Auszug:
The given poem “Sonnet 20” by William Shakespeare is about the affection the speaker (the “fair
youth”) feels for his male friend.
In the first four lines the speaker describes his friend's outward appearance and personality,
comparing both to those of women. His face has female features and his personality is described as
faithful and ever more reliable then that one of a woman. Additionally the speaker states his
passionate love for his dear friend.
From lines five to eight the speaker describes the fair youth's radiant effect on women and
men surrounding him. He is popular among men, and many are willing to follow him. Women are
charmed and admire him.
From lines nine to 12 the speaker states that his friend was created in order to appeal to
women in a physical way. He was born with a male sexual organ, due to a mistake made by nature.
