In this podcast episode, the host interviews William Shakespeare about one of his sonnets. They discuss the meaning behind certain lines in the sonnet, such as comparing a lover's lips to coral and expressing love for both the lover's speaking and music. Shakespeare explains that he loves his lover despite recognizing her flaws, and this makes him love her even more. The host appreciates Shakespeare's clarification and expresses admiration for his work. The episode ends with a farewell and the possibility of having Shakespeare on the podcast again in the future. Hey y'all, welcome back to my podcast, Diving into History. Today I have a very special guest joining us today, the William Shakespeare. Thank you for the lovely introduction. I'm so happy to be joining you all today. So Shakespeare, let's just dive right in. Are you ready? Ready as I will ever be. Let's do this. Okay, first I want to ask you about my favorite sonnet that you have written. I think you know which one I'm talking about. Yes, I know. You love my mistress's eyes are nothing like the sun. I really do. There's just something so different about it. I have so many questions. Ask and you shall receive the answers you are searching for. Perfect. The first line I want to discuss is, Coral is far more red than her lips. What compelled you to say this? Do her lips not amuse you? I said this because I view my lover in a realistic way. Her lips are not bright red and beautiful like coral, but I'm okay with that. Great answer. Another line is, I love to hear her speak, yet well know that music has a far more bleeding sound. Can you explain what you mean here? So what I mean is I love to listen to her talking to me, but I also love listening to music. I don't have to hate music because I love her. Okay, one more and that'll be it. My mistress, when she walks, treads the ground, and yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare as any she belied with false compare. What are you saying here? Well, here I am saying I recognize my lover's flaws and humanize her, but that does not mean I love her any less. In a sense, that makes me love her even more. She has imperfections like we all do, and I love everything about her, flaws and all. That was beautiful, sir. Thank you so much for clarifying your thoughts while writing this. It makes me love your work even more. Thank you so much for joining me on my podcast today. Thank you for having me. I had a lovely time, as did I. Hopefully, we'll have you more often. Maybe. Thank you guys for tuning in to my podcast this week with William Shakespeare. See you guys. Bye.
