Summary “Sonnet 130” is a Shakespearean sonnet that develops an argument through three quatrains. The conclusion to
the argument is in the rhyming couplet at the end. Shakespeare parodies the sonnet conventions of his time: instead of
idealising his mistress, he describes her in sincere terms. Ultimately, though, he proclaims a devoted love for her. In this
sonnet, Shakespeare mocks metaphorical clichés by telling the truth about the appearance of his mistress. The typical
English rose would not have a “dun” complexion or have “wires” for hair. Shakespeare uses the sonnet’s rigid rhythm and
rhyme structure to build to his conclusion. The final couplet insists that real love does not need false tributes or conceits and
any woman can be beautiful. Gr-11--ANTHOLOGY-2020.
