The speaker in the Shakespeare "Marriage Sonnets" has one goal in mind, to persuade a young man that he should marry and produce beautiful heirs.

In Sonnet 10, the speaker challenges the young man's sense of self, regarding his love and affection for others. The speaker exaggerates the lack as "murderous hate."

In marriage sonnet 11, the speaker again evokes the young man's pleasing qualities, claiming that the lad has an obligation to marry and pass them on to offspring.

The speaker of Shakespeare's marriage poem 12 again shows how changing nature always comes under "Time's scythe," and only one remedy can fend him off: producing an heir.

In sonnet 13 the speaker continues pleading with the young man to marry and father a son. Again, the speaker is quite specific: "You had a father: let your son say so."

The speaker in Sonnet 138 confesses to a less than perfect relationship based on lies and deceit of which each partner is aware, yet they continue to flatter each other.

In sonnet 14 the speaker says he does not have the power to predict the future by gazing at the stars in the sky, but the eyes of the young man tell all he needs to know.

In marriage sonnet 15, the speaker employs the Time metaphor again to persuade the young man that his only hope for deliverance from decrepitude is to produce offspring.

The speaker of Sonnet 16 likens the struggle with time to war. The young man is at war with Time as if it were a bloody tyrant he has encountered on a battlefield.

In Sonnet 19, the speaker personifies and challenges Time to devastate his art as he does all living creatures as they age; then he declares that Time cannot do so.

The second marriage sonnet continues the speaker's plea to the young man to marry. He urges the lad to think "carpe diem" before his beauty fades.

The theme of Sonnet 21 is similar to other sonnets that praise portraying a realistic description of the beloved, instead of the exaggerations that amount to untruths.

The speaker in Sonnet 22 asserts that despite his physical aging and death, his talent for creating poems will eternally retain his love, inspiring future generations.

Sonnet 3 of the "Marriage Sonnets" focuses on the young man's image in the mirror. Again the speaker appeals to young man to marry and reproduce to bequeath his beauty.

Each "marriage sonnet" employs a particular metaphor, but the speaker continues with his one theme; he is trying to persuade the young man to marry and produce offspring.

The speaker of sonnet 5 dramatizes the young man's youth as summer and compares old age to horrid winter, while portraying offspring as the distillation of flowers.

Sonnet 6 might be considered a companion piece to Sonnet 5 as the speaker opens by referring to the metaphor he used in the earlier sonnet, the distillation of flowers.

The speaker employs a clever pun in Sonnet 7 as he metaphorically compares the young man's life to a daily trip of the great star across the sky.

In Shakespeare's "Marriage Sonnet 8," the speaker for the first time evokes the joyful state of marriage itself, as he continues urging the young man to produce an heir.

In Sonnet 9, the speaker queries the young man about another possible reason for his remaining single: does he fear leaving some poor woman a widow?
