Sonnet+29

Period 3 A. Williams L. You

**Sonnnet 29 by Williams Shakespeare and then i did turd on the lawn out their**

The sonnet begins with the speaker describing moments of great sadness //**"outcast state"**// //**"I am alone beweep my outcast state"**// Seclustion from society, his feelings of aloneness as a result of his shortcomings in his finicials goals. Unfavorable standing in society or a lack of financial success in the playwriting field.

//**"And trouble deaf heavens with my bootless cries"**// He feels that his prayers are not being heard and listended to.

//**"Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,"**// He contuniues to wish that he was more gifted in life. He is enviuos of what others have achieved and he seeks a more attractive self, more friends and greater artistic skills.

Then there is a a change in mood in the sonnet. It becomes more up beat. This is caused by him remembering a love he onced felt for someone. He compares it to //**"the lark at break of day arising"**// as well as //**" hymns at heaven's gate"**.// The thought of this love enough to lift him from his depression and value his position in life more than a kings >
 * The theme of this sonnet is the curative power of love for the man who wallow in miserably destructive self-disdain.
 * The "turn" at the beginning of the third [|quatrain] occurs when the poet by chance ("haply") happens to think upon the [|young man] to whom the poem is addressed, which makes him assume a more optimistic view of his own life. The speaker compares such a change in mood to a lark rising from the early morning darkness at sunrise, singing //**"hymns at heaven's gate."**// The couplet is an emotional declaration that remembrance of his friend's love is enough for him to value his position in life more than a king's.
