Shakespeare Simplified - Sonnet Sundays: AN INTRODUCTION

A brief Introduction to Shakespeare's Sonnets and how the Sonnet works in general as a poem. Part of a new series called Sonnet Sundays which will compliment the main Shakespeare Simplified series and ensure I upload regularly. By no means comprehensive but useful if you're new to poetry or Shakespeare in general.

Shakespeare’s sonnet 18 conclusion resurrected me, put me to rest, resurrected me again to break my heart and now I live in agony. To say the sonnet’s words preserve the lover’s beauty and the couple’s love for the rest of time is undeniably a tender way to say I love you.😔

Hi, from Brazil! I was searching for something like this. We do not learn this in our schools and the information on internet is very much complicated. You just simplified the thing. Thank you very much.

Hi Luke is it true that Shakespeare would have young boys play the role of women in Shakespeare plays?
