Answer 1

In Sonnet 130, Shakespeare writes, “If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head. I have seen roses damasked, red and white, but no such roses see I in her cheeks.” This quote illustrates how expressive and slightly exaggerated some of Shakespeare's writing can be. He uses vivid imagery to describe his lover in a unique way, challenging the typical ideas of beauty found in other sonnets of his time. By emphasizing these comparisons, Shakespeare effectively conveys his point that true love doesn’t rely on conventional beauty. Instead, he focuses on the reality of his beloved and the depth of his feelings, which makes his writing powerful and relatable.
