Question 142187 • LHS English 10
In “Sonnet 130,” the speaker rejects exaggerated comparisons common in love poetry: his mistress’s eyes are not like the sun, and her lips are not as red as coral. Yet he says his love is rare and genuine, without needing those false comparisons. Choice D best summarizes this idea: she is unlike idealized images, but he values her deeply.
