Paraphrase
If I compare you to a summers day, I would say that you are more beautiful and lovely than it.
Sometimes the sun is not as bright as it always is and sometimes beautiful things are not always beautiful
Death will never kill you and you will never become ugly
Because as long as people read this they will know how beautiful you are
Connotation:
Buds of May – Delicate flower – Subject
Untrimm’d – Things are allowed to go wild and get ugly (like a hedge)
Attitude: Subject = Woman + She is beautiful = We think she is beautiful
Theme Through Shakespeare’s 18th Sonnet, readers learn how a woman’s beauty can last forever if it is captured in words.
