Thine own eyes turn to beauty
Death cheats us all
Him or her cry for life
Death is tall, death is captivating
Shall we go to the market, or maybe?
Questions in life never escape me
I found thine own love on the carpet mat
Poetry ever fades death
But what if she doesn't love me?
What if life ceased to exist?
Then I would be forced to plea,
I would be made a nasty feast
Death waits for his turn
Beth really never got a chance

(This is just a general idea. I wish I could write like him! But I think that we are all special in our own way. It's important to explore passion. I think that Shakespeare defend beauty over death, resulting in a life that never fades away. Yet, death does not allow us to sway...)

It would be wonderful to see you dedicate a series of analysis to Shakespeare’s sonnets...if I had more teachers like you I would been a Shakespeare fanatic by now! (Better late than never!)

What a poem. Excellent analysis. I am always struck--in a society so bent on esteeming and exonerating Change (watch any BBC nature documentary)--by how fundamental our desire for eternity seems. We would have to close our eyes to the obvious import of poems like this one in order to value Change as the central significance of life (as does the BBC nature documentary "Life"). Nothing against BBC documentaries; I'm wonderfully addicted to them. But the poetry of the everlasting is undeniable. I would love to see a follow up video analyzing Keats' "Ode to a Nightingale," to see these two poems in conversation about art. Keep it up!

@Mohan g pro Mohan Das death is personified here

Mohan g pro Mohan Das

Anyone who is explained it ....why the Shakespeare use "Death" in capital letters

Thank u so much for this wonderful analysis it's very important for me :-)

Lorie Chase

This is wonderful, Thank you
It came to me while listening to this, that perhaps he was keeping "himself" alive...more so than this person he is writing about. He wrote so many sonets about different things he experienced or understood.
I'm not familiar with much shakespeare, nonetheless what I have been exposed to makes me feel this way. Like maybe this one says, I loved so deeply once, in a moment I(he) felt so deeply. I've had experiences like that.. they never last..
They fade..until it happens again.
I guess I should read more of his work before having an opinion.
All the same, this was great and you should do more.. just like everyone else suggested. I really needed this today .. again, thank you.

Vishruth Aggarwal

what a beautiful expression by the person himself, keep it up mate.

Sir, you're going to be the reason I pass my English exam tomorrow.

William Shakespear was famous for his _ _ _ _ _ of sonnets.

B)collection
C)Garland
D) Anthology

Shakespeare didn't intend line 2's last word to be dragged so the last syllable is pronounced "ate" instead of "it" ?

As far as I’m aware, most Shakespearian Scholars are in agreement that the person that is being referred to in this poem is male. I have no idea why choose to interpret that person as female.

The speaker shouldn't be so insistent on his use of female pronouns. The poem was actually addressed to a man.

Ema King

I am not good at literature, not good at analyzing it, that's why I don't like it. But you changed my mind. I was struck by the meaning behind this sonnet. Though I am not good at this field, it makes me want to explore more and thanks for those people who explains this to me. And this also help me in my studies. Thank you very much.

Dear Shakespeare, with all respects, shall I compare thee to Saadi 13th century Persian poet?

Munihmuni

Are you aware that Lord Francis Bacon, amongst another great work of particular consideration, orchestrated the Shakespearean plays? The true history of Shakespeare is this: his daughters were illiterate, so were his parents. London holds contracts signed by Shakespeare, six signatures in all, and maybe in three of them can one sparsely make out the name of William Shakespeare. This history isn't taught at any newer university so you'll probably take the safe route and just consider this "conspiracy" and not worthy of sincere or scholarly consideration. Am I wrong?

Sarath S.Kumar

It was so helpful Sir. Thank you so much.

hello Mr. Huff, where did you go? How about Sonnet 116, if it isn't too much trouble?!

Tácio Medeiros

Excellent analysis and presentation.
I enjoyed especially the pointing of intertextualities and subtle references and ideas.
I understand it would be impossible to note every one of them in the video but I think one unavoidable reference is Horace's Ode 3.30, which is the origin of the latin phrase "non omnis moriar" (I shall not wholly die) http://www.kniskern.com/robin/classics/horace/o3.30.html

Wait are you saying that only a piece of art, poems etc can be eternal. THAT TOO IF IT IS WRITTEN BY A GREAT POET, READ BY A LOT OF PEOPLE. WOW. Just like back then to say fair is beautiful was excepted but you stayed away from that reference. I want to say that saying eternal is only art peace is not fair.
