Sonnet 129

            Sonnet 129 is the third sonnet in the Dark Lady series of sonnets, and is the first one in this portion that I have read.  This sonnet is very different from all of the other sonnets I’ve read so far in that it is an angry portrayal of the speaker’s feelings toward this person.  Before this, all of the sonnets were of praise and affection.  This one is more of a rant, trying to voice their opinion on a matter that deeply disturbs them.  From line one all the way to line twelve, it is one complete sentence, which gives a lot of insight into the speaker’s attitude.  It gives off the notion that the speaker was writing in a fury to get something off his chest.  It wasn’t planned out, but a way to express himself.  In the sonnet, the speaker voices his views on lust.  He knows it is wrong, but accepts it for what it is.  By the end, the reader gets a sense that the speaker accepts the idea over all, but does not feel any better about his conflict.
