More than seven thousand languages ​​are spoken on Earth, but many of them died out in ancient times, but others developed and survived. Each person speaks in their language and each person gets information by talking with someone or reading it in the book. People said what they felt or saw. Much of what people know about love is encoded through spoken language or poems. This is why people see “love” in different ways. Some people think that love is something bad, that it is sickness and that it will "hurt you", but others may think that love is one of the most beautiful things in the world . “It makes you happy and you feel freedom.” People can love their family, friends and other people. So my research question is how did William Shakespeare and Pablo Neruda represent “love” in their poems Sonnet XVII and Sonnet 147? Both lived in different times, so they will have different ideas about the feeling of love. Pablo Neruda is a Spanish poet who lived in the 19th century. I chose his poem One Hundred Sonnets of Love: XVII. “I do not love you as if you were a salt rose, a topaz, Or an arrow of carnations that spread fire: I love you as we love certain obscure things, in secret, between the shadow and the 'soul. " In this line, we can understand how Neruda represented his "love". The author does not tell the readers who the speaker is talking to - his wife, or his girlfriend, or his boyfriend, or his illicit lover. But I think he can write this poem to his wife. The ways he uses to describe his feelings will attract the reader's attention. He or she will be interested in what comes later. The author opens the love sonnet with the speaker speaking to his lover, another word for a lover. "My love is like a fever, always wanting this...... middle of paper ...... different ways. For Pablo Neruda, love must come from the heart. Each stanza of the poem represents an individual scene from a relationship where loving emotions take their place in the heart. The theme is basically about telling people what true love is. But for William Shakespeare, love is the disease that can turn into death. There is no cure for it, and he became frantically mad and increasingly agitated. When the hero falls in love, his thoughts and words are like those of a madman. At first he thought he could be cured but the doctor left the hero because he didn't follow the instructions. For the Shakespearean hero, the “dark lady” was beautiful and radiant, but she was in reality “as black as hell and as dark as night.” Both poets used literary devices to describe their feelings, their emotions, and they also used words that gave the mood to the poems..
