On The Beauty of Sonnet 18
It’s obvious that sonnet 18 is so great a success that it has been spread from mouth to mouth since it was published.This poem embodies exquisite skill of Shakespear’s poetry.We can feel diversified beauty in this outstanding masterpiece，especially the beauty of rhyme scheme，images，figures of speech and theme.
Firstly，sonnet 18 of Shakespeare is different from traditional sonnet such as Italian sonnet in rhyme scheme.It consists of three quatrains and a couplet，rhymed abab cdcd efef gg.This iambic pentameter contains tuneful and vivid rhyme and proper cadence,such as the first sentence“Shall I/compare/thee to/a sum/mer’s day?”The forepart of each foot is falling and the latter is rising contrarily.Reading this rhythmical poem,we might have illusion that we were listening to music from the valley with light-hearted and cheerful mood.
Apart from the rhyme scheme,the images in this sonnet are impressive and attractive as well.Having read this sonnet,we can easily get ourselves across that it is an imaginative poem based on the image“summer”.Seeing this word,we soon come up with blooming flowers and exuberant trees in our mind.However,the summer refered in this poem is not the scorching summer as we thought for granted.Actually,it indicates his friend’s cute and hints that his friend
is so young and full of beans.Because summer is filled with vigour.All the life revives in spring and at its peak in summer.In the beginning,Shakespear compares his friend to summer,but his friend is superior in youth and beauty.“Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?Thou art more lovely and more temperate.”Then,Shakespear says “Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,And summer’s lease hath all too short a date. Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimmed.”Although some things in summer is wonderful,they still can’t stop time and nature grabbing their beauty.Then the seventh and eighth sentences say “And every fair from fair sometime declines，By chance or nature's changing course untrimmed.”The first “fair”means “beautiful person”, but the next “fair”means “beauty”.Anything that’s beautiful won’t last forever because of accident and necessity. In this sonnet,Shakespear compares the beauty and transient of summer to the elapsing of a person’s beauty and youth.Obviously,Shakespear loves his friend so much.
In this short poem,Shakespear performs the figures of speech elasticly and perfectly,which adds much fascination to the theme of this poem.All these figures of speech reflect the beauty of language.The first line“Shall I compare thee to a s‘summer’s day?”makes use of simile and rhetorical question.The similarity of
“summer”and “thee” is that they all embody the beauty.Shakespear compare his friend to the summer.Externally,this sentence is a question.But if we analysis it attentively,we’ll find it an answer as well.This rhetorical question is used ingeniously and it’s more euphemistic than declarative sentence“I shall compare thee to a summer’s day.”Besides,metaphor and personification are also adopted by Shakespear in this poem,such as the word“lease”and “date”in the fourth line“And summer's lease hath all too short a date.”Shakespear compares the “summer” to the house which is rent from the nature and will be returned some day.Actually,he also hints that youth and beauty is limited.Then Shakespear compares the “heaven”to a person and the “sun”to the eye in the fifth line “Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines.”Meanwhile,in the third line“Rough winds d o shake the darling buds of May”,he use the word “darling”to depict the “buds” in order to emphasis his admiration towards the buds.In addition,the poet also draws on hyperbole in the sentence“But thy eternal summer shall not fade.”According to the regularity,each kind of beauty will vanish,so how can the person in this poem be eternal?However,it’s undeniable that this figure of speech makes this poem more vivid.
Practically,this is a love poem,but love is not the only theme of this poem,beauty included as well.In the first six sentences,the poet
extols the hero“thee”as the embodiment of beauty and is superior to the “summer”,“buds”and “shines”because they are less “temperate”,“too short”and will be “dimmed”.Shakespear also emphasis that the beauty will elapse as soon as it appears in the seventh and eighth sentences.But in the ninth and twelfth sentences, he points out that “thy” beauty will be everlasting because “thee” are immortal in the poem.In fact,the beauty is not merely external but also the virtue,which represents wisdom and power.The poet not only speaks highly of the beauty,but also shows his compliment to love.
In this short but profound poem,Shakespear confirms the value of human.As the arbitrator of this world,the human possess rich emotion,noble intellect,endless wisdom and the ability of love.In this poem,the poet feels beauty and shows his deep love for life and art.He tells us that as long as the human exist,life will continue and art will be permanent.

