Sonnet 145 rethought

So today in class i had mentioned how much i enjoyed this specific poem. I liked it because of the playful side of love and romance it portrayed, however the more i think of it, the more I am confused on its true meaning. I believe it can also be interpreted as how manipulating, how encaging love sometimes is. To see how much power the women has, how she can ruin his life with one word, then I start to wonder if she purposely let him believe she was going to say "I hate you" rather than "I  hate not you"... Either way, it is still my new favorite.

  1. Yes! I love that you think that it shows how manipulating love is because it's true! It's believed that people will take advantage of you when they know you love them. I'm not saying that this poem is about how she takes advantage of him, but I think she knew that it would hurt him because she knew how much he loved her. And sometimes people do that! It's a cruel world.

  2. I didn't think of it like that until you pointed it out actually. Now that you mention it, I can definitely extract the idea that love is manipulating.

  4. Its funny how a relationship work. At one point its roses and daisies then its sorrow. I like the ways Daisy summerized the poem.

  5. I didn't see this until you pointed it out. Maybe he is talking about how love can manipulate but what if it's deeper then that . Like what if he's trying to say love is truly there if there's this emotional response.
