PLEASE HELP NEED ASAP Read Shakespeare's "Sonnet 130.”
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red, than her lips red:
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damask'd, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound:
I grant I never saw a goddess go,—
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:
And yet by heaven, I think my love as rare,
As any she belied with false compare.
Which statement best explains the two possible interpretations of the sonnet?
The three quatrains satirize common poetic comparisons of one’s beloved to beautiful things, suggesting that the speaker’s feelings are not strong. However, the sudden reversal in tone in the final couplet surprises and moves through its sincerity and depth of feeling, suggesting strong emotions.
The speaker ridicules his mistress through his negative comparisons of her to idealized objects in the first 12 lines, which implies that he has lost interest in her. In the final couplet, though, he humorously reverses his tone and exaggerates her charms, from which readers can infer that he is being playful rather than hurtful.
Some readers believe that the speaker uses satire to ridicule his mistress. Others find that his tone remains affectionate even while he speaks of her hair being “black wires,” her breath reeking, or her feet mundanely treading the ground.
The humorous tone in the first two quatrains show that the speaker does not take love seriously. However, in the third quatrain, he speaks of loving his mistress’s voice and that she moves as he imagines a goddess would; this shows that he is serious about love after all.

The correct answer is A. The three quatrains satirize common poetic comparisons of one’s beloved to beautiful things, suggesting that the speaker’s feelings are not strong. However, the sudden reversal in tone in the final couplet surprises and moves through its sincerity and depth of feeling, suggesting strong emotions.
Explanation:
"Sonnet 130" by William Shakespeare is composed of three quatrains (stanzas with four verses each) and a couplet (a stanza of two verses). In the three quatrains, the author describes a woman he loves by using satire, which is the use of humor, irony, and exaggeration. This can be seen in "If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head" because the author compares the hair of the woman to the wires or in "My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun" that explains the woman's eyes are not bright or beautiful like the sun. The use of satire in this section of the poem suggests that the author does not love the woman or has any positive feelings towards her.
However, this interpretation based on satire changes in the couplet "And yet by heaven, I think my love as rare, As any, she belied with false compare" that shows the author appreciates the woman and her love, and therefore he has strong feelings towards her. Thus in the three quatrains, the author uses satire to compare the woman and this suggests negative feelings but in the couplet, the real strong feelings are shown (Option A).
