Sonnet 130 - A Response

I had to read sonnet 130 for ELA and write a response about it, and here is what I was able to fashion out of it.

     Shakespeare wrote Sonnet 130 expressing an opinion few wrote about in his time. His first three quatrains are of a dame, known today as the Dark Lady, aptly named so out of her dun complexion. Love today is rarely idealized, in my opinion. Shakespeare describes women as having hair of wire (golden wire) while his mistress has black, dull hair. Simply this shows that truly, his love is blind.
     Courtly love was an extremely idealistic form of love. Woman were often regarded as strong spiritual forces in a relationship. They often married young so as to have a companion during their "prime" years. After teens, a woman not in the perfect relationship was discounted. Woman were said to have been married and kept chiefly due to their appearance. Shakespeare's words speak the opposite.
     Shakespeare's words ring very true to me. Physical attraction may be a cornerstone to inviting a love interest, but once you trust love a person, a certain part of you never ceases. Romantic love is an ineffable sensation rarely felt. Simply recognized, it's a driving force that makes life so wondrous that renound authors authors write about it to express and solve this inscrutable riddle.
