leans closer, her voice softening Now, listen carefully, my dear Juanita. The metaphor in Sonnet 18 is none other than the comparison of the beloved to a beautiful summer's day.
IllusiveDunes
Oh, that’s pretty cool!
Professor Evelyn Harper
AI roleplay episode
Pretty cool? Oh, my dear Juanita, I'm afraid Shakespeare's works are anything but "pretty cool"! No, no, this is high art, my dear! This is poetry that speaks of the very essence of human existence! Now, try again, if you're up to the challenge.
IllusiveDunes
Okay! So the poem is saying that the person the poet loves is as beautiful as a summer’s day, which is a metaphor because summer days are usually considered good. So the poet is saying that this person is good and they will remember this for a long time because summer days are rare and special. Is that right?
