Sonnet 129

This sonnet is intense. There is so much outpouring emotion that its coming from all sides. You don't know whether to feel frustrated, exasperated, sad or even accepting. You feel all the emotions flowing through the sonnet, in and out of the words. You can see as he moves through the wanting to the having to the wanting more. You can feel the conflict thats going on inside the writer. I think that Shakespeare knew that the feelings he was having for the dark lady were wrong, but he was beggining to care less and less. Then when he finally gets what he wants he thinks that he will feel better, but in fact he feels just as crazy as before. The difference in the end, I think, is that he accepts that fact that he wants the dark lady wrong or not. I think I respect him more in this sonnet because of the fact that he comes to terms with himself and what hes feeling.
