Question

summary of the poem true love​

Answer 1

Answer:

Shakespeare’s sonnet number 116 “True Love” presents the poet’s idea of true love. True love, believes and affirms the poet, is the union of true minds. Such union of true minds overcomes all obstacles.

Love that changes when circumstances change is not love. It is mere sensuality or lust. Once two true minds get united in love, nothing can change or separate them. No remover can remove, can even bend true love. In other words, no external force or influence, however strong, can sever the bond between true minds united in love.

True love, according to Shakespeare is, like the pole-star, or the lighthouse, is an ever-fixed mark. Storms or tempests cause havoc on the sea. Ships drift in the dark, searching for direction. The polestar, in the face of such disturbance, remains steadfast and guides the ships and the sailors.
