Question

Which sentence best describes this excerpt from Shakespeare's Sonnet 130?

Answer 1

I would say that this answer is B.

Answer 2

Answer:

A. The poet uses unusual metaphors to imply the intensity of his love.

Explanation:

In this poem, Shakespeare uses unusual metaphors to refer to the beloved. With these metaphors he expresses that he is aware that his beloved is no more beautiful than nature or divine things and it is this consistency that proves the poet's love for this woman.

In this poem Shakespear meant that when poets use metaphors to make comparisons that are not real about the beauty of their beloved, they do not really love her, they just love her beauty.
