Sonnet 29 Essay, Research Paper

Despite popular belief, William Shakespeare was considered a great poet before a

great playwright. He accomplished writing at least 154 sonnets and other poems

of love. In this paper, I will analyze one of his greatest sonnets. One of the

most famous of his sonnets is number XXIX. This sonnet is one long sentence, but

it still follows the usual Shakespearean pattern of three quatrains (four line

sections) and a couplet. It also follows the traditional rhyme scheme for

Shakespearian sonnets: ababcdcdefefgg. The first quatrain tells how the narrator

is feeling. From reading these four lines, you sense his loneliness and sense of

abandonment by fate, G-d, love, and other men. I believe the key line in this

quatrain is line 3 (When, in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes,). Here I feel

Shakespeare is saying that this person who is very depressed, is crying out for

help to others, but he is such an outcast that not even "deaf heaven,"

meaning God and the angels of heaven or listening to his cries. The second

quatrain starts off with a line that shows the narrator wishes to be more

optimistic. He realizes that in order to achieve his goals, he must believe in

himself first and stop being so depressed. The second half of the quatrain shows

he is envious of other men?s possessions and riches when he says, ?Desiring

this man’s art and that man’s scope, With what I most enjoy contented least.?

Moving into the third quatrain, you see that the speaker begins to reflect on

himself and starts to compare himself with his friends. You know this when

?Haply I think on thee, and then my state,? is said. Just as you start to

think the speaker is going back into a state of self-pity, you realize the

speaker?s inspired sprits are rising like ?the lark at break of day?.

Sonnet XXIX ends with a couplet that has an uplifting message. One the speaker

remembers the love of his friend and what great things he has, it makes him

happy with his life. So happy he wouldn?t even consider swapping his place

with a king.
