He wrote 154 sonnets. That's a historical fact. The sonnets themselves do not deal with historical topics.
He didn't write Petrarch's sonnets. He didn't write Edmund Spenser's sonnets. He didn't write Elizabeth Barrett Browning's sonnets, and especially not "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways."
Sonnets were so popular because back in Shakespeare's time, people were very into romantic poetry, and sonnets are perfect for that. The sonnets of the Italian poet Petrarch were particularly romantic and popular.
Shakespeare's sonnets are a collection of 154 poems that explore themes of love, beauty, time, and mortality. They are divided into two main parts: the first 126 sonnets are directed to a young man, while the remaining sonnets focus on a dark lady. These sonnets are known for their intricate language, deep emotional expression, and poetic beauty.

Additionally, both forms often focus on expressing deep emotions or insightful observations in a compact and structured manner.
