What is the main idea expressed in the first two stanzas?

Answer 1

The main idea in the first quatrain of Shakespeare's Sonnet 130 is to introduce mockery of the exaggerations then conventional in poems of love. The subjects of such poems had eyes bright as the sun, breath as sweet as honey, hair like threads of gold and so on - unrealistic conceits made popular by the 14th century poet, Petrarch, who, for example, declaimed of his "Laura":

The way she walked was not the way of mortals

But of angelic forms, and when she spoke

More than an earthly voice it was that rang.

The conceits in the above extract are also mocked - within the remainder of Sonnet 130.

Answer 2

The main idea of Sonnet 18 is that the youth he is writing about (a young man) is beautiful. So beautiful that he must be an exception to death and must become immortal, and it connect strongly with sonnet 15 in my opinion. Basically the poet makes out that immortality cannot be stopped until that last few lines when he allows teh youth to stay immortal within his verse.

Sonnet 106 flatters - by proclaiming that the addressee's beauty has been foreshadowed, but not matched, in the praises of ancient poems addressed to the icons of their day.
