After the epic poem Beowulf, we're going to travel forward in time to the beginning of the 17th century, when Shakespeare's sonnets were published. We're just going to focus on 2 sonnets not to overwhelm you - the Sonnets 18 (Shall I Compare thee* to a Summer's day) and 130 (My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun). Thee* - *you There are certain concepts that we have to cover first in order to be equipped to bring the Bard (i.e. Shakespeare) into the 21st century. He dedicated most of his sonnets to a young man. These are much warmer than those written for the Dark Lady (e.g. Sonnet 130). At that time, it wasn’t so unusual for men to write poems to each other, especially if they shared a special bond (#bromance4life). Most of Shakespeare’s sonnets consist of 14 lines of rhyming IAMBIC PENTAMETER. "What is an IAMBIC PENTAMETER?" no teenager has ever wondered :). It is a metric line that consists of 10 syllables – 5 stressed and 5 unstressed. The rhythm that is created via the alteration (*izmjena) between stressed and unstressed syllables is very important because it initiates a heartbeat. ♥️♥️♥️ I will now let MC Lars tell you more about the English sonnet and the IAMBIC PENTAMETER. !! Guidelines if you decide to do a project on Shakespeare’s Sonnets (A MODERN TAKE ON SONNETS 18 or 130)!! Option 3/4

Obradu soneta ne moras snimat. Ako bi bilo primjereno, mozes nekako vizualno uoicit. Mozes uploadat svoj rad na gdrive (poslala sam link) da ih imam i imate svi/sve na jednom mjestu.
