For centuries, people have desired to transcend the limitations of a temporary life, longing for the unattainable goal of immortality. Even poets have expressed in their works the desire to remain as they are with the loved one despite time and death. Although William Shakespeare's “Sonnet 55” and Edmund Spenser's “Sonnet 75” from Amoretti both offer immortality through verse, only Spenser combines this immortality with respect and cooperation, while Shakespeare promises himself immortality until the sonnet continues to be read. Spenser argues with his mistress, treating her as his equal while Shakespeare takes a selfish approach to the subject and praises himself. However, both Shakespeare and Spenser treat the topic in an original and individual way. Spenser starts from an average situation and uses dialogue to convey the main idea. Shakespeare addresses the reader with a monologue. Both “Sonnet 55” by William Shakespeare and “Sonnet 75” by Edmund Spenser present the idea of ​​poetry's ability to immortalize and allow one to survive time and death. In Amoretti's “Sonnet 75,” Spenser states that he is able to give his beloved immortality through his poetry. It does so starting from a typical situation between two lovers. The circumstances are therefore general, but Spenser communicates in such a way as to make the scenario intimately personal. His sonnet creates the image of an ideal love through the conversation between him and his lady, absorbed in each other, against the backdrop of the sea. In its opening lines it projects a vivid image of a tide flowing through the sand of a beach as the speaker incessantly attempts to write his lover's name on the damp shore. He would like to keep his......medium of paper......to immortalize it. In “Sonnet 75” by Edmund Spenser, taken from Amoretti, the speaking character is concerned with immortalizing his beloved using her verses. William Shakespeare's “Sonnet 55” sees the immortality of poems differently. The speaker of “Sonnet 55” exudes confidence and selfishness, claiming that his powerful verses will be forever immortalized through the praise and admiration of future readers. Consequently, the poet will also be immortalized through his work. Spenser's “Sonnet 75” and Shakespeare's “Sonnet 55” both offer immortality through verse. However, Spenser wishes to immortalize his beloved, while Shakespeare is the subject of his sonnet and believes that his immortality is imminent as long as the sonnet itself continues to be praised and remembered. However, both Shakespeare and Spenser treat the theme of immortality with a creative and fascinating approach.
