1.    What is the central theme of Sonnet 116 by William Shakespeare?

Answer:- Sonnet 116, “Let me not to the marriage of true minds,” is an alluring description of Shakespearean concept of love composed as a sonnet. The central idea of this sonnet is ‘The consistency of love till Doom’s Day’. In the opinion of the poet the true love is always stable, “It is an every-fixed mark”. Love cannot be love if it perishes with time. “Love’s not time’s fool”. Love is the marriage of ‘true minds’ that is permanent in the face of changes.

                   Love is a fixed mark assisting the true lovers, just like the pole star that guides sailors to reach their wand’ ring bark.”

                   The passage of time destroys everything including a person’s beauty but it does not affect the marriage and union of true minds “Love alter not with his brief hours and weeks.”

                   The poet also wrote that his explanation about love is erroneous and if love is not according to his insight, then people never truly loves and he was never a true poet, “I never writ, nor no man ever loved.”
