Reflection for Sonnet 18

Sonnet 18 is Shakespeare's most well known sonnet. The first line of the poem seems to be asking "should I really?", as though it is not good enough or somewhat ordinary. The first octave is all about how summer is not good enough, why it is plain. It fades quickly, it is too warm, it is not constant. This could be a reference to how ordinary people compare to the young man. Then he tells the young man how his looks will not fade with Time like summer's will. Death cannot say that he has the man. The speaker then says that it is because of the poems. As long as people read the lines, the man will not fade with Time. His poetry keeps the man from Death since his memory will not fade. The line could also mean family lineage, as long as the boy chooses to have children. This sonnet also ends in a comma. This could simply be a human mistake, or Shakespeare could have intended it to mean that the boy will keep going, like the poem seems to.
