Shakespeare’s sonnets
About Shakespeare’s Sonnets: He wrote 154 of them (!) In his sonnets he focuses on love, lust, friendship, mortality, and immortality
The format of a sonnet 14 lines Lyric poems (short poems with one speaker expressing thoughts and feelings) Rhyme scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GG So three quatrains (three stanzas with four lines each where every other line rhymes), then one rhyming couplet (one stanza with two lines where those two lines rhyme)
Rhymes in a Sonnet Uses both ear-rhymes and eye-rhymes Ear-rhymes: rhymes in sound (like “increase” and “decrease”) Eye-rhymes: rhymes in sight (like “compare” and “are”
Sonnets use Iambic Pentameter Each line has 5 metric feet with alternately unstressed and stressed syllables Each line is ten syllables long The accent is always on the second syllable By “iambic”, it means the rhythm goes from an unstressed syllable to a stressed one This happens in words like: di vine , ca ress , bi zarre , and de light The underlying beat, then, is like a heartbeat
Check out the first line of “Sonnet 18” Look at your notes, then decide: How is this line in iambic pentameter? Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
