Shakespeare states “If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun, If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head” (Lines 3-4). When Shakespeare says these awful things about his mistress he is referring to her hair and her breasts to not be so young and as smooth as it should be or as others portray. Shakespeare judges her hair because when you look at a wire, a wire is not smooth or straight and it’s not very flexible. It bends to the smallest thing such as a little breeze blows through or humidity is high. When he speaks of her breast he is saying that her breast are not as white or as young looking as someone or even as a goddess would be. Shakespeare is making it clear that his lady is not as perfect as he would imagine her. Through his statements he proves his judgemental tone by giving vivid examples of her hair and body. Along with all the negative judgements that Shakespeare makes about her, in his sonnet he will come to a close with a prideful tone about how much he loves her and how rare his love for her. Shakespeare states “and yet by heaven I think my love is rare, as any she belied with false compare” (lines 13-14). Shakespeare is making it clear that he loves her unconditionally and that
