What is the same about Shakespearean and Petrarchan Sonnets? 14 lines, Iambic Pentameter (10 syllables) What is Different? Structure - 4 stanzas: 3 Quatrains and a couplet Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GG (Always!) Vocabulary: Quatrain - set of 4 lines of poetry Couplet - two lines of poetry Relationship: The key to the Shakespearean Sonnet is held in the COUPLET. The final couplet will unlock all the meaning of the sonnet There is sometimes a "soft" turn or the beginnings of a turn in the third quatrain, but the couplet holds the key!

Partner Work Choose one of the two poems on the back and : - Paraphrase each quatrain. - Identify the turn(s) and determine what relationship exists between the stanzas. - Think about what point the poet is trying to make. - Look to the couplet to help “solve” the poem, the “big reveal.” - Do the literary and sound devices in the poem support the relationship you discovered through tone or imagery? |
