Please help for EDGE: Read Shakespeare's "Sonnet 130.” My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun; Coral is far more red, than her lips red: If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun; If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head. I have seen roses damask'd, red and white, But no such roses see I in her cheeks; And in some perfumes is there more delight Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks. I love to hear her speak, yet well I know That music hath a far more pleasing sound: I grant I never saw a goddess go,— My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground: And yet by heaven, I think my love as rare, As any she belied with false compare. What is the central idea of the first quatrain? My mistress is unattractive. My mistress is beautiful. My mistress has a natural beauty. My mistress is not a perfect beauty.

Respuesta :

The correct answer is D. My mistress is not a perfect beauty.

Explanation:

In this poem, Shakespeare describes his mistress by referring to physical features such as her eyes, lips, breast, hair, etc. Additionally, through this physical description, Shakespeare emphasizes the woman is not perfect, this can be seen in "My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun" or "If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head" because these details show the eyes and hair of the woman are not especially beautiful or perfect.

However, this does not affect the love of the author for this woman, which is explained in " And yet by heaven, I think my love as rare, As any she belied with false compare." According to this, the main point or central idea is that the woman is not a perfect beauty and despite this the author feels a profound love for her (option D.)
