The theme of Shakespeare's Sonnet 116 is that true love should overcome and outlast any obstacle.
Sonnet 18- Shall I Compare Thee to A Summer's Day? These four are also some of Shakespeare's most popular sonnets Sonnet 029 - When in disgrace with fortune Sonnet 116 - Let me not to the marriage of true minds Sonnet 126 - O thou my lovely boy Sonnet 130 - My Mistress' eyes
Sonnet XVIII: "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day", or Sonnet XCVI: "Let us not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments"
This is a line from Shakespeare's sonnet 116, "Let us not to the marriage of true minds". It means that love is not true love if it changes with changing circumstances.
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).