英国文学源远流长，经历了长期、复杂的发展演变过程。在这个过程中，文学本体以外的各种现实的、历史的、政治的、文化的力量对文学发生着影响，文学内部遵循自身规律，历经盎格鲁-撒克逊、文艺复兴、新古典主义、浪漫主义、现实主义、现代主义等不同历史阶段。下面对英国文学的发展过程作一概述。 一、中世纪文学（约5世纪-1485） 英国最初的文学同其他国家最初的文学一样，不是书面的，而是口头的。故事与传说口头流传，并在讲述中不断得到加工、扩展，最后才有写本。公元5世纪中叶，盎格鲁、撒克逊、朱特三个日耳曼部落开始从丹麦以及现在的荷兰一带地区迁入不列颠。盎格鲁-撒克逊时代给我们留下的古英语文学作品中，最重要的一部是《贝奥武甫》（Beowulf），它被认为是英国的民族史诗。《贝奥武甫》讲述主人公贝尔武甫斩妖除魔、与火龙搏斗的故事，具有神话传奇色彩。这部作品取材于日耳曼民间传说，随盎格鲁-撒克逊人入侵传入今天的英国，现在我们所看到的诗是8世纪初由英格兰诗人写定的，当时，不列颠正处于从中世纪异教社会向以基督教文化为主导的新型社会过渡的时期。因此，《贝奥武甫》也反映了7、8世纪不列颠的生活风貌，呈现出新旧生活方式的混合，兼有氏族时期的英雄主义和封建时期的理想，体现了非基督教日耳曼文化和基督教文化两种不同的传统。 公元1066年，居住在法国北部的诺曼底人在威廉公爵率领下越过英吉利海峡，征服英格兰。诺曼底人占领英格兰后，封建等级制度得以加强和完备，法国文化占据主导地位，法语成为宫廷和上层贵族社会的语言。这一时期风行一时的文学形式是浪漫传奇，流传最广的是关于亚瑟王和圆桌骑士的故事。《高文爵士和绿衣骑士》（Sir Gawain and the Green Knight，1375-1400）以亚瑟王和他的骑士为题材，歌颂勇敢、忠贞、美德，是中古英语传奇最精美的作品之一。传奇文学专门描写高贵的骑士所经历的冒险生活和浪漫爱情，是英国封建社会发展到成熟阶段一种社会理想的体现。 14世纪以后，英国资本主义工商业发展较快，市民阶级兴起，英语逐渐恢复了它的声誉，社会各阶层普遍使用英语，为优秀英语文学作品的产生提供了条件。杰弗利·乔叟（Geoffrey Chaucer， 1343-1400）的出现标志着以本土文学为主流的英国书面文学历史的开始。《坎特伯雷故事》（The Canterbury Tales）以一群香客从伦敦出发去坎特伯雷朝圣为线索，通过对香客的生动描绘和他们沿途讲述的故事，勾勒出一幅中世纪英国社会千姿百态生活风貌的图画。乔叟首创英雄诗行，即五步抑扬格双韵体，对英诗韵律作出了很大贡献，被誉为"英国诗歌之父".乔叟的文笔精练优美，流畅自然，他的创作实践将英语提升到一个较高的文学水平，推动了英语作为英国统一的民族语言的进程。 二、文艺复兴时期文学（15世纪后期-17世纪初） 相对于欧洲其他国家来说，英国的文艺复兴起始较晚，通常认为是在15世纪末。文艺复兴时期形成的思想体系被称为人文主义，它主张以人为本，反对中世纪以神为中心的世界观，提倡积极进取、享受现世欢乐的生活理想。托马斯·莫尔（Thomas More， 1478-1535）是英国最主要的早期人文主义者，他的《乌托邦》（Utopia）批评了当时的英国和欧洲社会，设计了一个社会平等、财产公有、人们和谐相处的理想国。Utopia现已成为空想主义的代名词，但乌托邦是作者对当时社会状况进行严肃思考的结果。《乌托邦》开创了英国哲理幻想小说传统的先河，这一传统从培根的《新大西岛》（The New Atlantis）、斯威夫特的《格列佛游记》（Gulliver's Travels）、勃特勒的《埃瑞璜》（Erewhon）一直延续到20世纪

Key words: Hamlet ; analysis of the work; comments on the figures 1. The background and influence of Hamlet In the early 17th century, Shakespeare wrote a number of his best known tragedies. Many critics believe that Shakespeare's greatest tragedies represent the peak of his art. The titular hero of one of Shakespeare's most famous tragedies, Hamlet, has probably been discussed more than any other Shakespearean character, especially for his famous soliloquy which begins "To be or not to be; that is the question". Hamlet was based on the legend of Amleth, preserved by 13th-century chronicler Saxo Grammaticus in his Gesta Danorum as subsequently retold by 16th-century scholar Fran?ois de Belleforest. The play vividly portrays both true and feigned madness –from overwhelming grief to seething rage – and explores themes of treachery, revenge, incest, and moral corruption. 2. The Main Ideas of Hamlet The story is set on the eve of Elsinore. Denmark court in the Middle Ages. Hamlet, the prince of the Denmark, is the leading role. The king of Denmark dies, his brother Claudius becomes the
Sonnet 18 William Shakespeare S hall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer’s lease hath all too short a date: Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And of ten is his gold complexion dimm’d; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance, or n ature’s changing course untrimm’d; But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st; N or shall Death brag thou wander’st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st: So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this and this gives life to thee Selected Metaphysical poems by John Donne I. THE FLEA Mark but this flea, and mark in this, How little that which thou deniest me is ; It suck'd me first, and now sucks thee, And in this flea our two bloods mingled be. Thou know'st that this cannot be said A sin, nor shame, nor loss of maidenhead; Yet this enjoys before it woo, And pamper'd swells with one blood made of two ; And this, alas ! is more than we would do. O stay, three lives in one flea spare, Where we almost, yea, more than married are. This flea is you and I, and this Our marriage bed, and marriage temple is. Though parents grudge, and you, we're met, And cloister'd in these living walls of jet. Though use make you apt to kill me, Let not to that self-murder added be, And sacrilege, three sins in killing three.
