Sonnet-"sonneto"- little song in Italian
Sung and performed live
Two types- Patrarchan and Shakespearean sonnets
Patrarchan- octet followed by sextet
Flowery imagery and language
Rhyming more often incorporated, not vital
Shakespeare saw as unrealistic, "no one really talks like that!"
Shakespearean sonnet- 3 quatrains and a couplet
