Read the lines from Shakespeare's "Sonnet 131."
Thou art as tyrannous, so as thou art,
As those whose beauties proudly make them cruel;
For well thou know'st to my dear doting heart
Thou art the fairest and most precious jewel.
How do the central ideas in the sonnets relate to each
other?
Now read the lines from Shakespeare's "Sonnet 130."
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.
O They are similar because both are about the angelic
beauty of a woman.
O They are similar because both are about love for a
woman others may find lacking.
O They are different because the first is about pride,
while the second is about love.
O They are different because the first is about true
love, while the second is about betrayal.

Answer 1

B). They are similar because both are about love for a woman others may find lacking.

Step-by-step explanation:

The key similarity between the given lines from 'Sonnet 130' and 'Sonnet 131' of William Shakespeare is that 'they both talk about the love for a lady who other people may find incomplete or lacking.' In both the sonnets, the speaker talks about love beyond physical appearance and beauty and breaks the stereotypes of associating the beloved with beauty('most precious jewel' and 'false compare'). Shakespeare primarily aims to offer a different representation of love in order to break away from the traditional perspective of love and beloved. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
