Themes;

affected with, characterized by, or causing a depressing feeling of being alone; lonesome.

"How like a winter hath my absence been"

Rossner made a connection with Shakespeare in the fact that she "examined the lives and experiences of modern women as they coped with loneliness, love, and their sexuality" which ultimately speaks for both Shakespeare and his lover because his sonnet of heartbreak could happen to anybody, male or female.

a feeling of sorrow or remorse for a fault, act, loss, disappointment, etc.

"Bearing the wanton burden of the prime,"

a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the threat is real or imagined; the feeling or condition of being afraid.

"What freezings have I felt, what dark days seen!"

a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person.

"For summer and his pleasures wait on thee,"

Boyce says that "love is subjected to abnormal strains—often involving jealous intrigues and conflicts between male friendship and romantic love" which relates to the conflict that Shakespeare displays in the sonnet. A strained relationship that he fears has frozen over and will never be renewed.

Seasons:

Summer is portrayed as a season of warmth, comfort, fun, and can also provide us with a happy and care-free attitude.

  • "For summer and his pleasures wait on thee,"
  • "And yet this time removed was summer's time,"

Winter is portrayed as a cold, barren, sad, season that laments the soul.

  • "What old December's bareness everywhere!"
  • "How like a winter hath my absence been"

Autumn is portrayed as a season that worries and fears of the harshness of winter.

  • "That leaves look pale, dreading the winter's near."
  • "The teeming autumn big with rich increase,"

The Birds:

The birds also fear the winter and seem to sing less, if they do it is not their usual chipper octaves.

  • "And thou away, the very birds are mute.

Or if they sing, 'tis with so dull a cheer,"

"Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" provided seasons as a motif in its story as well.
