1.Shakespeare gives a visual picture of the season fall.
By doing this he sets a mood. When you think of the bare boughs there is a certain sad, emptiness showing. Also, fall is a changing time and he shows it with his words , symbolizing the changing of the person in this sonnet.

2. Like I said before, the fall symbolizes the changing and depression. The falling of the leaves show a sad and emptiness. Fall perfectly describes the changing from old to young in the person Shakespeare talks about. The weather expresses the feelings of Shakespeare. Especially, since he says you can find this season in me.
