Mistress Eyes My Mistress Eyes Shakespeare’s sonnets seem to be very personal and are like records of his hopes and fears, as well as his loves and friendships. In My Mistress Eyes, Shakespeare seems to be very critical of this woman’s physical imperfections. What he is trying to do is make people understand that love, is loving everything about this person, the good and the bad as well as the ugly, that there is more to love then just physical beauty and that you can fall in love with someone even if she seems to have nothing good about her. Normally when a typical poet writes a sonnet about a woman he loves he talks about her physical beauty, like that her outward appearance, things like her cheeks are like roses and pelts and that her skin is like milk or something really boring and mundane like that. However, this poem lists and describes every body part, even to the point of some smells of the mistress. The speaker expresses the idea that his mistress is not physically beautiful, and she has flaws, but he loves her anyway. This explains the so-called “flaws” with the writer’s love.
