The form of a Sonnet, with its strict structure and rhyme scheme, can contribute to the development and exploration of the theme. The limited number of lines forces the poet to be concise and precise in their expression, allowing for a focused exploration of the theme within a controlled framework. Additionally, the volta or thematic shift in the sonnet's structure can emphasize the contrast or resolution related to the theme.
Sonnet is the genre defined by form rather than theme. A sonnet is a poetic form with specific characteristics such as 14 lines, a specific rhyme scheme, and a fixed structure. The theme of a sonnet can vary widely, but the form remains consistent.
