comment on the metaphar used in sonnet-3
Answers
Answer:
The extended metaphor of farming runs throughout Sonnet 3. The word "unear'd" means "unploughed," and here is used metaphorically as a reference to sexual intercourse.
Sonnet 3 is one of the "fair lord sonnets," one of the first 126 of Shakespeare's sonnets, which are either addressed directly to or written about the effect of a young and strikingly beautiful man. It is also one of the "procreation sonnets," which focus on the fair lord's responsibility to have a child so that his beauty might be passed on for future generations to appreciate. Allusion to the story of Narcissus is apparent in Sonnet 3, in the fair lord's tendency to "look in thy glass."
Though he admires the fair lord's beauty, the speaker views the young man as selfish, too. This is because the fair lord seems to show no interest in bearing children, and thus "dost beguile the world." The speaker pleads with the fair lord, using his knowledge of the young man's vanity to try to convince him. Though he cannot stop his own eventual death, surely he cares about preserving the image .Therefore as the last line, the speaker warns, "Die single and thine image dies with thee."
The theme of the ravages of time is prevalent throughout Shakespeare's sonnets, and in the fair lord sonnets, it is connected to lamenting the fact that the fair lord's beauty will fade and he will eventually die. In this sonnet, the speaker is trying to convince the fair lord that time will pass and his beauty will fade; he will not always feel such pride when he looks in the glass.
