In Sonnet 87, I find it to be one of the most depressing. Shakespeare is telling the boy that he should be with someone else because of the fact that the boy is a lot “better” and he should raise his standards. I take this as either a pity party, or Shakespeare is showing the amount of confidence he really has. When you are trying to get compliments and things, people usually tell others how useless they are and how unattractive they look, but Shakespeare seems to be taking it into a whole new level. He is saying how the boy is a treasure, and how he is worthless. In a way I think the writer realizes how amazing the boy is and maybe being with him isn’t the best choice. After all, he is the one telling him to have children. So, I think he understood that this wasn’t right.
