这个是要写作文吗？我很懒所以只能给点 dot points 啦。
First note you might want to outline that Shakespeare lives in the Renaissance period and that humanism is a value of the Renaissance period. (This is optional but it backs up your argument to some extent)
theme: note that in Shakespeare's other sonnets there are overarching themes on 1. The brevity of life 2. The transcience of beauty 3. The trapping of desire. This could be your lead into arguing how Shakepeare is placing human behaviour on emphasis ....(leading to humanism ...etc)
For particular argument look at the techniques that Shakespeare uses. One of the most obvious is the metaphors of comparing his love to summer. There could also be a line of argument that Shakespeare elevates human status through comparing his love to nature. An example would be "thou art more lovely and more temperate" ...etc There is also personification on nature running throughout the poem
希望这些有帮到你一点。
