WHAT IS A SONNET?
The most simplest way to define a sonnet
is that it is a poem of fourteen lines that
follow a strict rhyme scheme.
RHYME SCHEME
A rhyme scheme is the pattern of rhyme
between lines of a poem, especially last
words in lines.
For Example:
TYPES OF SONNET
Petrarchan
Shakespearean
PETRARCHAN SONNET
Petrarchan Sonnets are also known as
Italian Sonnets. The Italian sonnet was
created by Giacomo da Lentini. The most
famous early sonneteer was Francesco
Petrarcha, known in English as Petrarch.
Italian Sonnet is basically divided in two
parts. First, the octave (two quatrains ),
forms the “problem” which is followed by
a sestet (two tercets), which shows a
solution.
Example of Petrarchan Sonnet
SHAKESPEAREAN SONNET
Shakespearean Sonnets are also known
as Elizabethan Sonnets. The form is
named after William Shakespeare. He
wrote 154 sonnets. It is different from
Italian form of sonnet. This form consists
of fourteen lines structured as three
quatrains and a couplet. Each quatrain
with a rhyme scheme of its own.
