I’m one of the juniors 🤞🏿🙏🏿🫶🏿.

this is the most entertaining explanation of Sonnets + accurate info, very helpful to English teachers/ looking to make sonnets relevant to students today! i second the instant subscribe

Such a beautiful video, it looks like you invested so much time in it and it's very much appreciated!!! I'm particularly fond of the presentation with some humorous elements. For me personally this is the best way to learn and I feel like I learned something from your video. Big thank you!

You know what, you have earned yourself a new subscriber despite the oversaturated market, my friend. I love watching people who love what they do.

this video burst me into tears… thank ypu for all

Best explanation so far ❤ Keep it up unweeded garden ❤

I rarely comment on videos, but I felt the need to express how much I appreciate these videos. I'm taking a huge test tomorrow and the essay component will be to analyze one random sonnet. Before these videos, I just looked at the words like they were written in Klingon. Now, I have a better understanding and hopefully will do better on the essay. I still struggle with the language, but knowing the general context of these essays will help me a great deal. I have never been so entertained by such a dry topic and my daughter asked my multiple times why I was laughing out loud. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Thank you for your wonderful video.. perhaps it is about moving from a subconscious domesticated state into a feral wild human being if not just for a moment if not just between the lines but the bittersweet taste of moving from one's personal cage to freedom never leaves us Blessings

Really well done. Such a shame you stopped. Hope to see more soon.

This dude is the dude

Dear Sir: I am a former cultural critic who never knew much about literature and therefore focused on the fine arts. I was recently approached by a 21-year-old "Fair Youth" who asked me to read his sonnet, and I tried to beg off, saying I didn't know how to judge a sonnet, revealing my intimidation of this art form. I have been roaming around the Internet looking in the usual places for "free Shakespeare courses on Introduction to the Sonnets," and I have to say that yours is really splendid. If I want to delve deeper into Shakespeare's sonnets, can you recommend a critical text that would help me do so?

Thx

They were written in Iambic pentameter A sonnet has 14 lines written in 4 sections 3 sections, each section with 4 lines followed by the last section with a couplet. deDUM deDUM | deDUM deDUM | deDUM deDUM | deDUM

i'm gonna be honest dude if you start doing a masterclass i'll pay for it

Sonnets are hard .

Sometime around the year 1600, William Shakespeare wrote 154 sonnets

Hot damn, lovely editing and presentation

​@@Jeffhowardmeade Moving the goalposts again. You tried this tactic with King James just last week, and it went down in flames. Did you forget already? But okay, name someone whose identity must be proven, and I will see if I can provide documents to do so. You do the math and tell me how many total papers Shakespeare would have produced in his lifetime (assuming your story is true), including finished manuscripts, rough copies, letters of correspondence, journals etc.

@@vetstadiumastroturf5756 I love how you get your ass handed to you and promptly declare victory. There aren’t 10k extant documents for anyone of the age, including for King James. We have for Shakespeare precisely what we would expect for a middle class poet after four centuries. We have dedications to him. We have evidence of him getting paid to write. We have evidence of patronage. We have an extant manuscript. We have well-placed people who knew him identifying him as a poet by his name, his social rank, his profession of actor, and his home town. And I’m not moving the goalposts. I’m showing you what they look like, because you’re clueless.

Engaging.

The rhyme scheme listed at 2:46 is inaccurate. Sonnets have the rhyme scheme ABAB CDCD EFEF GG. The example poem does not conform to the standard rhyme scheme of a sonnet, so maybe pick a different example poem.

Hi Bridget! Actually, at 2:46 I'm discussing the sonnets of Petrarch and Sydney, which do, in fact, use the ABBA CDDC etc rhyme scheme. The example poem is one of Sydney's, and a predecessor of Shakespeare's sonnet form. If you continue watching, at 3:31 you'll see the rhyme scheme that you're more familiar with.
