The Sonnets - Episode One - An Introduction to Shakespeare's Sonnets

Around 1600, probably during a quarantine for plague, William Shakespeare wrote 154 Sonnets that redefined the form and gave us some of the most passionate and poignant poetry in the English Language. Around 2020, going stir-crazy from quarantine, I thought I'd try and make some dumb videos. I absolutely love the Sonnets, so in this series I'm hoping to take a look at these poems and help show what makes them remarkable. I know a little bit about literature, but almost nothing about making videos, so I welcome any feedback! (and YouTube please don't sue me for using stuff I found online. This is educational...?) Music used: Dies Irae - Verdi Greensleeves - John Coltrane Such Sweet Thunder - Duke Ellington
