any body can tell how shakespeare tell us how is the nature of man that is subject to change in the poem-shall i compare thee to summers day any one can helpWww@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I've read over it and I'm quite certain it does NOT say that the "nature of man" is subject to change at all!. And it's a sonnet (technically !.!.!.people won't believe you understood shakespeare if you call a sonnet a poem!.!.!.it is, but a specific type of poetry) "Thou art more lovely and more temperate!." Temperate is the opposite to extreeme (i!.e!. extreeme weather / storms) !.!.!.Shakespeare says flat out that his love is not changeable like nature, thus why he won't compare her to a summers day!. Shakespeare goes on to say that nature is subject to chance, he is comparing his love's stability with the changability of nature: "Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date!." Even if summer is all that great, summer only lasts a few months, whereas she will be beautifull all her life: "But thy eternal summer shall not fade" (he's using summer as a metaphor of the joy she brings him) In another way, Shakespeare is making her immortal and unchanging by writing the poem about her: "So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee!." -As long as we (you and me) read this poem, the poem lives in our consciousness and Shakespeare's lover becomes immortalised in the lines!.
