Sonnet #103 goes beyond the boundaries of all the other sonnets written by other great poets, as well as Shakespeare himself. All other sonnets are based on love and the beauty of the one that they love. Shakespeare writes of how ugly this woman is compared to everything else around him. But in the end he turns it around to say how much he loves her. At first it appears to be a sonnet about how much he despises her, but turns out about how much he loves and adores her.
