Let me not to the marriage of two minds.
The poem "Let me not to the marriage of two minds" by William Shakespeare is a poem that I interpret to mean that only independent people should get married. People who tend to change due to being in a relationship should not be in one because it causes damage to both parties in the relationship. But if love can be found that doesn't cause ether parties to change then it should be cherished because it is very valuable. I'm not sure that my interpretation is correct or even remotely close to what author had intended but I am getting the impression that love between people who do not remain independent is doomed to failure. However, love that allows for its parties to retain their own independence will prove successful and is very precious.

Rod..great review of this poem. I found this poem personally hard to read and understand. I did feel the author was trying to say that if you truly love someone, not lust, you will be able to find a way through all obstacles. I enjoyed your explanation of independent vs. non-independent people.
