Shakespeare's Sonnet 116 follows the traditional English sonnet structure:
The poet uses this structure to develop his argument systematically, presenting different aspects of love's constancy in each quatrain before concluding with a powerful statement in the couplet.
Vocabulary: Iambic pentameter - A metrical pattern in poetry consisting of five iambs (an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable) per line.
The sonnet is composed primarily in iambic pentameter, with each line containing ten syllables. This rhythmic pattern mimics a heartbeat, subtly reinforcing the poem's theme of enduring love.
Example: "Let me not to the marriage of true minds" (line 1) demonstrates the iambic pentameter pattern.
Shakespeare structures his argument about love's nature across the sonnet's sections:
This progression allows Shakespeare to build a comprehensive case for love's unchanging nature.
In the second quatrain, Shakespeare compares love to an "ever-fixed mark" that serves as a guiding light:
Quote: "It is the star to every wandering bark, / Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken" (lines 7-8)
This metaphor portrays love as a constant, reliable force that guides one through life's journey, much like a lighthouse guides ships at sea.
The third quatrain explores the relationship between love and time:
Quote: "Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks / Within his bending sickle's compass come" (lines 9-10)
Shakespeare argues that while physical beauty may fade with time, true love remains unaffected.
Definition: Time's fool - Something easily manipulated or destroyed by the passage of time.
The central theme of Sonnet 116 is the unwavering nature of true love. Shakespeare asserts that genuine love:
Highlight: The repetition of "love is not" in the first quatrain emphasizes what true love should overcome.
Shakespeare presents an idealized view of love, setting a high standard for what constitutes genuine affection. This perspective challenges readers to consider their own understanding of love and relationships.
The sonnet explores the tension between love and time, ultimately arguing that true love transcends temporal constraints.
Quote: "Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, / But bears it out even to the edge of doom" (lines 11-12)
In the final couplet, Shakespeare boldly states:
Quote: "If this be error and upon me proved, / I never writ, nor no man ever loved" (lines 13-14)
This powerful conclusion underscores the poet's absolute conviction in his understanding of love's nature, challenging any who would disagree.
