I think that throws light on our assumption that there is such a thing as moral progress — we in the West consider ourselves largely more enlightened than our great, great grandparents, who are likely to have been racist, sexist and homophobic (just for starters). But at the same time, the question prohibits us from being smug about this progress and draws attention to our own failings. Yet it does so in a detached way, asking not ‘What are we doing wrong?’ which is likely to make people defensive, but the more roundabout question of what other people in the future might think we are doing wrong (which leaves open the possibility that they are wrong about what we are doing wrong, it removes the idea that we are being judged.

However, the sudden reversal in tone in the final couplet surprises and moves through its sincerity and depth of feeling, suggesting strong emotions.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's "Sonnet 130" is a satirical take on the typical sonnet which in admiration and appreciation of one's beloved, putting women on a pedestal. Shakespeare uses the sonnet to challenge poets or poetry that uses too much hyperbole and exaggeration when describing or writing about their beloved.

In this sonnet, the three quatrains in iambic pentameter are a means to parody/ satire the typical conventional sonnet form. Shakespeare compares his beloved with other things, just that they are the typical words/ themes for a positive comparison. Rather, he uses negative/ less than flattering themes to compare with her. But in a sudden shift from the derogatory and less alluring comparison, he uses the couplet at the end to conclude and state that his lover is indeed as beautiful as any woman, misrepresented by all those exaggerated comparisons that poets used.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
