Write a 150-word essay discussing Shakespeare’s use of imagery in “Sonnet 73” and it’s effect on the poems tone and meaning

English

tatuchka [14]3 years ago
7 0

Sonnet 73 takes up one of the most pressing issues of the first 126 sonnets, the speaker’s anxieties regarding what he perceives to be his advanced age, and develops the theme through a sequence of metaphors each implying something different. The imagery of autumn and winter, twilight and finally the yhe image of the fire consumed by the ashes of its youth all contribute to the elegiac tone of this sonnet, while exploring the same theme (senescence) in a progressive manner: that is, from imagery of sobriety or emptiness to the fire close to extinction, the metaphor closest to death and the closure of the speaker or lyric-I . Sonnet 73 is not simply a procession of interchangeable metaphors; it is the story of the speaker slowly coming to grips with the real finality of his age and his impermanence in time, with a final poignatn exhortation on the last two verses.

After Twain studies man and animals, what finding "humiliates" him?
iren [92.7K]

The finding that Twain found humiliating is that instead of the Darwinian Theory that man originated from lower animals, the reverse was the case. For him, man originated from higher animals.

<h3>What is the Darwinian Theory?</h3>

This theory explains the origin of life and shows that man is a higher animal that came from lower animals.

However, Mark Twain does not seem to agree with this as seen in his article, "The Lowest Animal." He believes that man is lower while animals are higher and this finding humiliates him.
