Shakespeare's sonnet 130 compare's to Billy Collins new and improved version of "Litany" in writing style and theme. Both authors use an incredible amount of imagery and rapacious humor to describe and convey the women they love deeply. Instead of comparing their beloved to beautiful things in the world, putting get emphasis on her best assets. Both writers decide to accentuate their lover's flaws; suggesting that although their lover have so many flaws, and although those flaws can be worse than their own, that doesn't stop him from loving her because love is more than a person's best assets and flaws.
