Oh Dear! This poem has nothing at all to do with confining a woman as the lover. This poem, those before it and nearly all that follow, are directed towards a particularly beautiful young man. The poer goes on and on and on praising the young man's beauty, and being crazily in love, while the young man cheats on the port with his ex-girlfriend, and another poet. Finally a lady comes on the scene. Back then, in Britain, fairness was equated with beauty .... but THIS female is dark. She has "swarthy" skin, wiry black hair, and black eyes. Perhaps she is Sicilian or Calabrian or Spanish. Perhaps she is African, or of mixed race. All we know is that she is not considered beautiful by the standards of 16th century England. The poet cannot understand why she is so attractive to him. He cannot resist her charms. And what does the Dark Lady do? She toys with him. She cheats on him. She says cruel things to him. She makes him her sex slave. And she seduces his pretty boyfriend. And aster 150 plus sonnets he is still saying that nothing will quench the power of his love.
