Comment 1 of 1, added on October 13th, 2005 at 6:43 PM.

in this sonnet Skakespear refers to a frind and a lover. In the sonnet genarly Shkespear refers to him self as old to his a main frind as a lovely boy or adviced to mary. This frind niglict(better class)him. Sonnet 34 is ceartanly adressed to this frind and so is sonnet 42. There also a woman, the poet lover, who is unfaithfull She is usualy refer to as the dark lady. Most cretics belive that she was a black woman who is not attractive or faithfull.
In sonnet 42, it is clear that the young man has stolen the poet's girl. The poem shows his suffring as a point convince excuses and explanations of what has happend. He speaks about the idea of loss, which are spoken about in the other sonnet also. He speake about the sycological. In the first quarter, he complains about the tryle of his frind and lover.
For 12 lines , he tries to find excuses for his frind In the final capital, he moves from the sycological to a mid phisical. in final two lines his feeling is not truoth , it is not his real imotion(irony). His language is simple.
