personification metaphor and imagery
Figurative language is any kind of language where the words do not mean precisely (literally) what they say. Shakespeare's Sonnet 116 is not an obvious sonnet to choose for examples of figurative language (for a number of reasons): but when Shakespeare says that he does not want to 'admit impediment' to Love, that is an example of figurative language. He does not literally mean that he worries that Love might stumble over something, he just says that he is not going to criticise true love in any way. Similarly, later, when he calls love a 'star to every wandering bark' he does not literally mean that Love appears in the night sky; he means that love is how we navigate our lives - so this is also figurative language. There is more figurative language in this sonnet, but now that you know what you are looking for - you will probably be able to find your own.
In Sonnet 29, Shakespeare employs several forms of figurative language, including imagery and metaphor. The speaker uses vivid imagery to convey feelings of despair and isolation, contrasting them with the uplifting metaphor of love, which transforms his mood and perspective. The phrase "like to the lark at break of day arising" serves as a powerful metaphor for the rejuvenating effect of love, highlighting its ability to elevate the speaker from his sorrow. Additionally, the use of repetition emphasizes the intensity of his emotions throughout the poem.
In Sonnet XII by Francesco Petrarch, figurative language includes vivid imagery and metaphors that express deep emotions and themes of love and longing. The poem employs personification, as the speaker's feelings are often depicted in relation to nature, suggesting a connection between human emotions and the natural world. Additionally, the use of similes enhances the intensity of the speaker's feelings, illustrating the pain of unrequited love. Overall, Petrarch's use of figurative language creates a rich emotional landscape that resonates with the reader.
