Sonnet 130 is about a man describing his mistress in ways that are compared to a supposed perfect woman. He is describing her characteristics compared to what a perfect woman might have. The way he describes her makes it seem very negative because she has none of the traits that he is stating. He says "My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;Coral is far more red than her lips' red;...." He is saying that she doesn't have extremely bright eyes or perfect red lips. Instead she is a more down to earth woman that is anything but perfect. This is the problem of the sonnet, that his mistress isn't the ideal and perfect woman. The resolution is that he doesn't think that any woman would live up to these ridiculous standards. He is saying that she is beautiful in her own way as a woman with normal traits and not god like and unlikely looks.
I feel that this resolution is a true theme in this modern day and age. People have these images in our heads of what a perfect girl or boy looks life and we expect them to look this way. This is almost impossible to achieve because everyone is unique in their looks and not everyone even tries to look this way. Some people don't care what others look like because they aren't as shallow as others. It is so incredibly unlikely that someone will look PERFECT, it just doesn't happen and people need to learn to be happy with a more normal look than the extravagant one desired. This modern day has made style escalate at an unbelievable rate since we get bored with our looks in months and then we want to change them. All of us need to learn that no one will look perfect and we need to be content with this.
