Based On Sonnet fifty-seven By Shakespeare What Is His View Of Love?

Answer 1

It would be better to ask, "What is the view of love expressed in Sonnet LVII?" because Shakespeare shows so many different faces of love in the Sonnets, and we have absolutely no way of knowing which ones, if any, had anything to do with Shakespeare's own personality and feelings. While Shakespeare was able in his writing to put himself intellectually and emotionally into the skins of many different types of people, and to do it better than anyone has ever done it, he was also able to completely obscure his own personality and emotions in his writing. In a world where all writers are believed to be engaged in self-centred confessional whenever they write, people have a difficult time getting their heads around a writer who never talked about himself, but as far as we can tell, that is what Shakespeare did.
Now to Sonnet LVII. The view of Love expressed in this sonnet is made clear in the first three words, "being your slave". This is echoed in the later line "like a sad slave". The writer is portrayed as a person who has no needs and desires of his own, and only exists to serve the needs of his owner like a tool in a toolshed.

Answer 2

In Sonnet 57, Shakespeare portrays love as a force that can lead to inner conflict and turmoil. He acknowledges the challenges and uncertainties that come with love, emphasizing the need for resilience and determination in facing them. Overall, Shakespeare's view of love in this sonnet is complex, reflecting its capacity to both inspire and cause inner struggle.
