The Sonnets

William Shakespeare

4.12 AVERAGE


I do not like poetry ergo I did not like Shakespeare's sonnets. It's hard to explain why I don't like poetry, but to me it is either you love it or you hate it and I'm on the hating side.

Shakespeare at his best.

borrowed from niamh very early dating <3 she annotated different sonnets for me
mysterious medium-paced

Oh I do love Shakespeare’s sonnets! I must have highlighted half of the book his writing is so beautiful.

I remember studying Shakespeare in high school and absolutely hating it. But then moving up to college and suddenly falling in love with it. It was a bizarre experience but one that I’m glad I went through.

Sometimes, when you need a bit of inspiration for a good romantic quote, the sonnets are your best bet. And it’s incredible to me that in all the years since these were written, we haven’t found a better way of expressing how much we love and admire someone.

Incredible.

Not a fan of Shakespeare's sonnets think I'll stick with the plays
