Sonnet 147

I think that this sonnet is similar to sonnet 129. Both sonnets talk about Shakespeare's longing for the dark lady. However in this sonnet it talks about his longing for her even though he knows that she has been with other people. I think that I like this sonnet because it makes Shakespeare more human instead of this imcredible writer that no one can touch. In this sonnet we get to see him agonize over a woman that he cannot rightfully claim is his. He wants to think poorly of her and her low sense of morals, but he can't. He still thinks the world of her even though he knows the truth about her. I feel bad for the guy because he doesn't know which way is right or wrong, but he does know that he will continue the affair with her because he still longs for her and the way that she makes him feel. Although I can not place all the blame on the dark lady. Shakespeare allowed himself the affair, he indulged in his longing for her. It doesn't matter whos really right or wrong I think, because either way it ends in heart break.
