Imagine you are the mistress in this sonnet and you want to respond to the speaker. What tone would you take with the speaker? Now write a response to the speaker. Make sure you pick a specific tone and use language in your response that makes your tone very clear.

This question is about "My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun" by William Shakespeare.

Answer and Explanation:

The speaker presents a fun and sincere tone in the sonnet.

The response to the speaker should also follow that tone.

The sonnet response can be read below. She was raised from the point of view of the mistress.

My lord does not give me exaggerated praise

You don't see me as a goddess,

Nor does it compare to the beauty of nature.

In fact my lord's sincerity can cry many listeners,

But for me it is convenient.

Because of this true vision that he has of me

I am not obliged to reach unrealistic standards

I can be myself and be comfortable in his presence

This is the greatest example of romance that anyone can achieve.

I also don't see him as a man full of perfection

And I believe that its beauty cannot be compared to that of any Adonis

Nor is his education as refined as that of the noble princes

But I see him as an equal

And that is what unites us more than anything.
