| Notes: | Shakespeare's sonnets comprise a collection of 154 poems in sonnet form that deal with such themes as love, beauty, politics, and mortality. Most of the sonnets are addressed to a beautiful young man, a rival poet, and a dark-haired lady. Readers of the sonnets today commonly refer to these characters as the Fair Lord, the Rival Poet, and the Dark Lady. The narrator expresses admiration for the Fair Lord's beauty, and later has an affair with the Dark Lady. |
