The three quatrains satirize common poetic comparisons of one’s beloved to beautiful things, suggesting that the speaker’s feelings are not strong. However, the sudden reversal in tone in the final couplet surprises and moves through its sincerity and depth of feeling, suggesting strong emotions.
Explanation:
In his Sonnet 130, Shakespeare uses metaphor to compare his loved one to beautiful natural things. However, he does so only to conclude that the woman he loves is not better than any of those things. Her hair is like black wires, her color is an unbecoming dun, her breath smells bad, her cheeks do not have any color. Still, he loves her. He does not idolize her in any way. He sees her as the human being she is, and his love is not less valuable because of that.
Shakespeare's intention is to mock the poetry that was so in vogue back at his time. In Elizabethan England, poets often used the Petrarch form when writing about love. They would compare their lovely ladies to goddesses and natural beauties, always claiming their women were far more beautiful than any of those things. It's as if their love made them blind to their flaws. Shakespeare skillfully satirizes such custom.
In her book, 'A good man is hard to find', Flannery O'Connor works with different linguistic tools to give the story a sense of dark humor. One of these tools, being the use of irony.
The first appearance of this technique is at the beginning of the book, when O'Connor explains the reason behind her grandmother getting dressed for a car ride. "In case of an accident, anyone seeing the dead on the highway would know at once that she was a lady."
The writer then keeps on building the story line around the judgment that the grandmother holds up to everyone she meets. After the car crash and the Misfit makes his appearance, O'Connor writes: ""Listen," the grandmother almost screamed, "I know you are a good man, you dont look a bit like you have common blood. I know you must come from nice people!.""
The irony in this is that the grandmother believes that she can properly asses people based on how they look or act, at first encounter, when in reality the Misfit is a sociopath that is measuring all of his actions to get what he desires.
