Essay on Sonnet 130 and Passionate Shepherd To His Love

Sonnet 130 and Passionate Shepherd To His Love nbsp; In William Shakespeares Sonnet 130 and Christopher Marlowes The Passionate Shepherd To His Love, the themes of unconditional love, opulent treasures, and vivid imagery are all conveyed throughout the poems but through different point of views. nbsp; The theme of unconditional love is expressed through the two poems. The poet proclaims his affection for her by telling his love that he will give her anything in the world if she would just be with him.
