Which statement best explains the two possible interpretations of the sonnet?

English
1 answer:
poizon [28]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: I believe the best answer to be the first option:

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.

What do the following lines mainly reveal about Arnie, from Jose's point of view (paragraph 10)?
avanturin [10]

Answer:

From the following test what I can gather about Jose is that he is jealous of his cousin.

Explanation:

He believes that Arnie is a spoiled brat that deserves all that he has, he wants to be Arnie or to be like Arnie. Jose's feelings of jealousy aren't misplaced. Imagine yourself in that situation, watching someone have everything that you ever wished to have, watch them be the person that you want to be, it would make anyone jealous.
