Appearance versus reality
Sonnet 130
Sonnet 130 was published by Thomas Thorpe in 1609 along with a series of 154 other sonnets.
Both Sonnet 29 and Sonnet 130 adhere to the Shakespearean sonnet structure, which consists of 14 lines written in iambic pentameter with a rhyme scheme of ABABCDCDEFEFGG. They also explore themes of love, beauty, and the complexities of relationships in a strikingly honest and introspective manner. Additionally, both sonnets use literary devices such as metaphors, similes, and imagery to express the speaker's emotions and sentiments.
Sonnet 18 is an expression of love. It describes the person he is speaking of as beautiful, sweet, and temperate. Sonnet 130 takes the opposite approach by describing how she is not as beautiful as nature.

Sonnet 130 by William Shakespeare follows an ABABCDCDEFEFGG rhyme scheme. Each quatrain has a unique rhyme scheme, and the couplet at the end rhymes with itself.
Both Sonnet 130 by William Shakespeare and the poem "When Great Dogs Fight" by Ray A. Young Bear explore the theme of the contrast between appearance and reality. In Sonnet 130, Shakespeare discusses the speaker's realistic view of his lover's imperfections, while in "When Great Dogs Fight," the poet uses the metaphor of the dogs fighting to symbolize the clash of power and aggression in society. Both works demonstrate a deeper understanding beyond surface appearances.
