There has been some controversy as to whether the sonnets are actually written by William Shakespeare, the strongest argument for this is the phrase "BY.OVR.EVERLIVING .POET.", in which some, most notable being entertainment lawyer and author Bertram Fields, argue that this would mean the author would have died by 1609, while William Shakespeare lived until 1616. [1]The 154 poems were most likely written over a period of years and published in the 1609 collection. They were all in sonnet form and unpublished, except for poems numbers 138 and 144 which were part of the Pilgrim passionate, published in 1599. Sonnets 18 to 126 tell the story of a young man and the admiration of the poet. and love for him, while 127-152 are addressed to the poet's mistress. In this essay, we will look at sonnets 18, 116, and 130 and what they say about love, and see if they share any similarities with each other.[2]Sonnet XVIII (18)Sonnet 18 speaks love in its purest form; it is evident that the author has great admiration for the person to whom the sonnet is addressed, giving the subject an almost divine and eternal status. If we look at the first two lines: “Shall I compare you to a summer day? a more beautiful and temperate art: "It is clear that he cannot use a summer day as a comparison, because the person is better than a summer day. He goes on to explain how a summer day is not perfect, saying that: "The violent winds shake the cherished buds of May" and "And the summer lease has everything to shorten a date. It is believed that even a summer day has its faults, At the beginning of summer, there can be violent storms that distort the beauty of the cherished buds and summer does not last forever. At the end of the sonnet, there are some very important lines, which talk about life. and beauty everlasting: “But thy everlasting summer shall not fade, nor lose the possession of this fair that thou art, neither shall death boast that thou wanderest in his shadow” This can. be seen as a promise that he will never die or be forgotten, and that he will never lose the beauty that he possesses. The last line could be a biblical reference "Yes, though I walk through the valley of. the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me”[3], even though death has taken him, his beauty will shine like a beacon and light up any shadow that death might have cast upon him , thus giving eternal life.
