- This line is the opening to the Sonnet. This line means marriage shouldn't be impeded on, and if two people are supposed to be together, they should be. It is important because this whole Sonnet is about how true love never loses. It builds the theme by throwing in a metaphor describing the love.
- Let me not to the marriage of true minds;
- It is the star to every wand'ring bark;
- In this line Shakespeare is using a metaphor of comparing the stars to a wandering bark. A bark is a sailing ship, which is being guided by a star, which is represented by the love being, the light that is guiding the ship which is the star.
- Poetic Device: PersonificationIn the Sonnet, towards the end, Shakespeare says "Marriage of true minds." This would be Personification because marriage does not have a mind originally so when Shakespeare says this it adds this feeling that marriage is a bond between two "true minds." The love between these two is unbreakable. The personification in the sonnet adds a very deep meaning, and you have to use clues from the Sonnet and what we already know about Shakespeare and how he write to infer the meaning of the personification, but it adds an element where love/marriage is given a "true mind" to decide whether this is right. The purpose is to draw the reader in and make them want to read more.
- The sonnet before the turn is establishing the love the person has for the other. It is a Shakespearean sonnet so we know that the turn is in line 9. The turn is "Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks." The Turn in the sonnet means that time cannot change love, but over time beauty fades, but that love doesn't. Which is very on-brand for Shakespeare. After the turn, Shakespeare is saying what if what he said wasn't true, and that no one has experienced the type of love he has described.
- Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks;
- In this line Shakespeare is saying that time has no effect on love, and it bears the hours and the weeks that it goes through.
- Ive loved you for 45 years honey
- And ill love you for 45 more. We've been through everything together honey.
- The theme of the poem, from what I have been able to gather, is love is true, love is unstoppable and can withstand anything. In this line its a follow up to the last slide, love can withstand anything, even to the roughest moments it will withstand.
- But it bears it out even to the edge of doom.
