Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,0, University of Wuppertal, language: English, abstract: This paper examines Sonnet 130 and some further remarkable sonnets from an ecocritical viewpoint putting special emphasis on how he represents the environment in order to gain an insight into Shakespeare's perspective on Nature and to point out to what extent it is relevant for us. One of Shakespeare's most popular works among plenty of his plays, comedies and tragedies are his Sonnets. These 154 sonnets mainly focus on the themes of love, beauty and time. But if we examine these poems in more detail, we can notice that Shakespeare uses many words related to the semantic field of Nature in order to highlight its beauty and to compare it with human nature. Moreover, it plays an undeniable role in understanding the content of each sonnet in depth since he refers to different natural phenomena.
