When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,

3 of 16

I all alone beweep my outcast state,

4 of 16

And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,

5 of 16

And look upon myself, and curse my fate,

6 of 16

Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,

7 of 16

Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,

8 of 16

Desiring this man's art and that man's scope,

9 of 16

With what I most enjoy contented least;

10 of 16

Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising

11 of 16

Haply I think on thee--and then my state,

12 of 16

Like to the lark at the break of day arising

13 of 16

From sullen Earth, sing hymns at heaven's gate;

14 of 16

For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings

15 of 16

That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

I chose to illustrate the first part of my sonnet with dark, grey colors. This shows the utter depression the speaker is in. To help show that idea of depression, I found images of people who were alone, or cast out from the people around them. I also attempted to find people that I would like to be like to show the lines about wanting to be someone else. Along with those, goes the images of fishing and depression, something I love with unhappiness.

I chose to illustrate the sonnet’s attitude change with brighter colors. Along with the brighter colors go the pictures of happy things. I chose birds and singing and people in love. This is so happy that the speaker refuses to change his state with that of a king.

Those are my illustrations.
