He uses 'art' instead of 'are', 'hath' instead of 'has' and 'sometime' rather than 'sometimes'. His language is more complex and formal than our language today. Step by step Analysing a Shakespearean sonnet 4 Sonnet 18 can be read as an argumentative text, leading to a logical conclusion.

L. 6) the sun. continuance of the argument: all the "fair from fair" (l. 7) things die at the end of summer and are not long lasting, unlike his love for his beloved the speaker talks about how the beauty of the lover is eternal because the speaker has immortalized the beloved in his poem: "thy eternal summer shall not fade, [...] when in eternal lines to time thou grow'st" (ll. 9-12). This concludes the argument of comparing the beloved to a summer's day the poem ends with a firm statement that confirms his previous argument that the beloved will live forever in the verses of the poem "as long as men can breathe" (1.13) Step by step Analysing a Shakespearean sonnet Analysis: Analyse the sonnet with regard to the portrayal of the lover and the presentation of the relationship between speaker and lover. In doing so, focus on how the structure, imagery and stylistic devices complement the content.

Step 5: What makes Shakespeare's language poetic? "Thou art more lovely and more temperate [than a summer's day]" (L2) Q2 GK (BLE) I ellipsis • "death brag [that] thou wander'st" (l. 11) so Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st, Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st: So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. Assignment (group work): 1. Find examples of stylistic devices and their effects and make notes on your worksheet. 2. Draw a table and fill in your findings (stylistic device example ➜effect). Shakespeare's use of ellipsis seems to mainly focus on keepin his lines within the rules of the sonnet form, but also keeps his language more conversational. Since he is addressing a lover, this makes sense, and thus Shakespeare's use of ellipsis ensures that his poetic content fits his audience.

For example, with the alliteration in the line "too hot the eye of heaven shines”, Shakespeare draws attention to his use of another device (the personification of the sun as a being with an eye), thereby heightening the effect of this device. anaphora Anaphora "And [...] And [...]" (LL. 6-7) "Nor [...] Nor [...]” (LL. 10-11) The use of anaphora emphasizes certain lines. In this poem it occurs more frequently towards the end. The final two lines use • "So long [...] So long [...]" "So long as men can breathe (ll. 13-14) or eyes can see, / So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.", which emphasizes Shakespeare's final claim that the beauty of his beloved will last as long as mankind and as long as his poem. antithesis Antithesis • "temperate" (l. 2) vs. "rough" (1.3) • "gold" vs. "dimmed" (l. 6) • "eternal" vs. "fade" (1.9) "lose" vs. "possession" (L. 10) In his sonnet, Shakespeare mainly uses antithesis to exaggerate his beloved's beauty. By describing his beloved's mood as "temperate" and then immediately afterwards describing the winds of May as "rough", Shakespeare is able to put his lover directly above nature and more beautiful than it. The direct comparison only increases this. ellipsis Ellipsis • "Thou art more lovely and more temperate [than a summer's day]" (1.2) • "death brag [that] thou wander'st" (l. 11) Shakespeare's use of ellipsis seems to mainly focus on keeping his lines within the rules of the sonnet form, but also keeps his language more conversational. Since he is addressing a lover, this makes sense, and thus Shakespeare's use of ellipsis ensures that his poetic content fits his audience. metaphor Metaphor "the eye of heaven” (l.5) "his gold complexion" (L. 6) • "death brag thou wander'st in his shade" (l. 11) The use of metaphor in this poem makes the images more powerful. Shakespeare often uses a special kind of metaphor called personification. Here, he makes both the sun ("the eye of heaven" who has a "gold complexion") and death (who is able to "brag") into men. The creation of the human imagery not only makes the description more vivid but also more relatable. extended metaphor "Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, / And often is his gold complexion dimmed" (ll. 5-6) • By extending this metaphor, ● Shakespeare encourages his readers to think more deeply about it and what it means for the subject of the poem. • He is able to elaborate on his comparison between the failings of nature and the perfection of his beloved by extending the metaphor. parallelism Parallelism "And often is his [...] / And every fair from fair [...]" (ll. 6-7) "Nor lose possession [...] / Nor shall death brag [...]" (ll. 10-11) "So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, / So long lives this, and this gives life to thee." (LL. 13-14) Shakespeare's use of parallelism in Sonnet 18 does not so much create contrast as it ties themes together. While his repetition of 'and' draws parallels between two ways in which the beauty of nature can decline or be subdued, his repetition of 'nor' links together two ways in which the beauty of his beloved shall not decline or be subdued. • Meanwhile, the parallel 'so long' in the couplet at the end of the sonnet reiterates the idea that the beauty of his beloved is lasting. ● personification Personification "Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, / And often is his gold complexion dimmed" (ll. 5-6) • "death brag thou wander'st in his shade" (l. 11) • The personification that Shakespeare uses allows a more real and visual comparison between the beauty of his beloved and the beauty of nature. By making the sun into a man, with "his gold complexion", Shakespeare allows the reader to more readily see the comparison that is drawn between natural and human beauty. • Personification also allows the reader to relate and understand the message of the poem more easily. By making death a man who is capable of bragging and casting a shadow, Shakespeare creates a more material and relatable image of something we are all ultimately afraid of (dying) and simultaneously makes it seem avoidable. After all, you can't actually escape death, but you can escape a person. The personification makes Shakespeare's storytelling more plausible. pun/wordplay Pun/wordplay "temperate" (l. 2) can refer to a mild character or to mild weather/temperatures rhetorical question Rhetorical question "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?” (l. 1) The rhetorical question in this sonnet occurs in the very first line of the poem. This means that from its very beginning it is clear who the poem is addressing ('thee') and what the content will cover (the comparison between the recipient and a summer's day). • The fact that this is formed as a rhetorical question engages the reader and makes him or her more engaged in finding out the answer, therefore keener to read on. element alliteration anaphora antithesis example • "too hot the eye of heaven shines" (1.5) • "every fair from fair" (L.7) • "So long lives this" (L. 14) "And [...] And [...]" (LL. 6-7) • "Nor [...] Nor [...]" (LL. 10-11) • "So long [...] So long [...]" (IL. 13-14) ● • "temperate" (l. 2) vs. "rough" (1.3) • "gold" vs. "dimmed" (1.6) • "eternal" vs. "fade" (1.9) • "lose" vs. "possession" (L. 10) effect Some of the alliteration in this sonnet helps to enrich the poetic effect of the poem. For example, with the alliteration in the line "too hot the eye of heaven shines", Shakespeare draws attention to his use of another device (the personification of the sun as a being with an eye), thereby heightening the effect of this device. The use of anaphora emphasizes certain lines. In this poem it occurs more frequently towards the end.

