Sonnet 116 + Notes

Sonnet 116

Intro

Let me not to the marriage of true minds

Admit impediments. Love is not love

Crisis

Which alters when it alteration finds,

Or bends with the remover to remove:

O no! It is an ever-fixèd 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;

Resolve

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.

Aim: To establish a differentiation between the three stages of a sonnet the Intro, Crisis and Resolve. These three sections of a sonnet need a clear vocal change to establish the different feelings and emotions that are being displayed within the prose. To do this I will be looking at what the sonnet is saying and then translate that into my voice. Changing the tone and pitch of each section will show the different aspects of the sections and allow the listener to understand the sonnet in a clear and concise way.

Notes:

Lawful (Marriage Vows)

Love cannot be considered true love if it changes.

True love cannot be taken away.

A beacon of hope.

No fear.

North star - A fixed point.

Helps any lost soul.

Unsure of love or the person but diving in.

Time won’t make fun of true love when beauty fades.

True love won’t change when you grow old and grey.

True love endures all untill death.

If what I say is wrong anything i’ve  written is false and on one has ever loved.
