    Throughout the ages, sonnets represent thematic messages of love and immortality while also following a strict, rigid structure of fourteen lines with a varying rhyme scheme depending on the type of sonnet. One of these sonnets, Shakespearean, was created by none other than William Shakespeare. For example, his sonnet “My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun” focuses heavily on loving a woman despite her ugly features; however, many modern poets break this strict structure, such as Harryette Mullen’s take on Shakespeare’s sonnet where she places a modern twist on the speaker’s view of a woman.

    Death was personified in, “Nor shall Death brag thou wander’st in his shade” (line 11), to show how even death’s grip, that eventually takes everyone, cannot take away this girl. Death was also personified to show how the girl was so extraordinary and beautiful, even death, arguably the most powerful force on Earth, could not touch her beauty. The imagery in “Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May” (line 3), is used to show how the girl is calm and simple, unlike the winds of summer which cause chaos and drive people to not enjoy them. By comparing the girl to summer winds, the poet is expressing his love for the girl by showing how much better she is than summer, which many people tend to be fond of.
