In one sonnet in particular, Shall I compare thee to a summers day? Shakespeare uses lots of imagery to describe the ways in which a summers day is an inadequate comparison with his beloved

"In conclusion, it seems that throughout the sonnet Shakespeare uses imagery in every way to show how he loves his girlfriend. He continuously says how the summer is inadequate and how his lover is perfect and I don't think that anything could change that. He writes as if he is truly in love and that he doesn't want this period to ever end, he is in love."

Comparison of Shall I compare thee? and My mistress eyes are nothing like the sun

"sonnets may be, both have the conclusions with the similar idea that Shakespeare loves his woman so much that he doesn't need to give her false comparisons to do with beautiful items or beautiful things that don't last forever - his love lasts for eternity in the sonnet: "So long as men can breath, and eyes can see So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.""
