The parody in Shakespeare's Sonnet 130 lies in the poet's rejection of traditional idealized descriptions of beauty that were common in sonnets of that time. Instead of praising his lover using exaggerated and unrealistic comparisons to nature and the divine, he humorously describes her in a more down-to-earth and realistic manner.

∙ 13y agoThe main metaphor of sonnet 116 can be found in the second quatrain. " O, no! It is an ever-fixed mark". This mark refers to the North Star which in this period would have guided lost ships ("barks") back home. Love therefore is compared to the North Star as true love will guide one to there 'destination' or destiny.
