Read the following excerpt from Shakespeare's "Sonnet 73" and answer the question.
yaroslaw [1]

Shakespeare suggests that the light, which "black night doth take away" is like death taking away life.

<em>Which by and by black night doth take away,</em>

<em>Death's second self that seals up all in rest.</em>

Shakespeare's Sonnet 73 is ridden with dark and dreary, moods, tones, alliteration, metaphors, and diction.

"Sun taking away the rain" is erroneous. If that were the case, then a jubilant mood would then be incorporated into the sonnet. Light rays banishing the cruel clouds would give the poem an empowering and hopeful mood.

Liking Shakespeare's sonnet to a "song taking away silence" is fallacious. While this answer choice does not make mention of the genre of the song (e.g. sad, reminiscent, emotional) you can generally assume that song uplifts the soul and extradites silence.

"Day taking away the night" is another buoyant and reassuring mood that has no place in Sonnet 73. The sunrise or "day taking away night" is a mark of a new day and hold the connotation of a clean slate, new expectations, and more opportunities.

The above choices do not hold to the author's mood and are therefore incorrect:

Shakespeare suggests that the light, which "black night doth take away" is like death taking away life. Take a look a the bolded words below and analyze the connotation and relation each phrase has with each other.

In me thou seest the twilight of such day

As after sunset fadeth in the west;

Which by and by black night doth take away,

Death's second self that seals up all in rest.

In me thou seest the glowing of such fire

That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,

As the deathbed whereon it must expire,

Consumed with that which it was nourished by.

This thou perceiv'st, which makes thy love more strong,

To love that well, which thou must leave ere long.

Shakespeare's tone is dread filled until the last two lines of the poem which by then adopts and concocts an inspirational mood and tone.

Nevertheless, the bolded words clearly affirms that death taking away life was a reoccurring theme in Sonnet 73.

In me thou seest the twilight of such day

As after sunset fadeth in the west;

Which by and by black night doth take away,

<em>Death's</em><em> second self that </em><em>seals up</em><em> all in rest.</em>

The "black night" which takes away the "sunset" is compared to death. The "second half" of Death the poem speaks of is the "sunset" or "light" which can be correlated with the word "life."

Shakespeare is saying that though Death and Life are two sides of one coin, there will always be the dark memory or instance of death taking away life.
