These can be divided into three categories: Tragedies, comedies and histories. Modelled after the Roman poet Ovid, it is a re-telling of the classical myth: Venus, the goddess of love, falls for a young mortal who dies after being attacked by a wild boar.
Shakespeare interprets the myth comically as well as tragically, for Adonis continually resists Venus's desire. The poem is considered an experiment in delicate eroticism.
The Rape of Lucrece is also a long poem based on Ovid, but rather more serious, and based on history rather than myth. Devastated and filled with shame, Lucretia stabs herself to death. The poem comments on the problems of masculine violence and institutionalised attitudes towards feminine chastity. The Oxford edition of the complete works Oxford: Clarendon Press, also includes as Shakespeare's various poems, some songs, and epitaphs.
His tender heir might bear his memory:. Alternate Title: That time of year thou mayst in me behold. Sonnet 73 focuses on the theme of old age and its effect on human beings. Shakespeare uses a series of metaphors to characterize the nature of old age. That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,. As the death-bed whereon it must expire,. Enamored by Adonis, Venus tries to seduce him though Adonis is only interested in hunting.
She faints when he scornfully rejects her and fearing he has killed her, Adonis kisses Venus. She recovers and they kiss again. The next day Adonis goes out for boar hunting even though Venus has had a vision of him being killed by a boar. The vision comes true and Venus is devastated. Due to what happened to her, from then on, when ever humans will love, there will always be suspicion, fear, and sadness. It shall be cause of war and dire events,. Subject and servile to all discontents,. As dry combustious matter is to fire:.
Sith in his prime Death doth my love destroy,. They that love best their loves shall not enjoy.
