Fill in the blanks with the words: conventional / parody / embrace / compare/ mocking / illustrate / metaphorsSonnet 130 is clearly a ______________ of the ______________ love sonnet, made popular by Petrarch and, in particular, made popular in England by Sidney's epic poem
Astrophel
and Stella
. If you compare it
to Sonnet 130, you will see exactly what Shakespeare is ____________ In Sonnet 130, there is no use of grandiose metaphor or allusion; he does not ______________ his love to Venus, there is no evocation to Morpheus... The ordinary beauty and humanity of his lover are important to Shakespeare in this sonnet. Usually, the features of the poet's lover are more beautiful than the finest pearls, diamonds, rubies, and silk. In Sonnet 130, the references to such objects of perfection are there to ________________ that his lover is not as beautiful -- a total rejection of Petrarch form and content. The first twelve lines of the sonnet amount to a point-by-point rejection of many of the standard ________________ and similes of English and European love poetry: His mistress’s cheeks are not like roses; her breath is not like perfume; her speech is not like music…But Shakespeare ends the sonnet by proclaiming his love for his mistress despite her lack of beauty, so he does finally ___________the fundamental theme in Petrarch's sonnets: total and consuming love.

A reader’s reaction
Roz Chast wrote a modern I.M. version of Romeo and Juliet. In her version everything is shortened, and she uses
new age slang
. I think she is trying to show how
communication has changed drastically because of technology
. The characters say almost nothing. Their feelings of love and the emotional drama that comes from the real story is taken away in the modern version. They are just two teenagers talking of their day. I don't feel the love or emotion that I felt when reading the real version of this story. I think the author is showing that technology has taken away the feeling that we have when communicating. Since they are not actually talking face to face emotions can be misinterpreted and not understood. How can you tell someone that you love them through a couple minute I.M.?Posted by D Rasegan at