The creation of the human imagery not only makes the description more vivid but also more relatable. element example extended metaphor "Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, / And often is his gold complexion dimmed" (II.5-6) parallelism • "And often is his [...]/ And every fair from fair [...]" (11.6-7) • "Nor lose possession [...] / Nor shall death brag [...]" (L. 10-11) • "So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, / So long lives this, and this gives life to thee." (IL. 13-14) effect • By extending this metaphor, Shakespeare encourages his readers to think more deeply about it and what it means for the subject of the poem. • He is able to elaborate on his comparison between the failings of nature and the perfection of his beloved by extending the metaphor. Shakespeare's use of parallelism in Sonnet 18 does not so much create contrast as it ties themes together. • While his repetition of 'and' raws parallels between ways in which the beauty of nature can decline or be subdued, his repetition of 'nor' links together two ways in which the beauty of his beloved shall not decline or be subdued. . Meanwhile, the parallel 'so long' in the couplet at the end of the sonnet reiterates the idea that the beauty of his beloved is lasting. . personification pun/wordplay • "Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, / And often is his gold complexion dimmed" (II.5-6) "death brag thou wander'st in his shade" (L. 11) "temperate" (L.2) • The personification that Shakespeare uses allows a more real and visual comparison between the beauty of his beloved and the beauty of nature. By making the sun into a man, with "his gold complexion", Shakespeare allows the reader to more readily see the comparison that is drawn between natural and human beauty. • Personification also allows the reader to relate and understand the message of the poem more easily. By making death a man who is capable of bragging and casting a shadow, Shakespeare creates a more material and relatable image of something we are all ultimately afraid of (dying) and simultaneously makes it seem avoidable. After all, you can't actually escape death, but you can escape a person. The personification makes Shakespeare's storytelling more plausible. can refer to a mild character or to mild weather/temperatures element rhetorical question example "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?" (L. 1) effect • The rhetorical question in this sonnet occurs in the very first line of the poem. This means that from its very beginning it is clear who the poem is addressing ('thee') and what the content will cover (the comparison between the recipient and a summer's day). • The fact that this is formed as a rhetorical question engages the reader and makes him or her more engaged in finding out the answer, therefore keener to read on.

There are different types of sonnets: The Italian (Petrarchan) sonnet consists of two quatrains and two tercets, often with a turn or change of theme in the two tercets. The English (Shakespearean) sonnet consists of three quatrains and a couplet, often with a turn or change of theme in the couplet. The turn can come before the couplet, usually at line 9.

In this case, it is where Shakespeare stops talking about summer and starts focusing on the beauty of his beloved. • The final rhyming couplet: "So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, / So long lives this, and this gives life to thee" is also typical of a Shakespearean sonnet (and one of the main differences between the English sonnet and the Italian sonnet). • While the turning point allows Shakespeare to explore two themes in only fourteen lines, the rhyming couplet allows him to neatly summarize his case. The Shakespearean sonnets A sonnet is a poem of fourteen lines which follows a strict rhyme pattern. It is usually divided into two parts: the octave (the first 8 lines) and the sestet (= the last 6 lines). The octave and the sestet are separated by a break in thought: a general statement made in the octave is illustrated or amplified (verstärke) in the sestet. The Shakespearean sonnet has a much simpler rhyme pattern. It consists of three stanzas with four lines each (=quatrain) and an ending of two lines (=couplet) - which is 14 lines in all. Most of Shakespeare's 154 sonnets are written in iambic pentameter. ABAB CDCD EFEF (= 3 quatrains) GG➜ a couplet with a conclusive thought Sonnet 18 Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date: 5 Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimmed; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance, or nature's changing course, untrimmed; But thy eternal summer shall not fade, 10 Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st, Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st: So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
