William Shakespeare transformed the traditional Sonnet form, specifically the Petrarchan sonnet, into the Shakespearean sonnet to suit his poetic vision and thematic interests. His version consists of three quatrains followed by a couplet, allowing for more flexibility in argument and narrative development. This structure enabled him to explore complex emotions and ideas, often culminating in a powerful resolution or twist in the final couplet. Additionally, Shakespeare's innovative use of iambic pentameter and rich imagery distinguished his work and set new standards for English poetry.
