'It is the star to every wandering bark'. Love is the star that guides the single people who are 'lost' and cannot find the happiness of love. This gives the reader something to relate to, agree with, or disagree with.

Imagery The marriage of true minds "it is an ever fixed mark" It is a metaphor that means that the lovestays with you Like a scar or a stain, it never goes away. This could indicate that true love might a bad effect towards the rest of your life like 'an ever fixed mark.'

Imagery- E.x ' Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, but bears it out even to the edge of doom'

- In this phrase, Shakespeare uses imagery affectively to portray the evolution of love and age in a relationship. It follows the traditions of a Christian/Catholic marriage which lasts ' till death do us part'.

This stanza portrays the strength of love and how age and time can not break it and that only the tragic occurrence of physical death can break the bond of two lovers. Swageth upon thou <3

"It is the star to every wandering bark" This creates an image of a star leading a lost ship in a storm to its destination. Compared to a lonely person that is trying to find true love and the star is the person who will fulfill his/her happiness.

'That looks on tempests and is never shaken;'

Shakespeare describes that love has a nature of changing constantly by using word 'tempests', which makes the readers to think of image of storm. However, he says that it is 'never shaken', which implies that love would never be vanished no matter how vulnerable it is.

'O no! it is an ever fixed mark, that looks on tempests and is never shaken'...portrays the image of a lighthouse (love) guiding ships (you) through storms (bad times). This demonstatrates that everyone goes through bad times and gives up but it is love that carries us back up, this makes the reader see and feel the sincirety, passion, and intensity of loooooooooooooooove!!!!!!!!!!

Imagery: '... It is an ever-fixed mark.' This symbolizes a lighthouse that guides the way for the 'lost ships' through ran, storms and stormy nights. This may show us that faithful lovers always try to comfort, encourage and care for you during hard times. For a 16th century reader, where woman were not treated equally for their husband, therefore this poem expressing relatable love may be an example of hope. A lighthouse or an 'ever-fixed mark' symbolizes the strength of love and how it is the roots for the growth of love. I think that Shakespeare chooses to show the strength of love through imagery as this portrays an image in our head making the message more clear. Loves not times fool, through rosy lips and cheeks' this line portrays a race between time and love. Time is always going to be ahead of us and change and interfere in our lives. However, shakespeare uses this to show how strong the force of love is and how it cannot be destroyed by any force in the world even something as strong as Time. However much we change through 'rosy lips and cheeks' love is unconditional and does not change.

Shakespeare is able to use imagery very effectively.

'Love's not time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks',

gives the reader a sense that love is dependent on time,

yet it does not obey time.

Shakespeare is good, I think. He gives us an imagery of love when he says "Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks...". It gives the reader a feeling that love changes through time and that it lasts forever <3

'Within his bending sickle's compass come'. Shakespeare symbolises death through the sickle. He is uses a marriage vow of the Christian church 'till death do you part' to indicate that true love is only separated at death.

Imagery: Shakespeare uses imagery to an advantage. "Love's not times fool

'O, no! it is an ever-fixed mark' this symbolises that even in dark and stormy times there will be a 'Light house' to help you through thick and thin, to guide you all the way from the bad times, for true love can weather the storm.

'Love's not Time's fool' symbolises that love lasts forever and in metaphorical terms 1 minute can feel like forever

The imagery used in the third final line "but bears it out even to the edge of doom" gives the impression of personified love, and through doom It shan't waver, and will continue to exist even faced with turmoil. Moreover, Shakespeare does this so we can almost see love, and know of its certainty to the very end. Also, Shakespeare uses imagery very effectively in line 10, which is 'Within his bending sickle's compass come; Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks' This is saying that love dies along with us, and 'the edge of doom' which symbolizes that love is 'until sth do us part' from the vow. This gives a creepy atmosphere for the reader, as if it is a life lesson for the reader to use their minds as well as the heart when she/he is about to marry someone.

Imagery-

"Who's worth's unknown, although his height can be taken". Love does not have a value that can be measured. It is not a thing that is visible. The altitude is a substitute for intensity and depth in this sonnet. The feeling, emotions and intensity can be measured

'...Which alters when it

alteration finds... Love alters

not with his brief hours and

weeks...' These uses of contradictory

phrases symbolizes the idea that

love is motile yet is as stable as

one wants it to be. Shakespeare able to

develop this idea of a contradictive

ever-changing, strong-standing love

even further by fluctuating his tone

to and fro from the vaguely started

beginning to the clear conclusion:

'...I never writ, nor no man ever loved'.

Shakespeare is using imagery to an advantage by using it to describe love. "Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and chicks..."

"It is the star to every wandering bark". In this stanza, love is a guide to every lost person, a person who is alone(single). A star is always there, whether you see it or not. In a way love can be a star..
