Beschreibung
William Shakespeare's sonnet was first published in 1609. Its structure and form are a typical example of the Shakespearean sonnet. This sonnet attempts to define love, by telling both what it is and is not. In the first quatrain, the speaker says that love-" the marriage of true minds"-is perfect and unchanging; it does not "admit impediments," and it does not change when it finds changes in the loved one. Over the course of Sonnet 116, the speaker makes several passionate claims about what love is-and what it isn't. For the speaker (traditionally assumed to be Shakespeare himself, and thus a man), true love doesn't change over time: instead, it goes on with the same intensity forever.

Über den Autor
William Shakespeare (1564-1616) was an English playwright, poet, actor, and one of the central figures of world literature. Born in Stratford-upon-Avon, he became a leading dramatist in London during the reigns of Elizabeth I and James I, writing comedies, histories, tragedies, romances, and poems that transformed English drama and helped shape the modern literary imagination. His plays are known for their verbal brilliance, dramatic structure, psychological depth, memorable characters, and extraordinary range of tone, from farce and romantic comedy to political history, philosophical tragedy, and moral ambiguity.Shakespeare's major works include Hamlet, Macbeth, Othello, King Lear, Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Twelfth Night, The Tempest, Julius Caesar, and Measure for Measure. Written around 1603-1604 and first published in the 1623 First Folio, Measure for Measure belongs to the group often called the problem plays, works that contain comic structures but confront unusually dark ethical and social questions. Shakespeare remains essential for readers of classic drama, English literature, Renaissance theatre, poetry, tragedy, comedy, and the enduring study of human character.
