This sonnet is much different than the other sonnets because it is comparing what love isn't to what love is. One theme that was shown throughout this sonnet was the relationship between time and love and how love can always outlast time. Love and time are both personified in this sonnet which just proves that these two concepts are the main point trying to be made by the speaker. I also noticed that love is said to be immortal in this sonnet, despite the restrained and negative tone. The connection I made was the fact that the speaker encouraged the boy to be immortal in previous sonnets. This shows me that the speaker is starting to relate love with the young boy and might start to become romanticlly interested in the young boy. This couls start to be the shift from writing to convince the young boy to have children to be obsesively flattered by the speaker.
