Which words and phrases in the sonnet indicate that the
tone is satirical? Select two options.
Albo
"My mistress"
"black wires"
"damask'd"
Read Shakespeare's "Sonnet 130."
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red, than her lips red:
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damask'd, red and white,
But no such roses seel in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound:
I grant I never saw a goddess go,
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:
And yet by heaven, I think my love as rare,
As any she belied with false compare.
O "reeks"
"false compare"

Answer 2

"black wires"

"reeks".

Step-by-step explanation:

William Shakespeare's "Sonnet 130" is a satire or mocking critique of the conventional sonnets that writers write. In this sonnet, he talks of a young lady who is short of conventional beauty ideals.

In the given lines from the sonnet, the poet/ speaker talks of his mistress whose "eyes are nothing like the sun" and he keeps on describing her features as opposed to one praising his lover. Rather, the speaker in this sonnet uses the negative descriptions in describing his mistress, like calling her hair "black wires" and her breath "reeks", far from the delightful perfumes that a lady is supposed to exude.

Thus, the two words that have a satirical tone in the sonnet are "black wires" and "reeks".
