Analyzing and Interpreting Literature / Unit 17 AIL 1606 short lesson, about 20 seconds
The Sonnet Sequence
Captions available
The idea
Poets wrote sonnets in linked series addressed to one person across many poems. Shakespeare's run to a hundred and fifty-four. A sequence means a passage may depend on poems the exam has not printed, which the board handles by choosing sonnets that stand alone.
In practice
Sonnets written in linked series.
Where people slip
The exam prints ones that stand alone.
