Sonnets
The document summarizes key elements of Shakespearean sonnets. It explains that sonnets have 14 lines organized in three quatrains and a rhyming couplet. The first eight lines establish an idea, while the final six lines challenge or twist that idea in an unexpected way. The first word of the ninth line often signals this change in direction. It provides examples of Sonnet 18 and Sonnet 29 to illustrate these structures.
