From this sonnet we have learned about speaker’s love experience and the way he compares his
lover with unbeautiful things. It has changed our view of love because in the first time that we read
it makes us funny with the way he compared his love. But when we read again and again it makes us
realize that he just want to make his lover to be special and not familiar with other girls. It’s really
romantic and touching our heart and makes us impressed with his written.

We chose this sonnet because it interested us and it questioned us why he compared his lover to
unbeautiful things. It’s kind of weird that someone expressed his feelings to his lover in that way.
So we need to know why he did that and after we analyzed it, we found that is not that weird but
it was actually beautiful love.
