These sonnets are unique in their structure, consisting of 14 lines with a specific rhyme scheme (ABAB CDCD EFEF GG) and a volta, or turn, usually occurring in the final couplet. They also often explore themes of love, beauty, time, and mortality with intricate wordplay and imagery.

There are at least three sonnets in Romeo and Juliet. The prologue to Act One is a sonnet, as is the prologue to Act Two.
