There are at least three sonnets in Romeo and Juliet. The prologue to Act One is a Sonnet, as is the prologue to Act Two. Romeo and Juliet also create a unique two person sonnet in Act One, Scene Five starting where Romeo says "If I profane with my unworthiest hand" (Romeo 1.5.91) and ending with "Then move not while my prayer's effect I take" (Romeo 1.5.104).

There are 154 numbered poems in Shakespeare's Sonnets. One of these (Sonnet 126) is structured as six rhyming couplets instead of the usual three quatrains and a concluding couplet. So, the answer is 153 or 154, dependent on how tightly one defines "sonnet".

Shakespeare did not really write sonnet sequences, which are long poems the individual stanzas of which are in sonnet form. His sonnets are grouped according to their themes or the person they are apparently addressed to, but they do not combine to form larger structures.

Shakespeare wrote sonnets into Romeo and Juliet but not Macbeth. Macbeth is simply blank verse with the exception of the comic prose and the witches' trochees.
