Shakespeare's Sonnet 116!

“Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark 
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks 
Within his bending sickle's compass come: 
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, 
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
   If this be error and upon me proved,
   I never writ, nor no man ever loved.





















A. Recalling
1.“Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
“Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks”
“But bears it out even to the edge of doom”
“Love is not love

Which alters when it alteration finds”
2. “That looks on tempests and is never shaken”
“It is the star to every wandering bark”
“Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken”
B. Interpreting
What is the measuring of the image star in lines 7-8? How does this image apply to love?

-Love cannot be measure but this will bring people a wonderful life.

C. Extending
Do you agree or disagree with the speaker's interpretation of love? Why or why not?

I agree with speaker’s interpretation of love because love can be anything it can bring us happiness or loneliness because it may cause anything.
