How does shakespeare use the image of smoke and fire to develop romeo's ideas about love in lines 188-189?

 Two major explanations exist. This methaphor might refer to the painfulness of love: the smoke, when it gets to the eye, is painful, it even make someone cry, such as love – which is, despite of being beautiful at the same time, makes people ofthen suffer.

Another explanation is, that where there is smoke, there is also fire – in the lovers eye. Somke has to be fed by something – so love itself is only something secondary. But what lies deep inside is more important: it is real fire, real pain which makes you work and live or suffer either.

in the sonnet 116 written by william shakespeare we can analyze the symbolism and say that he reuses the idea of love like a guiding star for the sailor.

reading through the poem we find out that in the line 7 there is a metaphor for the lover that is heading through the life events by love itself .
