The two poems I will be comparing and secernate in this essay are two of William Shakespeares most illustrious sonnets. Sonnets numbered 18, Shall I equality thee... and 116, Let me not. Both of these poems deal with the subject of honor but each poem deals with its subject matter in a slightly different manner. Each also has a different audience and inclination. In the case of Shall I compare thee... the audience is meant to be the person Shakespeare is writing the sonnet some. Its purpose is to tell the person its written active how the speaker feels about them. In the case of Let me not the audience is anyone who wishes to read it. Its purpose is to uncover what love should be like. This makes Shall I compare thee... much more personal and realistic as a poem about love.
Shall I compare thee... seems to deal more with the idea of a rooter rather than the idea of a relationship, as Let me not does. Shall I compare thee... deals with the idea of a arrant(a) lover and the fading beauty of both women and the seasons. Let me not is about ideal love in its most hone and purest form.
In Shall I compare thee... Shakespeare describes a lover more temperate than a summers day.
Shakespeare asserts the opinion that the beauty of summer is nothing compared to this stainless human being. In the poem Shakespeare deals with the fading beauty of this perfect human being and lover.

The perfect lovers beauty will not fade because she has been immortalised in a sonnet. So long live this, (sonnet) and this gives life to thee. In Let me not...
