Текст на Статията
- "Than you shall hear the surly sullen bell/Give warning to the world that I am fled" (Lines 2-3)
- This line continues the sentence from line one, and essentially means that the writer does not want his loved one to mourn for a long time. The bell would likely be rung at the funeral of a dead person, and Shakespeare asks that he is not mourned longer than that.
- Shakespeare is asking to be forgotten. He does not want his loved ones to be sad when he is gone, and he recommends that if they will be sad, that they should just forget him instead. He is asking that they do not mourn for him simply because he loves them so much that he does not want them to be sad.
- "That I in your sweet thoughts would be forgot,If thinking on me then should make you woe" (Lines 7-8)
- "Than you shall hear the surly sullen bellGive warning to the world that I am fled" (Lines 2-3)
- Shakespeare uses personification to portray the bell as sad about his death. A bell cannot be "surly" or "sullen" and cannot give anyone warning of anything without being rung by someone. Portraying the bell as sad foreshadows the reaction of Shakespeare's loved ones.
