Reading Journal Entry #20

[wintersplash]

Okay, now let's talk about "Sonnet 130", another sonnet by William Shakespeare. I absolutely love this poem!!! I strays from the conventional love poem and I love it! And i absolutely love the ending. I love how the persona describes his mistress so negatively yet, in the end it actually meant something really beautiful. At first, i thought the persona was making fun of his mistress, yet in the end, he actually loved her very much to say that he doesn't have to exaggerate to let people feel how much he loves his mistress. It's really one of the sweetest love poems i've read.
