Read the lines of verse. from sonnet 130, by william shakespeare and yet, by heaven, i think my love as rare as any she belied with false compare. what does this final couplet from sonnet 130 suggest about the speaker’s feelings? his love has been misrepresented through false comparisons. his love is as charming as any of those who are praised by false comparisons. true love lasts forever and nothing in heaven can stop it. true love is rare and can only be found in heaven above.

The answer is; His love is as charming as any of those who are praised by false comparisons.

d. cassius cannot believe that a weakling like caesar has become so great.

first of all the mood needs to be defined: it is obviously a mood of deceitful relief and serenity. why? because the cape horn is one of the most violent maritime regions of earth and although it has been left behind, it is a personification of ahab’s delirium and the fact that the end of the passage speaks about it about being “hidden” but “raving” immediately conveys the feeling the calm is not permanent but fleeting.

furthermore, the oxymoron “mild stun'sails” is the first instance of such feeling as the adjective “mild” is associated with “stunned” underscoring the fleeting nature of this “tranquil” moment. and the contrasts keep piling up, with the opposition between “dark den” and “blessed light and air” to end with the final conclusion that leaves the reader with the uneasy knowledge that this is just a reprieve.
