Alternate Title to Sonnet 130

[jjaausa]

I need help!!!! I have a group assignment about Shakespeare and I've been assigned Sonnet 130 and I would like some assistance or information that could lead me into creating and alternate title for Sonnet 130

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.


Thank You

What have you come up with so far?

well since shakespeare is kinda of mocking Petrarch's euphoric sonnets...I was thinking the title to be like "Untraditional Euphoria!

 

[Tdol]

It's possibly more mocking the excesses and clichés used by poets following Petrarch, in which case 'unconventional' might be a reasonable choice of word because these lesser poets slavishly follow the conventions and forms, turning them into sterile hyperbole.

For Some reason I feel my title to be somewhat bombastic I wish I could put it in simple terms that people can understand and relate to.

The plain truth
No exaggeration
