William Shakespeare’s sonnet 116 titled “Let Me Not to the Marriage of True Minds” is one of the most universally recognised and loved sonnets written by Shakespeare. The poem describes true love using different expressions and the poet goes on to explain that if it is true love, it will forever stay and absolutely nothing can separate true lovers and if love alters with time, it cannot be called true love. The poet is so sure about his assessments that he says if he is proven wrong, he will cease to remain a writer and no one has ever loved.

The dramatic style of the poem makes a statement about what is wrong with the world. The poet’s grief, sadness, and fear in a world that is steadily devolving into hell are symbolised by the child’s cries. The poet depicts a world devoid of compassion, love, and remorse as a result of the unborn infant’s haunting appeal.
