  3. What is a sonnet? • It has 14 lines • It is in iambic pentameter • It has a specific rhyme scheme(ABAB CDCD EFEF GG) • It has 3 quatrains • It has a rhyming couplet at the end (a rhyming couplet is the last two lines of the Sonnet that rhyme instead of alternate rhyming like the other lines.) • Most Shakespearean sonnets are about love. What makes a poem a Sonnet?

  4. Rhyme Scheme: • The pattern that rhyming words follow at the end of the lines: Example: Bid me to weep, and I will weep (A) While I have eyes to see; (B) And having none, yet I will keep (A) A heart to weep for thee. (B)

  5. What is foot and iambic pentameter? • Foot refers to every 2 syllables in the poem. This is also beat. • Iambic: refers to the feet in each line. Each iambic foot has one unstressed followed by one stressed syllable. • Pentameter: refers to five feet per line (or 10 syllables).

Examples of Meter • Dr. Seuss: . / . / . / . / I do not like green eggs and ham . / . / . / . / I do not like them Sam I am Shakespeare: . / . / . / . / . / Let not my love be called idolatry. . / . / . / . / . / Nor my beloved as an idol show, . / . / . / . / . / Since all alike my songs and praises be . / . / . / . / . / To one, of one, still such, and ever so.

  7. What is a quatrain? • A stanza of four alternating rhyming lines. • What happens in each Quatrain of a Sonnet? • Quatrain 1: Introduces the main idea (theme) and main metaphor • Quatrain 2: The theme and metaphor is elaborated upon. • Quatrain 3: A twist or conflict is introduced. • Rhyming Couplet: The point of the argument given.

  8. Sonnet 116 By William Shakespeare Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments; love is not love Which alters when alteration finds Or bends with the remover to remove: O, no, it is an ever-fixed mark, That looks on tempests and is never shaken; It is the star to every wand’ring bark, Whose worth’s unknown, although his highth be taken Love’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle’s compass come; Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom. If this be error and upon me proved. I never writ, not no man ever loved.
