From the works of William Shakespeare and Edmund Spenser it is clear that some similarities are evident, however the two poets encompass different writing styles, as well as different topics that relate to each other in their own ways unique. In Shakespeare's “Sonnet 18” and Spenser's “Sonnet 75,” both poets speak of love in terms of feelings and actions using different expressive views, allowing similar topics to contain clear distinctions. Although Edmund Spenser's “Sonnet 75” and William Shakespeare's “Sonnet 18” are related in the sense that love is genuine and eternal, Spenser suggests love more optimistically, while Shakespeare focuses on expressing beauty and the stability of love. While Shakespeare and Spenser have their own sonnet forms and different rhyme schemes, the topics they write about in “Sonnet 18” and “Sonnet 75” possess many similarities. One of the main themes in both sonnets is the idea of ​​immortal love. Both sonnets directly mention the idea of ​​love that is everlasting, that challenges all time and overcomes all obstacles. Spenser states unequivocally that "when death subdues all the world, our love will live and later life will be renewed." As a result, Shakespeare declares that his and his subject's love “shall not fade,” but will continue to grow. When it comes to love that defies time, both sonnets remain in sync, expressing that even with death, love will go on and remain forever, through poetry and memory. Spenser describes his lover as one who will "live by fame," because through "[his] verse [her] rare virtues will eternalize." Evidently, Shakespeare believes that as the story is written, he and his subject's love will become one with time because "when in age...... middle of paper ......nser contemplates the spiritual love versus physical love, concluding dramatically, but always optimistically, while Shakespeare remains focused on the stability of love and the true beauty of the muse of “Sonnet 18.” of Shakespeare and Spenser's “Sonnet 75” can be seen in terms of their purpose, which in both sonnets appears to be the admiration of a loved one. Therefore, since William Shakespeare's “Sonnet” Sonnet 18” and “Sonnet 75” by Edmund Spenser share the idea that love is sincere and eternal, they can be considered similar in theme. However, although similar in theme, Shakespeare's intent is to portray the true eternal beauty of his love, which is already achieved, while Spenser focuses more on trying to attract the desired love, remaining optimistic throughout the poem..
