Shakespear
In William Shakespeare's poem "When My Love Swears That She Is Made of Truth", the speaker uses several key lines and words that particularly enhance the meaning and images of the poem. The following lines illustrate this: I do believe her, though I know she lies, ................................................. I credit her false-speaking tongue; .................................................
Even though the speaker knows that the girl is saying false things, he admires her good intentions. The second line "I credit her false-speaking tongue;" is another significant line in this poem. He knows that there will never be anything more to the relationship than a friendship. This relates to third line "and in our faults by lies we flattered be. In line number two, "I do believe her, though I know she lies", at first this line seems to be contradicting. 14) These three lines are key to understanding and connecting with the poem. " This line says that even though the speaker knows that the girl is giving him false compliments he is still glad to hear them. He realizes that she is just being respectful. These three lines are all effective in helping us understanding the speaker's intent with the poem and aid us in making connections with it. However, what the speaker is getting at is that he believes that she loves him (in father/daughter relationship) but knows she is lying when she claims that he is attractive.
