Beauty's impermanence
The speaker encourages the young man to marry and have children in the first division. Because, according to the author, it is the only way to pass on his beauty to future generations. This is something that should be done. The young man, however, rejects it. The author then attempts to immortalize this beauty through poetry. Sonnet 18 and Sonnet 55 are two of the most well-known instances.
Desire leads to immoral behavior, as well as a disregard for responsibility and commitment. This notion is supported by the destinies of the characters in the sonnets. The young man is alone as a result of his immoral conduct. The Dark Lady had relations with various men after betraying her husband. The speaker has had bad luck in two of his relationships, and as a result, he becomes pessimistic. The author is conveying that desire should constantly be regulated by the mind, or it will result in unpleasant consequences.
Time vs. Art
Time is portrayed as an enemy of love in the sonnets because it fades beauty, ages people and ends life. In this case, the speaker asserts that his verse will counteract time's ravages. Art has dominated over time: the young man remains young in Shakespeare's sonnets.
The importance of sight
In Sonnet 24, the speaker's eye transforms into a pen or paintbrush in order to record and stamp the young man's beauty on the speaker's heart. It's also been said that loving eyes can distort vision, causing people to misperceive reality. The reader's perspective is just as significant as the speaker's. To assist readers envision vividly while reading, the author employs vivid visual descriptions. He compares the young man's attractiveness to the splendor of the rising sun, while the picture of clouds hiding the sun serves as a metaphor for the young man's lack of faith.
Symbols
Plants and flowers
Bare trees are depicted in sonnets as a representation of the aging process, whereas thick, lush greenery represents youth. Shakespeare uses flowers and weeds to juxtapose beauty with ugly.
The author utilizes stars to represent destiny. Shakespeare claims to have more faith in his own eyes than in fate. However, with the guidance of God, the heavenly spheres decided fate. As a result, the speaker recognizes in Sonnet 25 that, while he is lucky in love, he is unlucky in the stars. That is a failure.
