Similarities in I Do Not Love You Except Because I Love...
The poem ââ¬Å"I Do Not Love You Except Because I Love Youâ⬠by Pablo Neruda uses many literary techniques to get its point across, and inadvertently relates to Shakespeareââ¬â¢s famous comedy ââ¬Å"Much Ado About Nothing.â⬠Nerudaââ¬â¢s poem is filled with literary techniques that help the reader understand itââ¬â¢s meaning. First, this poem combines two general poetry types: it is a narrative poem because it tells a story and it is a lyric poem because it includes the writerââ¬â¢s feelings and passion. Also, Neruda includes a set time frame, ââ¬Å"Maybe the January light will consume my heartâ⬠. In addition, the author uses many descriptive elements to describe his love, ââ¬Å"I will die of love because I love youâ⬠. He uses powerful words and deep statements that help the reader understand how to feel or perceive love. Pablo Nerudaââ¬â¢s poem also connects to both sets of couples in Shakespeareââ¬â¢s ââ¬Å"Much Ado About Nothing.â⬠It is obvious that lines from this piece can relate to Beatrice and Benedick. ââ¬Å"I hate you deeply, and hating you/Bend to you, and the measure of my changing love for youâ⬠this line connects to the indecisive couple because throughout the play, they constantly bicker. In the end, however, they admit their love for one another. In addition, lines from Nerudaââ¬â¢s poem also connect to Claudio and Hero. ââ¬Å"I go from loving to not loving youâ⬠this quote could connect to the second couple, since Claudio believes Hero cheats on him, he quickly changes his mind and ââ¬Ëstopsââ¬â¢ loving her.
