An examination of the theme of longing and love in Shakespeare's Sonnet 27.
1,425 words (approx. 5.7 pages) | 1 source | MLA | 2002 United States


Paper Summary:

This paper discusses how Shakespeare's sonnet describes the speaker's inability to rest, even in bed, because of the absence of his beloved and his mind's insistence on keeping him awake thinking of her. It shows how the poem is really about an insomniac whose restless mind is plagued by thoughts of a person he desires but cannot possess.

From the Paper:

"There is no sign that the speaker's love is returned and no catalogue of remembered pleasure that would indicate that it had ever been returned. The longing that drives the speaker has the quality of something unavoidable and beyond his control, much more of a burden than a pleasure. The night's longing is equated, for example, with the work that the speaker performs during the day. There is no sign of any pleasure in this work. "
