The answer to the question will be your thesis statement.
Embedded in your question are sub-questions: how are love, friendship, and
marriage defined in the poems? what characteristics do they have? how can they be
preserved? what relationship do they have with time? Look carefully at each of the
sonnets you mentioned. You may find common threads and be able to synthesize your ideas
into a thesis like this:
By showing that friendship
can end sorrow, that love can and should be immortalized, and that marriage beween true
minds is steadfast and unchanging, Shakespeare's Sonnets 55, 30, and 116, respectively,
depict the value of human relationships.
