SONNET 116

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

- Love is in the air

- Love gives color to our life. It makes our life wonderful


2.List several things that love is according to Sonnet 116.
- Love is the guiding north star to every lost ship
-Love is not at the mercy of Time, though physical beauty
- Love does not alter with hours and weeks,But, rather, it endures until the last day of life.


B. Interpreting
1.What is the measuring of the image star in lines 7-8? How does this image apply to love?
Love is the guiding north star to every lost ship,Whose value cannot be calculated, although its altitude can be measured.


C. Extending
Do you agree or disagree with the speaker's interpretation of love? Why or why not?
Agree. Because the speaker tells how powerful love is. That love is like a dictionary that gives meaning to our life. Without love, I can see what will happen. There's war everywhere, many people are fighting and no one can be happy. Love makes us to feel happy and comfortable, isn't it? So let's show our love to each one of us. <3