Hamlet is the first work of literature to look squarely at the stupidity, falsity and sham of everyday life, without laughing and without easy answers. In a world where things are not as they seem, Hamlet…s genuineness, thoughtfulness, and sincerity make him special. Hamlet is no saint. But unlike most of the other characters (and most people today), Hamlet chooses not to compromise with evil. Dying, Hamlet reaffirms the tragic dignity of a basically decent person in a bad world Hamlet is the first work of literature to show an ordinary person looking at the futility and wrongs in life, asking the toughest questions and coming up with honest semi-answers like most people do today. Unlike so much of popular culture today, "Hamlet" leaves us with the message that life is indeed worth living, even by imperfect people in an imperfect world. 犹豫scholars have debated for centuries about Hamlet's hesitation in killing his uncle. Some see it as a plot device to prolong the action, and others see it as the result of pressure exerted by the complex philosophical and ethical issues that surround cold-blooded murder, calculated revenge and thwarted desire. More recently, psychoanalytic critics have examined Hamlet's unconscious desires (Freud concludes that Hamlet has an "Oedipal desire for his mother and the subsequent guilt [is] preventing him from murdering the man [Claudius] who has done what he unconsciously wanted to do". Robinson Crusoe is a grand hero in westerners? eyes. He survived in the deserted island and lived a meaningful life. He almost has everything needed for becoming a successful man, such as his excellent creativity, great working capacity, courage, and persistence in overcoming obstacles. But he has shortcomings, too. Sometimes he was irresolute; he was not confident; he was fetishistic, although his belief had done him much good. He serves somehow as a lighthouse for the ambitious people. It?s also instructive for average people. Robinson was the representative of the bourgeois of the 18th C. It was the time when bourgeois grew stronger and stronger. The author Defoe paid a tribute to bourgeois by creating such a rational, powerful, clever, and successful man. 【Themes of Robinson Crusoe】 1. The ambivalence of mastery In short, while Crusoe seems praiseworthy in mastering his fate by overcoming his obstacles, and controlling his environment, the praiseworthiness of his mastery over his fellow human Friday is more doubtful. Defoe explores the link between the two in his depiction of the colonial mind. 2. The necessity of Repentance Crusoe?s experiences constitute not simply an adventure story in which thrilling things happen, but also a moral tale illustrating the right and wrong ways to live one?s life. Crusoe?s story instruct s others in God?s wisdom, and one vital part of this wisdom is the importance of repenting one?s sins. 3. The Importance of Self-Awareness Crusoe?s arrival on the island does not make him revert to a brute existence and he remains conscious of himself at all times. His island existence actually deepens his self-awareness as he withdraws from the external society and turns inward. The idea that the individual must keep a careful reckoning of the state of his own soul is a key point in the Presbyterian doctrine that the aothor took seriously all his life. ·Jane Eyre Charlotte Bronte The protagonist and title character, orphaned as a baby. She is a plain-featured, small and reserved but talented, sympathetic, hard-working, honest and passionate girl. Skilled at studying, drawing, and teaching, she works as a governess at Thornfield Hall and falls in love with her wealthy employer, Edward Rochester. But her strong sense of conscience does not permit her to become his mistress, and she does not return to him until his insane wife is dead and she herself has come into an inheritance. 【Themes of Jane Eyre】 1. Gender relations A particularly important theme in the novel is patriarchalism and Jane…s efforts to assert her own identity within male-dominated society. Among the three of the main male characters,
