SONNET 116 William Shakespeare
SONNET 116 Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments. Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove: O no; it is an ever-fixed mark, That looks on tempests, and is never shaken; It is the star to every wandering bark, Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken. Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle's compass come; Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom. If this be error and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
The theme of this passage is Time's passage creates love. Obstacles increase love. Love leaves a lasting mark. True love is unchanging. I say Love leaves a lasting mark. :)

I thought true love is unchanging... But that's me
I Agree
@trigonometry
@CandyCove Your opinion please? :)
The things that William says in lines 4 & 5 make me think it was c. (I would copy and paste the whole thing but I'm on my tablet ;-;) brb

@hartnn your opinion please? :)
Hartnn doesn't have time for your love essay.

@YoungStudier
@isry98
@SnuggieLad, your opinion please? :)
I believe you are correct, Magnus.
Jim, what do you think?
I would say that it is True love is unchanging because of the amount of detail he goes into listing things that could change love, but after every obstacle he makes sure to say that love is still not changed.
Okay. Thanks! :)
