Who are the 3 candidates who were thought to have written Shakespeares plays?
Here are the three most common candidates for writing Shakespeare's plays apart from Shakespeare, who is the clear front-runner:
Francis Bacon-University Educated dude who publicly said he hated plays and the theatre and wrote only turgid academic treatises.
Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford, who published a few insipid works in his own name. Nobody can explain why he would choose to have all of his most brilliant work published under someone else's name.
Christopher Marlowe, who, if he was Shakespeare, was writing plays twenty years after his death for some reason.
It`s about an old man who has fallen in love with a young man and is telling him that he is (1)Beautiful- and (2)Everyone dies. No one knows if Shakespeare was the old man or the young man or if he just made it up. Hope this helps! :)
When were Shakespeare's sonnets written?
Versions of Sonnets 138 and 144 were published in, or shortly before, 1599 (in The Passionate Pilgrime). In 1598 Francis Meres referred in print to Shakespeare's unpublished "sugared sonnets". The First Quarto of Shakespeare's Sonnets was published in 1609.
Based on this information, the orthodox view suggests that many of the sonnets were written before 1599 - though some may have been written or amended between that year and 1609. More precision is not forthcoming.
However, the independent evidence for the biography in Shakespeare's Sonnets is more helpful (see link below). This evidence suggests that the sonnets were written during three main periods, approximately as follows:
1592-95: Sonnets 1-94 and 127-154
1596-99: Sonnets 95-103
1603-04: Sonnets 104-126.
What is Shakespeare's sonnet 12?
When I do count the clock that tells the time,
And see the brave day sunk in hideous night;
When I behold the violet past prime,
And sable curls, all silvered o'er with white;
When lofty trees I see barren of leaves,
Which erst from heat did canopy the herd,
And summer's green all girded up in sheaves,
Borne on the bier with white and bristly beard,
Then of thy beauty do I question make,
That thou among the wastes of time must go,
Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsake
And die as fast as they see others grow;
And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe can make defence
Save breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence.

This is a line from one of Shakespeare's most beautiful sonnets - number 18.
The sonnet claims that the beauty of its addressee will remain forever preserved at its peak, through the power of the poem. So far - over 400 years later - the boast holds true!
The addressee was probably Henry Wriothesley, a young earl who was Shakespeare's patron. Read more at the following link to: The Biography in Shakespeare's Sonnets.
The volta in an English sonnet is where?
The volta, also called the turn, takes place in line 9 of a sonnet. The eight lines, called the octet, sets up a problem or describes a situation. The second part of a sonnet, six lines called the sestet, answers or complicates the octet. At the beginning of line 9, there should be a clear change from problem to solution, or situation to complication.
Frequently a sonnet's ninth line will begin with an opposite from something used near the end of line eight. One example is where "day" is the subject or metaphor of the octet, and is used in line eight. Then, at the start of the sestet, the first or second word is "night," and the sestet clearly focuses on some opposite of the "day" meaning or metaphor.
So, the "volta" is a change of meaning, intent, focus, direction, or outlook that occurs in line 9 of a sonnet. From day to night, from love to hate, from desire to indifference, or from desire to desire unfulfilled. Opposites or denials are common in line 9 as a turn. But, some poetic schools require that the very first word of the volta must signal change, or it becomes a delayed volta. A delayed volta might not signal the change until halfway through line 9. Or a delayed volta might not happen until line 10.
Shakespeare sometimes used the final couplet to shock, or deny the subject of the rest of the sonnet, and this served as the turn. Even though he might express a difference, or a hint of change in line 9, his volta came at line 13.
In order to demonstrate the difficulty of the accurately timed volta, think of a subject that has an opposite viewpoint, or focus. Write the octet extolling the virtues of the subject (in iambic pentameter.) Then write the sestet with an opposing viewpoint or opposing focus. Once you have written the sestet and have a clear understanding of the opposite, see if you can make the very first word of the sestet embody the essence of the opposite.
One such comparison comes to mind. "Samurai, honored clash of blades held high / or clean slice across the neck to die." There are many good or historical things to say about a samurai to fill the octet. At the beginning of line 9, focusing on the samurai's opponent, I would write: "Hacker with dull brass blade that only maims / who cannot see his target nor his aims." You see that even the first syllable, "hack" shows change from skill to inept use of a blade. That is a volta.
