A Shakespeare sonnet does not have?
Your teacher probably wants you to say that a Shakespearean sonnet does not have a volta (the change in point of view which occurs between Octave and Sestet which is the defining characteristic of the Petrarchan sonnet).This isn't quite true. Several of Shakespeare's sonnets have very obvious voltas. One of the most interesting is sonnet LX where the volta appears to fall between lines 7 and 8, making an interestingly asymmetric movement which I have seen nowhere else in poetry.But Shakespearean sonnets don't usually have voltas, in fact only an author as daring as Shakespeare would even think of giving a Shakespearean sonnet a volta. (Though Donne, I suppose, was such another).
What are differences of William Shakespeare's christopher marlowe's and john donne's work?
Although all three were poets writing at about the same time, Donne never wrote plays. Marlowe and Shakespeare did. Marlowe and Shakespeare were the same age, but Marlowe died at a very young age, so the body of work which he produced was written in a very short time. Marlowe did not have the chance to mature. Shakespeare, on the other hand, was writing for 25 years and his work matured as he wrote. Unlike Marlowe, but like Donne, he grappled with darker issues in a deeper way.
