Sonnet 130
Sonnet 130, written by William Shakespeare in the early 17th century, challenges the conventional Elizabethan ideals of beauty. Through its wry and realistic portrayal, the sonnet subverts romantic clichés by emphasizing the authenticity of love over superficial standards. Notably, this work reflects the theme that true beauty lies within, making it a significant piece in Shakespeare's body of work.
