Analysis

sonnet 116

1) Let me not to the marriage of true minds2) Admit impediments. Love is not love 3) Which alters when it alteration finds, 4) Or bends with the remover to remove. 5) O, no! It is an ever-fixed mark, 6) That looks on tempests and is never shaken; 7) It is the star to every wand'ring bark, 8) Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken. 9) Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks 10) Within his bending sickle's compass come; 11) Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, 12) But bears it out even to the edge of doom. 13) If this be error, and upon me prov'd, 14) I never writ, nor no man ever lov'd.

• love is alway an actual theme

• people do not try to keep their relationship
• as soon as it gets difficult, they split up
