Sonnet 116

If I were the young man I would definatley start looking at Shakespeare in a different life after this. In this sonnet Shakespeare talks about eteranal love and the fact that it should last through time and past forever. In this sonnet I think that it has less to do with the young man and more to do with Shakespeare's faith in love. I think that he believes that love is forever and that maybe he's feeling love for the young man. This is one of those "aaww" sonnets like how cute. It makes girls feel mushy and think about prince charming. Thats what this poem reminds you of, the classic princess and her white knight. Its sort of different than what you picture for normal Shakespeare, sort of the opposite. I don't really see him as the mushy gushy type just the artist type. I think its sort of a nice change up from the usaul.
