Shakespeare's sonnets generally express an idea: love conquers everything. His poems fully affirmed human value, praised human dignity and personal rational role. The poet transformed the abstract concept into a concrete image and vividly explained the proposition of humanism with the tangible material world.
This poem begins with a comparison between "you" and summer. Summer in nature is in a green world, and everything is flourishing, which is the most prosperous moment of life in nature. Intoxicating green and bright flowers make summer colorful and colorful. However, "you" are much cuter and gentler than summer. The strong wind in May will spoil the lovely scenery, and summer is too short. The sun shines violently on the mottled land, and the shining beauty will inevitably fade in the flow of time. Compared with "you", the most beautiful season in nature is also much less.
And "you" can overcome these shortcomings of nature. "You" will not fade in the brightest season, and even your beauty will not lose anything. "You" is the eternity of the world. "You" will leave the shadow of death in a distant place and make the boast of death immortal. What is "you"? You are with mankind, and you are immortal in the long river of time. Is that the essence of human spirit-poetry about your body? In other words, you are the spirit of poetry and the soul of mankind.

The whole poem uses novel and ingenious metaphors and ornate and appropriate decoration to make the characters lively. The poet used the expression of images to make rigorous logical reasoning lively and interesting, and finally reached a humanized conclusion skillfully.
