Physical separation is a powerful obstacle sometimes faced by those who are bound to each other by love. It causes intense emotional pain and can hinder any relationship where true love is at the center. Shakespeare's Sonnet 56 involved two lovers who experienced physical separation as an obstacle in their kinship. The “temporary sadness” that the lovers found themselves suffering caused the intensity of their love to vanish. With their love quickly fading, the two wished for “sweet love” to “renew your strength.” They wanted their mutual love to be "more sincere than the appetite, / which only today by nourishing itself is appeased, / tomorrow sharpens in its ancient power". They longed for a love similar to hunger, which constantly returned and needed to be satiated. However, because of their separation, the people's "spirit of love" had become "perpetual dullness." The “hungry eyes” of their love were “blinking full” and had lost their power and strength. To repair the love that had failed, the lovers wished to “come every day to the shores” of the ocean so that the “return of love” could come to their relationship, and they wished that “this sad period” was “winter”. , which being full of care / makes the welcome of summer three times more desired. Sonnet 56 was a sad story in which separation caused the love of two people to become dull and boring. The obstacle of separation was also evident in the relationship between Hero and Claudio found in the play Much Ado About Nothing. At the beginning of the play, Don Pedro and some of his men returned to Messina after fighting in the war. One of the men Don Pedro brought with him was young Claudio. Claudio was highly esteemed in the eyes of Don Pedro and had exceptional war performances... middle of paper......(RJ 3. 5. 197). Juliet was so disgusted by the thought of marrying Paris that she would have preferred to “make the nuptial bed / In that dark monument where Tybalt lies” (RJ 3,5,212-213). In desperation to prevent the wedding, Juliet went "to the friar to find out his remedy" (RJ 3,5,254). He told that friar that “he wishes to die / If what you say does not speak of a remedy” (RJ 3, 5, 67-68). The friar provided Juliet with a poison that would cause "the roses on [her] lips and cheeks to wither / To pale ashes, the windows of [her] eyes to fall / As when the day of life closes" (RJ 4.1. 101-103). Although Paris had been conquered by Juliet, Juliet had no desire to marry Paris. Their love was completely one-sided. Paris desired Juliet's love but Juliet would not grant him love in return. The obstacle of non-reciprocal love will prevent any relationship from being successful.
