Question

Read the passage. I have seen roses damasked, 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. What ideas does the speaker express about his love in these two quatrains from Sonnet 130 by William Shakespeare?
He changes his mind about the way he feels about his love.
His love is not idealized because she is inferior to things in nature.
He compares his love to a goddess.
His love has beauty that is superior to roses, perfume, and music.

Answer 1

Answer:

His love is not idealized because she is inferior to things in nature.

Explanation:

This is the statement that best explains Shakespeare's intention in these lines. In these lines, he describes how his love is, and he tells us that she is not comparable to the many beautiful things in nature, such as flowers, perfumes, music and the gods. He wants us to know that, although he is in love, his love is not idealized, and he can clearly see the reality of his lover.
