The young man in Shakespeare's Sonnets is lauded as a container of and beauty, while on the other hand, the speaker claims that his verse truly represents his addressee's worth. However, engaged as he is in an attempt to persuade the young man to reciprocate the gifts of nature and of his true-telling friend, the speaker reveals a self-interested agenda for praise that contradicts his assertion of unbiased truth. Here, Scott examines the complex, often paradoxical connections between giving, and representation, which the speaker's attempt to give truth expose in Shakespeare's Sonnets
