What are 3 ways Shakespeare is insulting his mistress in the sonnet?
If you mean Shakespeare's sonnet 130 (My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun) - Shakespeare does not insult his mistress anywhere in this sonnet. The plain sense of the sonnet is that Shakespeare is saying: 'Other poets write about girlfriends with skin whiter than snow, lips redder than coral, and voices sweeter than music: but my girlfriend is better than that.' If your teacher thinks that Sonnet 130 insults the woman it is written about - then your teacher should not be teaching poetry (any more than an Intelligent Design advocate should be teaching Biology). End of.
