Shakespeare's Background

Analysis

The use of the imagery of summer and its extended metaphor shows the theme of love during the "summer years", the prime of the relationship, but also in the declining years, or the shift away from the temperate and sunny summers.

"And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;

And every fair from fair sometime declines,"

....

"When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st;"

William Shakespeare was baptized on April 26, 1564, in Stratford, England. From around 1594 onward he was a crucial member of the Lord Chamberlain's Men company of theatrical players. Records give little indication as to how Shakespeare founded his professional life. All that can be determined is that over the course of 20 years, Shakespeare wrote numerous plays aimed at capturing the full range of human emotions and conflict.
