Shakespeare’s Sonnet 118
[ send me this essay ]
This 5 page report discusses Shakespeare’s Sonnet 118 that begins with the words “Like as, to make our appetites more keen.” Sonnet 118 may be dismissed as only dealing with appetites associated with sexual obsession and gluttony. The imagery of food such as “being full,” “sweetness,” “bitter sauces,” and “feeding” establishes a sense of satiation or over-indulgence. As a result of that over-indulgence, the poet compares the need to purge in order to avoid getting sick to the need to escape the “cloying sweetness” of the person with whom he is obsessed.
