Unconditional love-William Shakespeare
"I Grant I never saw a goddess go (walk)" (Line ), In these lines from William Shakespeare's "Sonnet 130" and Christopher Marlowe's "ThePassionate Shepherd To His Love", the themes of unconditional love, materialtreasures, and vivid imagery are all used throughoutthe poems through different points of view, toThe theme of unconditional love is expressed throughthe two poems. The poet Christopher Marlowe in the poem"The Passionate Shepherd to His Love" displays his affectionfor his love by telling her that he will give her anything in theworld if she would just be with him, and love him. "And ifthese pleasures may thee move, come live with me, and bemy love" (Lines 19-20). His words show that he is willing to doanything for her to "Live with him,and be my (his) love" (Line 24).However, the poet knows that he cannot give her theseofferings because the gifts that he is willing to give her aremerely IOU's from witch he wishes he could give her and iswritten only to show to the fullest extent how much he lovesher. Where as in "Sonnet 130", the poet William Shakespeare issincere and truthful in his writings
However, in Shakespeare's poem, thepoet expresses the same kind of love but instead usescharacteristics and physical attributes of his love ratherthan materialistic things like Marlowe did. Eventhough the two poems are similar in that they deal withunconditional love, they are expressed with differentconditions uses material treasure while the other usesphysical attributes. Shakespeare in "Sonnet 130" does not have to use materialobjects to show that his love is deep. Where as in "Sonnet 130", the poet William Shakespeare issincere and truthful in his writings about his love. These two extravagant poem themes are a combination of vividimagery, and treasures which illustrates the poets unconditional love. There aredifferences within their similarities. However, the poet knows that he cannot give her theseofferings because the gifts that he is willing to give her aremerely IOU's from witch he wishes he could give her and iswritten only to show to the fullest extent how much he lovesher. "ILove to hear her speak, yet well I know that music hath a farmore pleasing sound"(Lines 9-10), yet, I think he also gets the pointacross that his love is unconditional, same as the fellow poetMarlowe, but he used a surplus of material things to describehis emotions. "ILove to hear her speak, yet well I know that music hath a farmore pleasing sound"(Lines 9-10), yet, I think he also gets the pointacross that his love is unconditional, same as the fellow poetMarlowe, but he used a surplus of material things to describehis emotions. The poet Christopher Marlowe in the poem"The Passionate Shepherd to His Love" displays his affectionfor his love by telling her that he will give her anything in theworld if she would just be with him, and love him. Christopher Marlowe in his poem "The Passionate Shepherd tohis Love" uses tangible gifts such as " a gown made of thefinest wool"(Line 13). Eventhough the two poems are similar in that they deal withunconditional love, they are expressed with differentconditions uses material treasure while the other usesphysical attributes. Treasures are also used within both poems whether itbe treasures of physical attributes or treasures of tangiblegifts to express their love for the women in their lives. These similarities and differences within thepoems not only make the themes more illustrated, but they also help a greatdeal to show the major theme of the poet's poem. However, in Shakespeare's poem, thepoet expresses the same kind of love but instead usescharacteristics and physical attributes of his love ratherthan materialistic things like Marlowe did.
