Love Through The Ages Anthology

Question 1

Who so list to hount I knowe where is an hynde

Answer 1

‘Who so list to hount’ - the woman he is chasing is still available, extended metaphor, dominant, powerful
‘may I by no meanes my weried mynde/Drawe from the Deere’ - suggests he is still enchanted by her and is under a spell, long and drawn out, almost dreamy
‘graven with Diamondes’ - metaphor, precious, rare, lasts forever, possession-like a collar, wealth

Question 2

Sonnet 116

Answer 2

‘marriage of true mindes/Admit impediments’ - evokes the institution of marriage, enjambment suggests that true love should have no impediments, love is not bound to anything
‘Love’s not Time’s fool’ - time has been personified, possession, love doesn’t change or perform for anyone
‘I never writ, nor no man ever loved’ - first person pronoun-individual possession, strength of his convictions, rhyming couplet brings the sonnet together
