The Concept of Love in Shakespeare's Sonnets
ISSN 1798-4769 Journal of Language Teaching and Research, Vol. 5, No. 4, pp. 918-923, July 2014 © 2014 ACADEMY PUBLISHER Manufactured in Finland. doi:10.4304/jltr.5.4.918-923 The Concept of Love in Shakespeare’s Sonnets Fenghua Ma School of Foreign Languages, Jiangsu University, 212013 Zhenjiang, China Abstract—The present paper probes into the concept of love revealed in the Dark Lady group in Shakespeare’s Sonnets. In these poems, the poet depicts a kind of obsession, bitter, hopeless and degenerating, which is totally different from that sweet and ennobling love Shakespeare always pursues in his early works. It is argued that the conflict between the ideal of love and the sensual obsession with the Dark Lady may well be a manifestation of the change in the poet’s mood, namely, from optimism to pessimism. Index Terms—the concept of love, Dark Lady, Shakespeare’s Sonnets I. INTRODUCTION Since there are more legends than documented facts about Shakespeare‟s life, his life, in a sense, remains a mystery. Just for this reason, there were plenty of scholars who read Shakespeare‟s sonnets as his autobiography. In “Scorn Not the Sonnet”, for instance, Wordsworth wrote, “with this Key/ Shakespeare unlocked his heart…” (Gill, 2000, p.356). Although this argument is still open to discussion, many scholars seem to believe that sonnets, as lyrical poems, tend to convey more personal implications than other literary forms. Therefore, Shakespeare’s Sonnets bears a special meaning to his whole career of literary creation. These 154 sonnets, with their profound thought, luxuriant images, sincere and oceanic emotion, as well as artistic fascination, can by all means draw a parallel to his enduring plays.

The Physical Beauty in Shakespeare's Sonnets

E-mail: [email protected] Received: February 26, 2016 Accepted: March 18, 2016 Online Published: April 28, 2016 doi:10.5539/ells.v6n2p110 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ells.v6n2p110 Abstract Beauty, one of the most reoccurring words throughout Shakespeare’s Sonnets, is the principal subject of the poet’s meditation. “From fairest creatures we desire increase, / That thereby beauty’s rose might never die” begins the first poem in the sonnet sequence, a statement about beauty that can be understood as the first articulation of the Sonnets’ aesthetic agenda. Beauty in Shakespeare’s Sonnets is represented in two dimensions: the physical beauty and the spiritual beauty. The physical beauty refers to the beauty of the body and the sensual pleasure derived from desires.By means of the illustration of the physical beauty, Shakespeare conveyed the aesthetical world which brings readers enjoyment and delight, moreover, the poet warns readers that the sensual pleasure should base on married chastity and social norms, otherwise, it would result in death and destruction. The account of sexual pleasure shows that on the one hand for enjoying the life itself, on the other hand, for leaving children behind to make the temporary time eternalized, thus returning back to timeless Garden of Eden.

'The 'I' Experiences Both the Negative State of Not Having Something And
Volume 12: 2019-20 ISSN: 2041-6776 ‘The ‘I’ experiences both the negative state of not having something and the positive state of yearning for that thing at one and the same time: the two senses that the modern English usage of the word ‘want’ conveniently holds side by side’ [Catherine Bates]. Is loss the dominant feeling of lyric? Alice Reading In Sonnet 31 of Sir Philip Sidney’s Astrophil and Stella (1591), Sonnet 147 of William Shakespeare’s Shakespeare’s Sonnets (1609), and Sonnet 14 of John Donne’s Holy Sonnets (1633), a dominant feeling of lack, rather than loss, is presented. Depicting a lack of amatory and divine love, these sonnets corroborate and complicate Catherine Bates’ three figurations of lack: as an anticipatory space, as a state of privation, and as a physical wound.1 Written around 1582, Sidney’s sequence of songs and sonnets describing Astrophil’s love for Stella seem to be inspired by Sidney’s own unrequited love for Lady Penelope Devereux, while Shakespeare’s sonnets, written sometime between 1590 and 1605, seem addressed to a young man and The Dark Lady. Donne’s Holy Sonnets, many of which are thought to be composed around 1609, uses the same model of Petrarchan lovers to present spiritual desires – a lack of connection not with the individual but with the divine. Sidney’s sonnet, beginning ‘With how sad steps, O Moon’, displays Astrophil’s lack of love through a dialogue with the personified moon onto which he projects his loneliness. Opening with an image of isolation, the moon is seen alone in ‘the skies’.2 Retreating with ‘sad steps’, the moon moves further into the empty skies in a way that reflects Bates’ first figuration of lack as ‘an anticipatory or pregnant space, waiting to be filled […] often featured as an existential emptiness’.3 Moving into an empty space, the moon reflects the unrequited lover’s move into an emotional emptiness (a space void of intimacy).
