... of the time. The sonnet is in the form of a love Sonnet. Although it mocks the conventional blazon it does not undermine the beauty of his mistress. Shakespeare tells us that he would love her even if “her breast were dun….” John Donne’s sonnet is quite personal as he is writing about his own beliefs but expressing publicly his views. Shakespeare’s sonnet is written for a wider audience as he is trying to get people to see his point of view.
