Though beauty fades in time, love does not change with hours and weeks. "Love's not time's fool" (line 9). It doesn't need time in order to live. Instead, it "bears it out even to the edge of doom." (line 12) It will continue to live until eternity. Shakespeare uses imagery to further describe how love is outside of time. He says that love is not within his bending sickles compass Love is out-of-bounds compared to time. Time has no effect on true love, for true love lasts forever. Shakespeare then swears that everything he said is true about love. In sonnet 130, Shakespeare uses a different approach to love. His tone is of a comical view of love. The idea of laughter is to catch the reader off guard. This technique is used to have the reader resist paying close attention to certain things, provide a personal, unpredictable and unplanned ideas .He goes on by talking about the woman, which he loves. The ironic thing about this sonnet is that he does not talk about her as if she was some type of goddess. In fact, he goes the total extreme and says how this woman is far from being a goddess. Unlike most love stories, Shakespeare doesn't use the typical cliché words that have been overly used before. He actually made a new unique kind of love poem. Throughout the sonnet, Shakespeare almost degrades her character in order to demonstrate that love exists beyond beauty alone. An example of Shakespeare's technique, used to describe love, is when he referenced to her eyes. He said that her eyes are "nothing like the sun," (line 1). He meant that she was not gifted with radiant eyes. He gave an example to show how faded her lips are when he said that "Coral is far redder in color than her lips' red- (line 2) illustrates that her lips aren't lush and an exuberant shade of red. He goes on to compare white snow with her brown colored breasts, and her hair that looks or feel like wires growing on her head.
