Introduction
  • Sonetto, Italian for "little song" or "little sound"
  • Lyrical poem of 14 lines 
  • Sonnet is used to investigate a problem, conflict, desire, etc.
  • Specific rhyming pattern (e.g. abba-abba)
  • Specific meter (stressed versus unstressed syllables) 
  • Sonnets contain a volta = a moment in the sonnet where the rhyming scheme changes, as well as the subject matter

Petrarchan Sonnet
  • Named after Francesco  Petrarca (1304-1374)
  • Also referred to as the Italian Sonnet
  • 14 lines of the poem are divided as such:
    Octave (8 lines): abba-abba
    Sestet (6 lines): cde-cde OR cd-cd-cd
  • Octave's purpose is to introduce a problem, desire, wish, etc.
  • Sestet introduces the volta, signalled by change in rhyme

Shakespearian Sonnet

    Three quatrains (4 lines):  abab, cdcd, efef
    One couplet (2 lines): gg 
  • The quatrains introduce the problem/theme and explore it
