Homework



In Class Group Activity? SCORE!



Write 2 400-word comments about the psychology of the speakers in your Sonnets (for example, one 400-word comment for Sonnet #17 and another 400-word comment for Sonnet #18).

Tell us which sonnet it is and then tell us whether or not he is speaking about a man or a woman--if you are not sure, then write that it is not clear.

After this, argue whether or not the speaker in the sonnet has an emotionally healthy view of love or an emotionally unhealthy view of love that borders on obsession.

Finally, tell us whether or not you agree with the speaker's portrayal of love or not. Is the speaker naive? Is the speaker wise? Why or why not?
