We are first drawn to Shakespeare’s plays
We are drawn to him first as a dramatist
We like his plays
He is a master of words
Then we are drawn to the sonnets as
A painter uses color
A sculptor uses form and shape
As a poet uses words
Keep this book of sonnets for the course
Just about no one reads all sonnets at once 1-154
But rather people jump around
Read reread to enjoy and see potential of meaning
Find your favorites
Some are quite simple yet upon further analysis some are quite complex
I’ll give you a brief outline of the sonnets
Some background and interpretations/insights
