The Effects of the Writing in Sonnet 63 by William Shakespeare

The expression of tone and imagery within the poem display the main

techniques of concern and method from the speakers' point of view,

within sonnet 63 and various other sonnets from the collection. The

extent with which the speakers' concerns are expressed is due to how

much enthusiasm is applied within the poem. This includes repetition,

rhyme, punctuation and moreover rhythm. These ways gives us the

insight to judge how much we believe whether the sonnet collections'

opinions are valid to either the Young mans views or rather the

speakers'. To further weight this argument, a close analysis can be

done by comparing and contrasting to other sonnets.

A significant method used by the speaker, within sonnet 63 is by

preserving the Young Man within the poem, as it creates the effect of

the speaker believing that this idea is possible. The idea is

identified by the line, "they shall live, and in them, still green".

The idea of the Young Man living forever, within the poem, creates an

extremely powerful image as it shows the idea of immortality. This

image gives a real sense as to what the speakers' views are, as he

believes that the young man will literally be immortalised through his

words. The method used shows how powerful the idea is, as, we are

still learning about the intensity of the Young Mans' beauty.

Therefore, it clearly shows just how strongly the views about this

idea were, as it has given the Young Man immortality.

This point is an important part of the speakers' views as this is not

the first time we hear of immortality, in Sonnet 19, contains exactly

...al method or concern that the speaker

or Shakespeare expresses. It can be clearly shown that methods such as

imagery, structure, references to time and specific words suggest how

the speakers' concerns are expressed. Although there is no correct way

to decide what exactly the speaker wanted us to understand from this

sonnet I believe time was his main concern. I feel this for several

reasons, firstly, time is obviously destroying everyone and is a very

destructive force, most importantly time is destroying the Young Man

and this is Shakespeare's source of wealth. If the Young Man is

destroyed then Shakespeare will have no wealth or a source of income.

This, I feel is his main concern. Although he may have some concern

for his beauty, his main concern, I feel is for himself and that

without the Young Man he has nothing.
