Critical Analysis of Sonnet 18:This sonnet certainly speaks of the poet’s beloved, but more than that it speaks of his own poetry. He praises the beauty of his beloved but does so in the service of his poetic craft. He knows that the individual human body cannot survive the passage of time and that it will eventually fade away. As a result of the process of aging, this body will die and decay, for man is mortal. It is said that to be born is to die. Thus no man can literally escape death. However, the death of a single man does not spellthe death of the species. Man as a species will live on. And because of that, man’s art will also live on. The poet knows that there is only one way to become immortal, and that is through the creation of timeless art. He is confident that his poetry willbe read and held in high esteem for many generations to come. That is why the people of whom he speaks in his poetry will also live on. In this way, future readers of his poetry will get to know that there was once a beautiful woman who was the poet’s muse and inspiration. Hence her beauty may not literally survive, but the praise of that beauty in the poet’s words can never fade away entirely.Annotation of Sonnet 18:Please note:N= noun, V=verb, Adj=Adjective, Adv=Adverb, P=Preposition, Pr=PronounThee (Pr):An older form of the word “you”Thou (Pr):An older form of the word “you”Art (V):An older form of the word “are”Temperate (Adj):Relating to or denoting a region or climate characterized by mild temperaturesRough (Adj):(Of weather or the sea)wild and StormyBuds (N):Plural form of the word “bud”, that is, a compact knob-like growth on a plant which develops into a leaf, flower, or shoots
