Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

This week, we're learning about sonnets, and English Literature's best-known purveyor of those fourteen-line paeans, William Shakespeare. We'll look at a few of Willy Shakes's biggest hits, including Sonnet 18, Shall I compare thee to a summer's day, Sonnet 116, Let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediment, and Sonnet 130, My mistresses's eyes are nothing like the sun. We'll talk about what makes a sonnet, a little bit about their history, and even a little bit about how reading poetry helps us understand how to be human beings

Ah but what if Shakespeare was addressing his sonnets to himself as the male subject of his sonnets. Writers are funny retrospective creatures in that sense and write to reflect on or write through their life situations.
