Dear Student,
Given below is the answer to two of your questions. Kindly post the others in separate threads.
8 Marks.
1. In the sonnet 'Not marble nor the gilded monuments' the poet talks about the greatness of poems and verses. He reminds the lover that whatever is built in honour of the war soldiers, in the form of statues and monuments, will be destroyed by time. However, the words that he uses to express his love and devotion to his lady love will never be erased. In other words, he is reminding his lover that the poem for the lover, is the greatest gift that he can give her in all the world.
2. The poem 'Not marble nor gilded monuments' talks about two forces-time and war.‘Not Marble Nor Gilded Monuments’ one of Shakespeare’s most famous verses, asserts the immortality of the poet’s sonnets to withstand the forces of decay over time. While monuments that princes get erected to be remembered forever will be destroyed, and their creators forgotten, the poet’s friend will continue to shine brightly in this verse. The value that can be derived from this instance is that stone monuments may crumble to dust, blackened by time and devastating war, but neither the god of war nor his quick-burning fires shall destroy poetry, according to the poet.
