William Shakespeare Sonnet 130 My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun. ... Shakespeare’s speaker replies, “I don’t know about your mistress, but my mistress is nothing like that: she’s a real woman, and doesn’t need any false compare to distort her attractions.” Shakespeare then begins in a series of different comparisons such as when he says “My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun.” ( Instead of Shakespeare explaining how wonderful and gorgeous his mistress is, he says what he really thinks of her and that he doesn’t care that she isn’t gorgeous and perfect, he loves her anyways. There are many things that William Shakespeare had to consider while writing this sonnet. ... Ian Wilson has come up with a startling theory in Shakespeare’s Dark Lady, a novel about the love life of a fictional Shakespeare scholar, Amelia Hungerford.
