Moreover, in the sonnet there are some figures of speech, such as:

Metaphor: a word or a phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable. (“Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?” line 1) (“Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, and often is his gold complexion dimmed” lines: 5 and 6) 

Assonance: the repetition of vowel sounds (“So long lives in this and this gives life to thee” line 14)

Metaphor: a word or a phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable. (“Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, and often is his gold complexion dimmed” lines: 5 and 6)

Alliteration: using several words that begin with the same letter (“And summer’s lease hath all too short a date” line 4)

Personification: the attribution of human qualities to objects (“His gold complexion dimmed” line 6)

In the line 8 we can define the word "but" like a turning point, because after this word the author starts to tell how the beloved differs from the summer: the bolved's beauty
 will never fade or die as a summer's day  does.

In this sonnet we can find some figures of speech like:

And summer’s lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed.

"Rough " and " hot" appeal to the sense of touch, "shines" and "gold" appeal to the sense of sight and "buds of May" can be an appeal to the sense of smell

- in the line 3 "Rough winds do shake the darling buds of may, he involved the sense of sight.
-in the line  5 " sometimes too hot the eye of heaven shines"  he involved the sense of touch, he feels the heat of the sun.

Her eyes aren’t as bright as sun, her lips aren’t as red as the coral, her breasts are dun, her hair is described as black wires, she has not red cheeks and her breath smells, she has a terrible voice and a bad way of walking.

Shakespeare explains that he loves his woman in a much truer way than who makes false comparisons and exaggerations between the nature and his lady

Despite this she is real, she isn't just immagination or an ideal of woman. He loves her for this reasons, he thinks she is beautiful just the way she is.

He writes that: her eyes are nothing like the sun, her lips aren't red like a coral, she doesn't have red cheeks, her hair are like black wires, her breath isn't so good and her voice is not so pleasing.

Whit the word "yet" he makes understand that all he says before is not so important, he loves her just the way she is, it doesn't matter if she's not perfect, nobody's perfect. He doesn't want to idealize her woman. he loves her despite evrything and that's the  point. ]]> 2020-06-03 19:24:41 UTC https://padlet.com/carlamariapieranieddu/fr887cugyrgcispw/wish/609651712 Alessandro Serra https://padlet.com/carlamariapieranieddu/fr887cugyrgcispw/wish/611241572 The poet love his woman in spite of the negative comparisons, because he settles for his wife, and he loves her as she is, without appearing like a goddess.

The sonnet starts with a comparison. The turning point is 'but' in the line 9. Shakespeare say that even if the sunlight sooner or later degrades, the light of his friend will never be extinguished, because it.  will always be alive in those verses. In the line 5 there's a personification of the sun 'eye of heaven'. ]]> 2020-06-05 13:45:00 UTC https://padlet.com/carlamariapieranieddu/fr887cugyrgcispw/wish/612997974 Susann susyvlcek https://padlet.com/carlamariapieranieddu/fr887cugyrgcispw/wish/613024001 In the line 2: sight

She's not an imaginary or distant thing, she ' treads on the ground'. He used negative comparison to be ironic about the famous image of the perfect, heavenly and probable woman.
