  • Contrastingly, Wyatt uses a r__________________ Petrarchan sonnet to capture the physical barriers preventing the speaker's love for the subject which is encapsulated in 'graven with D______________ in letters plain.'

    Contrastingly, Wyatt uses a reversed Petrarchan sonnet to capture the physical barriers preventing the speaker's love for the subject which is encapsulated in 'graven with Diamondes in letters plain.' Interestingly, Wyatt uses anthropomorphism and degrading animalistic imagery in the verb ''graven'' to depict how the 'Deere' (woman) belongs to someone else - the contradictory line highlights how the diamonds embellish the woman's beauty but warn other captors (pursuers) of of her.

    The impossibility of love is further reinforced by the archaic lexis in 'noli me tangere for Cesars I ame' arguably in this Wyatt alludes to his alleged affair with Anne Boleyn despite her 'belonging' to Henry VIII which exemplifies the antiquated patriarchal view of wives as property. In addition to this, the way in which Henry as a powerful political entity serves as a literal boundary/obstruction as he cannot usurp the King's position for the speakers offers a parallel with Tom in TGG and the 'pearl necklace' given to Daisy not only symbolic of his ownership of her but also accentuating Gatsby's inaccessibility to her

Perhaps, this illustrates the power of Wyatt's love despite the f______________ of it.

    This is intrinsically linked with Rumen's critical notion that 'the Petrarchan sonnet presented Wyatt with a matrix for revelation with concealment'.
