The sonnet illustrates that love is only loving if a true friend will nourish your spirit and make you feel safe.
It should be noted that a sonnet simply means one stanza fourteen-line poem that is written in iambic pentameter.
It should be noted that a sonnet is gotten from sonetto which means a little sound. In Sonnet 116 this sonnet attempts to define love, by telling both what it is and is not.
In the first quatrain, the speaker says that love is the marriage of true minds that is perfect and unchanging; it does not “admit impediments,” and it does not change when it finds changes in the loved one.
These sonnets are expressions of platonic love and affection, in this case, both Alice Walker, in her poem, "even so", and Shakespeare, in sonnet 116 agreed about the importance of love.
