Answer:
The main theme of the poem is the conflicts that a teenager goes through.
Explanation:
This poem is related by a teenager who finds herself with fears and problems. She is afraid of loneliness, death and criticizes sexism.
All this she must face alone, since her mother is only locked in her room.
Let's look at the aforementioned problems:
- Fear of loneliness: This is expressed every time she says: <em>"and momma's in the bedroom with the door closed ",</em> she is afraid to face this whole stage alone and her mother does not accompany her. Also in another line she expresses this fear with the following words: <em>"Nobody even stops to think about my side of it "
</em>
- Fear of death: He refers to this repeatedly: <em>"what if I die before morning "," suppose I die before graduation "," will I live long enough to grow up ".
</em>
- She criticizes sexism: <em>"I should have been on Math Team my marks were better than his". </em>Someone has rejected her just because she is a woman.
There are many differences between Shakespeare's and Petrarch's sonnets, the most obvious one being the form of the sonnet. Shakespeare's sonnets have 14 lines, divided into 3 quatrains (a stanza of 4 lines) and a couplet at the end (a stanza of two lines), and they are written in blank verse, meaning that there is no rhyme. On the other hand, Petrarch's sonnets consist of an octave (a stanza of 8 lines) and a sestet (a stanza of 6 lines) and they rhyme.
When it comes to sonnet 130 in particular ("My mistress's eyes are nothing like the sun"), the answer is quite obvious. This sonnet is very unconventional in a sense that Shakespeare seems to write about his loved one in an awful manner, pointing out to her bad qualities, depicting her as an ugly and unattractive woman. But the point is that he loves her nevertheless. On the other hand, Petrarch always talks about his loved Laura in the most beautiful manner. <span />
