Shakespeare’s sonnet 60 and 16 talk about time and its impacts on humanity. Sonnet 60 is

considered one of the best works of Shakespeare because of how it portrays time in terms of

mortality and how humanity views time as it passes. On the other hand, sonnet 16 talks about

time from children’s eyes. In sonnet 16, the speaker compares time to a “bloody tyrant” “Make

war upon this bloody tyrant, Time?” this line views time as a constant war in all of humanity life.

The speaker is to make war with time, a war that doesn’t seem to end well unless blood is lost.

you on the top of happy hours,” this line shows that the speaker is on his prime years and

“And many maiden gardens, yet unset, With virtuous wish would bear you living flowers, Much

liker than your painted counterfeit:” he has the chance to win the war on time, since so many

women are available to bear his offspring. Sonnet 16, shows that the only way to keep living and

be remembered after death is to have offspring’s who will ensure your remembrance. In addition,

the sonnet displays the effects of time to the human body.

On the other hand, sonnet 60 which is considered one of Shakespeare’s greatest, shows

how time affects the human body as they age and how it all leads to death in the long run. In line

1 “Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore,” time is compared to the waves in an

ocean how they come and sweep off the pebbles as they make way to the next wave. This is

similar to how death occurs in du time, making way to another generation, which will also in

turn die. Additionally, sonnet 60 also talks about how time makes the beauty of youth last in

humanity, without remembering that it will all pass away to old age and wrinkles and finally
