WHAT IS THE THEME OF THE POEM "NOT MARBLE NOR THE GILDED MONUMENTS"?
Answers
William Shakespeare's sonnet, 'Not Marble, nor the gilded monuments' addresses the idea of immortality through verse. It tells us about the power of poetry,as it can make anybody famous forever. The poem conveys the message that literary art is not affected by the mighty hand of time,though marbled and gilded monuments are ravaged by the mighty hand of time. Hope it helps Thanks..
The sonnet, Not Marble, nor the Gilded Monuments brings out the futility of statues and ornate monuments raised by the rich and the powerful to immortalize themselves. The ravages of time on these monuments defeat the very purpose of building them and rob their architects of the pleasure of being remembered by the generations to come. The poem also brings out the poet’s faith in his verse and its ability to outlive the transient monuments. Hope it helps!!
