In this sonnet by William Shakespeare, he personifies that “beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” Society has always placed great emphasis on the physical attributes of a person while ignoring the beauty that lies within. By today’s standards, Eleanor Roosevelt may be seen as a plain and an unattractive woman. However, she was a beautiful woman by being instrumental in helping the underprivileged of all creeds, races, and nations during the early 1930’s.
