The speaker of Sonnet 130 seems to think that exaggerated comparisons of a loved one (for example, to the sun, flowers, or a goddess) are:
A. exactly the right way to describe her
B. not complimentary enough
C. untrue
D. too difficult to write

Respuesta :

I think the answer is C, untrue. 

Answer:

C. untrue.

Explanation:

In this complicated yet beautiful sonnet written by Shakespeare, the speaker says that all comparisons that a poet may associate to a loved one are by necessity untrue —since the comparison is never quite accurate or is never fully satisfying. However, no matter how much these comparisons may lack in reality, in the case of the speaker, at least, they do refer to a kind of love that is true, valuable, and rare.
