How is the described in the sonnet “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?

Ans:-
Shakespeare’s sonnet 18 is one of the most famous sonnets. Here the poet describes the beauties of summer which is subject to change. In the summer the sweet buds are shaken by the rough winds. The sun shines brightly. But sometime the gold complexion of sun is dimmed by the passing clouds. The duration of summer in nature is very short. The beauty of the summer shall fade. Here he builds the image of his friend by comparing his beauty to the summer. Thus the nature of summer becomes rough and cruel. But the friend of the poet is mild, lovely and temperate.
