The last physical feature to be described are her breasts. He writes: "If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head." (line 4). He also describes her hair as being wires, but not blonde, no, her hair is black. His mistress is pale and her cheeks aren't rosy red. In lines 5-6 he goes on to describe her face and basically says that it is pasty white with little to no pigment. Then when he is describing her lips he doesn't say that they are scarlet red, as some poets would, instead he says that they are light and dull, the exact opposite of a stunning red. Shakespeare is saying that her eyes aren't bright and she doesn't light up people with her gaze, but her eyes are black and kind of sadden. He starts by saying: "My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun / Coral is far more red than her lips red " (lines 1-2). He uses rough, ugly images to describe his "mistress" (line 1). To begin with, in the first lines of Sonnet 130 Shakespeare begins by describing how his lady looks. In this analysis of Sonnet 130, I will show through Shakespeare's images, word choice, and form how he finds a deeper beauty in women, their flaws. One Sonnet in particular, Sonnet 130, is a different approach at idolizing women. When all of the other poets were writing Sonnets about women and describing them as these beautiful goddess-like creatures, he had other features in mind. Shakespeare was a poet of a different breed in his own time.
