What does Shakespeare have to say about love?
Love was the most common subject for sonnets in the Renaissance, and Shakespeare’s are no exception. In a short essay (500 words) choose one of Shakespeare’s sonnets and explain what you think Shakespeare is saying about love. You must use at least one quotation from the sonnet. Use a correct signal phrase, correctly quote the language, give a correct in-text citation, and include correct works cited entry. Remember that literature can be interpreted in different ways, so you also need to explain your chosen quotation. What does it mean? How does it support your claim about love?
Note: If you use any other sources to write this, such as a dictionary or a website on Shakespeare, you must properly quote/paraphrase, use in-text citations, and include the source(s) on your works cited. There are many theories about for whom particular sonnets were written, and you are welcome to include research on those as part of your essay, but it is not required.
