Best Answer

Shakespeare's sonnets are relevant today because they are based on relationships. Not only do they reflect issues that plague relationships such as sex and courtship but the themes of these sonnets are also based on key things in life. such as love and the importance of beauty.

just a hint though: maybe you should ask mrs C. in class what kind of track you should go down. you never know what kind of drop kick could give you an answer.

How did he feel about life in his hometown?

Don't ask about how William Shakespeare felt about anything. He did not leave any diaries and there are very few personal reminiscences about him. His writing was not the kind in which the author bares his heart, not even his sonnets, which may look like they are expressions of feeling but actually it is impossible to tell what connection if any they have with Shakespeare's personal life. So, there is no evidence on which we can base any opinion about what Shakespeare felt about anything. Don't ask.
