Sonnet 116 - Shakespeare

Explore:

'Or bends with the remover to remove.

O no, it is an ever fixed marke' x3

Back

•'bends' doesn't yield to external influence - incorruptible relationship

•'remover to remove' polyptoton - (repetition of a word in a different case or inflection) reiterates the constancy of their relationship + additional syllable in 'remover' than 'remove'

•'O no' it a much more emotive interjection than the previous authority presented. Does the theatrical nature of the poem take away from the sincerity?
