To determine which option is the correct answer, we can analyze Sonnet 43. Sonnet 43 is written by Elizabeth Barrett Browning and is part of a collection of sonnets called "Sonnets from the Portuguese."
In Sonnet 43, the speaker mainly discusses the ways in which they love their beloved. The poem is a declaration of boundless and unconditional love. The speaker describes their love for their beloved as deep, pure, and all-encompassing. They use imagery to convey the intensity and extent of their love, stating that they love their beloved both "freely" and "purely," with the passion of their "old griefs," and with the same level of devotion as they have loved their own existence and childhood dreams.
Therefore, option C, "the ways in which the speaker loves her beloved," is the correct answer.
