Paper Summary:
This paper divides Shakespeare's sonnets into two groups: 1 - 126 are addressed to a young man, and 127 - 152 are addressed to a dark lady.
The paper describes how an analysis of the sonnets show his feelings towards these two people. The writer provides examples from several sonnets in order to illustrate the different relationship Shakespeare appears to have with the young man and the dark lady. Another issue discussed in this paper, is Shakespeare's frequent use of time as an enemy.
From the Paper:
"Shakespeare's sonnets can be divided into two parts. The first 126 are addressed to a young man, while from 127 to 152 are addressed to a dark lady. While Shakespeare does not express who these two people are or his relationship with them, an analysis of the sonnets does show his feelings towards the two people. Shakespeare appears to genuinely love and care for the young man. In contrast, he loves the dark lady but in a lustful way, which at the same times makes him despise her."
