Sonnets

So what are the four elements of a sonnet?

1.) fourteen lines

2.) Iambic Pentameter - ten syllables per line, stressed and unstress 

3.) rhyme scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GG

4.) three quatrains and one couplet

Let's see how they work:

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed,
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed:
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,
Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st,
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

116
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments, love is not love
Which alters when it 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 height 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, nor no man ever loved.

130
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun,
Coral is far more red, than her lips red,
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun:
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head:
I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks,
And in some perfumes is there more delight,
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know,
That music hath a far more pleasing sound:
I grant I never saw a goddess go,
My mistress when she walks treads on the ground.
And yet by heaven I think my love as rare,
As any she belied with false compare.

Now - what are some traditional sonnet themes?

1.) Love 

2.) Death and aging 

3.) Immortality through poetry 

Let's look Romeo and Juliet's first dialogue together and see how that fits both the sonnet form and traditional sonnet theme.

Finally we'll look at the prologue and see what it does.
In the prologue, we learn where the play is meant to take place, the feuding between two families, and a pair of star-crossed lovers (one from end of the fighting families) who kill themselves to be together.

Love at First Sight?

Love at first sight....a concept many hopeless romantics have fantasied over for decades. Honestly thou, does it really exist? How many people can say they married and stay with their first crush, partner? In personal experience, it doesn't exist but a delusion. Lust, desire, attraction, all of these things can exist at first glance. Love thou, is something that takes time. It needs an emotional connection to truly be real, not just a physical attraction. See, Romeo and Juliet had desire for one another, but not love, they knew nothing of the others wants in life, knew nothing of their little quirks and habits. Accepting these things is what makes love exist. In conclusion, "love at first sight" does not exist and is a delusion.
