Question

Read the lines from Shakespeare’s "Sonnet 130."

Answer 1

The correct answer should be D) In the first sonnet, the speaker explains why his love is not a beauty, while in the second the speaker describes his love’s beauty.
As you can see in the first sonnet, Shakespeare is saying that his love isn't really that beautiful - she is nothing like the sun, she is dark (when pale skin was admired), her hair resembles wires; on the other hand, in the second sonnet, he is praising his loved one's beauty, saying how she is more lovely than a summer's day. However, what is common for both sonnets is the love that the poet feels for the woman.
