The theme in this sonnet relates to the expression of love and not sex.
The articulation of love is from the poet to a young man.
Unfortunately, there is a tendency, that when there is an expression of love, there are some who will apparently view such an utterance as commingling with sex-such a philosophy is apparently false.
For example, parent love their children and express their love verbally and in other ways.
Additionally, a dog is a man's best friend and their loving friendship comes across in different forms.
Whenever a dog catches a burglar or a Frisbee flying in midair, the man normally will hug and kiss the dog, and at times the dog will receive a special doggie biscuit as a loving sign of affection or an expression of love.
Actually, the words in the first line of the poem tell a story regarding the sense of sight as follows: "A woman's face, with nature's own hand painted.
" This line is referring to the subject, who has a woman's face that no one could have put on canvas; it is from God's natural nature.
Line two is an articulation regarding that of a master-mistress dichotomy of affection in the following manner: "Hast thou, the master-mistress of my passion;" This is a sort of rhetorical question about love and not sex.
Here, the subject is twofold; in two different spheres-one masculine and the other feminine.
Naturally, the poet has a sign of affection for the young man, who is the center of controversy in this sonnet.
Apparently, there is a double nature in this poem.
It is one which should leave a big question mark of ambiguity on the tongue of many readers regarding the young man in the picture-the objectification of male beauty.
The young man apparently is displaying a double character, which is dramatic and obviously is the center of dispute in this sonnet.
The author is apparently expressing love for the young man.
However, one must understand that the ambiguity of the writing and the shifting changes referred to in line number four which states: "With shifting change, as in fake woman's fashion," is a historical backdrop to the poem.
Obviously, the male gender was the one who normally acts the part of a woman in many plays during the time frame of Shakespeare.
Additionally, the switching back and forth of the gender in these sonnets on various occasions over the years is another story.
The historical nature of the time period should make it easy to visualize how gender plays a critical role in this affection of ambiguity.
The final analysis should lead one to the conclusion that the sonnet-is about love and not sex.
The words in last line of the poem, which is a part of the theme, state the following: "Mine be they love, and thy love's use their treasure.
" Naturally, this line and the previous discussions make this a poem of loving expression and not one of a physical sexual relation.
