One Person's answer:

Sonnet 29 is about his despair about being a homosexual, and then 130 is about his despair about having an ugly mistress. He doesn't like anyone, and when he is sad, he thinks of something bad, so then, he feels worse.

Why does sometimes bass does not sound effective when both speakers are connected to a stereo amplifier and whereas the bass punch is obtained on disconnection of any one speaker?

It is possible that you are mixing up the negative and positive wires on the speakers, and what you are hearing is phase cancellation when both speakers are on, which would not be evident with only one speaker. Make sure both speakers are connected with the + and - wires (red and black) properly to the amp. There is usually writing or a small molded notch in the speaker wire to help you maintain the proper polarity for the wires.


What is a sonnet and who wrote sonnets that also wrote plays?

A sonnet is a particular kind of 14-line poem with a strict metre and rhyme scheme. They were a common kind of love-poetry in the sixteenth century in England and earlier in Italy. No doubt most of the playwrights of that time (sixteenth and early seventeenth century England I mean) wrote sonnets at one time or another to chat up some lady who they fancied. But the person who is really famous both for plays and sonnets is William Shakespeare.


Why are Shakespeare's sonnets controversial?

The sonnets themselves are not particularly controversial, but the scholarly debate about why and for whom they were written has stirred up some controversy. Many of the sonnets appear to be written to a young man, and in terms which are pretty affectionate for relationships between men. By today's standards that degree of affection only exists between gay men, which prompts some people to assert that Shakespeare must have been gay. On the other hand, some of the sonnets seem to be written to a woman, which would lead to the opposite conclusion. The possibility which is not often dwelt on is that the sonnets are no guide whatsoever to Shakespeare's sexuality. Elizabethans were aware of homosexuality (it is referred to in both Shakespeare's and Marlowe's work) but they did not necessarily expect even intense affection to lead to a sexual relationship. That is a conceit of our century.
