Sonnet 116

The speaker gives us his understanding and views on love in this sonnet. I like this sonnet because he is saying that love is always there. It overcomes obstacles and is not shaken when there is a disturbance. The speaker portrays love as something beautiful that is never altered through thick and thin. He also says that if he is proved wrong, then he, nor any other man, has ever loved. Again, the speaker personifies time and love in the line “Love’s not Time’s fool”. I also like when he compares love to the star. It is like the star that you can follow when you are lost and need direction. That line is really lovely and a good, creative comparison.
