Question

In the poem sonnet 18
the speaker uses nature to describe his love. How

Answer 1

In "Sonnet 18" by Shakespeare, he uses nature to describe his love by comparing the unknown person's attributes (both physical and character) to summer itself.

Explanation: We can see from the poem that it is about the author comparing his unknown lover to summer. The author describes the unknown as "too hot the eye of heaven shines" meaning that as his/her light dims the light of summer. He also describes the unknown as "Thou art more lovely and more temperate" therefore describing him/her as a more physically and characteristically appealing figure than summer itself.

Answer 2

In lines 1-4, He uses summer to compare his lover with. Because it is hot, a time of passion, fun. Summer fades away, but his lover does not. Her beauty shines for eternity. Shakespeare uses the beauty in nature to communicate his insights about his beloved because to link him to this time of beauty, heat and passion.
