초록
The Sonnets engages with three ideas of space. Firstly, there is an actual physical space that is perceptible through the senses. It is evoked by the concreteness of the grave or the prison. It also indicates the closed intimate space such as the closet, bedchamber, chest, and breast. Secondly, there is imagined space where eternal love is conceptually realized. The poet-lover imagines the mutual love in his private retreat. Thirdly, being the textual space, poems are material products occupying a distinct physical space in which imagined spaces are created. In his concern with textual, physical, and imagined space, Shakespeare translates interiority into material space in The Sonnets. This paper aims to analyze the poet’s dilemma in his effort to seek intimate privacy in the milieu of the public world. The poet-lover aims to establish a space for inwardness away from the glare of the public eye. Such a space is imagined as a withdrawal from stage to page, where to “hear with eyes belongs to love’s fine wit.” However, the problem is not an essentially inexpressible inwardness but rather the unbearable social pressures of the public world. Finding himself exposed and vulnerable even in his private retreat, the poet-lover acknowledges and affirms precisely the pressures of the public world that the previous sonnets seek to disclaim. The Sonnets reveals an obsessive dilemma between the existential conditions of the poet-lover who loves and writes and his private desire to pursue personal private inwardness.
Abstract
The Sonnets engages with three ideas of space. Firstly, there is an actual physical space that is perceptible through the senses. It is evoked by the concreteness of the grave or the prison. It also indicates the closed intimate space such as the closet, bedchamber, chest, and breast. Secondly, there is imagined space where eternal love is conceptually realized. The poet-lover imagines the mutual love in his private retreat. Thirdly, being the textual space, poems are material products occupying a distinct physical space in which imagined spaces are created. In his concern with textual, physical, and imagined space, Shakespeare translates interiority into material space in The Sonnets. This paper aims to analyze the poet’s dilemma in his effort to seek intimate privacy in the milieu of the public world. The poet-lover aims to establish a space for inwardness away from the glare of the public eye. Such a space is imagined as a withdrawal from stage to page, where to “hear with eyes belongs to love’s fine wit.” However, the problem is not an essentially inexpressible inwardness but rather the unbearable social pressures of the public world. Finding himself exposed and vulnerable even in his private retreat, the poet-lover acknowledges and affirms precisely the pressures of the public world that the previous sonnets seek to disclaim. The Sonnets reveals an obsessive dilemma between the existential conditions of the poet-lover who loves and writes and his private desire to pursue personal private inwardness.
