English

vovangra [49]4 years ago

Answer:

Sonnet 29 shows the poet at his most insecure and troubled. He feels unlucky, shamed, and fiercely jealous of those around him. What causes the poet's anguish will remain a mystery; as will the answer to whether the sonnets are autobiographical. 

However, an examination of Shakespeare’s life around the time he wrote Sonnet 29 reveals two traumatic events that may have shaped the theme of the sonnet. In 1592 the London theatres closed due to a severe outbreak of plague. Although it is possible that Shakespeare toured the outlying areas of London, it is almost certain that he left the theatre entirely during this time to work on his sonnets and narrative poems. The closing of the playhouses made it hard for Shakespeare and other actors of the day to earn a living. With plague and poverty looming it is expected that he would feel "in disgrace with fortune"

The poem says a lot about the theme of time passing and looks fading. The woman in the poem regrets the loss of youth and beauty
kykrilka [37]

Answer and Explanation:

This is a personal question about your opinion. I will provide an example below. Feel free to add or edit anything to fit your beliefs and opinions:

<u>My definition of beauty does go beyond looks, although I must agree that all of us probably still judge people first based on their appearance. Still, I believe personality, character, manners, and actions are a better way to convey one's true beauty. Indeed, it is what most people would call "inner beauty", and I truly think it exists. </u>

<u>If someone despises or mistreats others, no matter how physically beautiful that someone is, we will end up finding them ugly because their actions and traits are ugly. The same happens the other way around. A person may not be considered very attractive, but if they are gentle, polite, and intelligent, for instance, we will perceive that person as beautiful and will prefer their company over the attractive but rude person.</u>
