Hi, I'm doing some questions about comparing and contrasting sonnet 130 and sonnet 18. Could you help me with this one question I would appreciate it. Thanks

The diction of this peom is much harsher than that of the previous poem. Why might that be and how does it affect the poem?

Read the whole article, including the 2nd paragraph, carefully; this may tell you some reasons why 18 and 130 are so different. Also check out all the External Links at the bottom of this webpage.
