Sonnet #94

I loved this sonnet. It leaves a question in the air, which is if it is better to be evil one's whole life or change from good to evil. The last line of the sonnet is very powerful. It states,"Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds." It means that even the most beautiful things are worse when they change to something awful then things that have been awful the whole time. I truely believe that this statement is true and logicical. Also this poem says that those with beauty have more power to hurt people. My best guess is that the speaker and the reader had a fight or are having a rough time in their relationship. The speaker calls the reader a tease in this sonnet, which leads me to believe that the reader is promising something that they can't deliver. This sonnet just goes to prove my theory that the reader and the speaker have a very unstable relationship.
