Sonnet 18 by william shakespeare

shall i compare thee to a summer’s day?
thou art more lovely and more temperate.
rough winds do shake the darling buds of may,
and summer’s lease hath all too short a date.
5sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
and often is his gold complexion dimmed;
and every fair from fair sometime declines,
by chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimmed;
but thy eternal summer shall not fade,
10 nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st,
nor shall death brag thou wand’rest in his shade,
when in eternal lines to time thou grow’st.
so long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
so long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

"and i will do it without fear or doubt, to live an unstained wife to my sweet love". juliet faces her fears and trusts in god and friar lawrence. she is forced to use trickery in order to stay true to dear romeo. this showed remarkable courage. before she takes the potion she uses a soliloquy that confronts all her fears. she speaks in blank verse showing the seriousness of the situation. when juliet awakes to see a lifeless romeo lying beside her, juliet's maturity and loyalty takes over and she takes the decision to choose eternity over the present. the quotation "then i'll be brief. o happy dagger! this is my sheath; there rust, and let me die." shows the quickness and determination of juliet's death. during the period of a few days juliet matures into a committed and reliable woman and wife, capable of taking decisions without the of others. shakespeare shows this by clearly stating the different stages that happen and by making everything occur in a short period of time.part cwrite a 300-word essay arguing the thesis of your analysis.
