Sonnet Reflection #1

My interpretation of this sonnet is mostly the feeling of confusion. I wasn't really sure about what the point of this collection of sonnets was about and the actual meaning of this sonnet made me very indifferent. I wasn't sure how to read deeper into the meaning of the words of each sonnet, so reading and interpreting this first one was kind of difficult for me. However, once I understood the meaning of the lines and the different words in this sonnet, I began to feel the reaction of complete flattery from this sonnet. The speaker is basically saying how the young boy these sonnets are being written to is selfish for hoarding all his beauty and how he should give his beauty to his children. By the thirteenth line, the speaker makes the young boy out to be a selfish hoarder and one who keeps hazardous waste. by using the words "glutton be".
