            • Nel sonetto, William Shakespeare adottò una variante; la forma usata dal compositore non equivale alla forma italiana, ma consiste di tre quartine di endecasillabi rimati alternatamente e di un distico finale. I suoi sonetti sono considerati di una certa importanza ,perchè costituiscono un tentativo di abbandonare la tecnica drammatica per quella narrativa, gli studiosi infatti li hanno considerati le rivelazioni di esperienze personali e di commozioni. Il sonetto inglese presenta, rispetto a quello italiano, una variazione anche semantica che comporta la scomparsa della distinzione in due unità (quartine/terzine) a vantaggio di una composizione divisa in quattro parti; per cui il distico finale assume il senso di una sentenza conclusiva. - Il sonetto by Alessandra Renna
