Shakespeare’s treatment of the Sonnets

…

…the motif of the woman as the object of desire. Here the roles got completely mixed up. Vision of a woman as an object of unobtainable desire and unbounded beauty was brought to an end. Shakespeare sneers at false comparisons. Woman presented by Shakespeare is made of flesh and blood. Apart from the purest feeling that is love, there is also a dark world of lust, desire and sex. Shakespeare does not forget about that.
