William Shakespeare Poems - Beautiful Love Poetry
- last year
This video aims to bring sonnets: 18, 29, 116, and 130, of William Shakespeare, to life. William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet, and actor who is widely regarded as one of the greatest writers in the English language and one of the most important figures in world literature. He was born in 1564 and died in 1616.
Sonnet 18 is one of the most famous and beloved sonnets written by William Shakespeare. Throughout the sonnet, Shakespeare uses vivid imagery to convey the beauty of the person he is addressing. He compares them to a "summer's day," but then goes on to explain why they are actually more beautiful and desirable than anything found in nature.
Sonnet 29 by William Shakespeare is one of the most well-known sonnets of the 154 that he wrote. The speaker begins by expressing his sadness and despair, feeling alone and outcast from society. Finally, in the couplet, the speaker acknowledges that the love he shares with his beloved is enough to make him feel as though he is "wealthy" and "contented." He recognizes that his love is a gift from heaven, and he feels blessed to have it. In this way, the sonnet ends on a hopeful note, with the speaker finding solace in the love he shares with another person.
Sonnet 116 by William Shakespeare is a classic love sonnet that presents the idea of true love as an unchanging force that is not swayed by external circumstances. Shakespeare argues that true love is not subject to the whims of time or circumstance, and that it persists even in the face of adversity.
Sonnet 130 by William Shakespeare is a poem that subverts traditional love poetry by rejecting exaggerated comparisons and clichéd metaphors in favor of a more realistic and honest portrayal of his mistress. Instead of praising her with over-the-top comparisons to natural beauty or otherworldly beings, Shakespeare describes her with human qualities, acknowledging her imperfections and flaws.
The poem in this video is narrated by Shane Morris (an award-winning voice actor). We took care to edit the audio as perfectly as we can.
We believe that there is wisdom in these historic texts. We are very hesitant in creating video's with different moving backgrounds because we believe it might contradict the wisdom that is displayed in the text. We hope you appreciate the effort!
