Sonnet notes 13

Sonnet 35, line 13: “Such civil war is in my love and hate”

I’ve always thought this line made sense in context. The poet is of divided mind. He loves the Young Man but he hates what he has done. Because of his love, he will argue on behalf of the Young Man against himself. But we can read my love and hate differently. Do the love and hate both apply to a person? If so, could it be the Young Man? The poet has expressed disappointment about the Young Man before, but never hate. That seems too strong. Could the love and hate of another person be causing the civil war in the poet’s heart? Is this why he is an accessory to the sweet thief that sourly robs from him? Has he done something to make him complicit in the Young Man’s transgression? This is all very confusing right now, but one hundred sonnets later, in the series about the Dark Lady, we may hear some more detail that could clear this up (see Sonnet 135).
